What sentence(s) is/are true when we talk about equipotential lines?

Physics
1 answer:
rodikova [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Equipotential lines are the imaginary lines in the space where actually the electric potential is same at each and every point.

Work is not required to move along such points of the equipotential line because the movement is always perpendicular to the electric field lines because these lines are always perpendicular to the electric field lines.

The electric potential for a point charge is given mathematically as:

V=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0}\times \frac{Q}{r}

where:

Q= magnitude of the point charge

r= radial distance form the charge

\epsilon_0= permittivity of free space

The Millersburg Ferry (m = 13000.0 kg loaded) is travelling at 11 m/s when the engines are put in reverse. The engineproduces a
Pie

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Millersburg Ferry, m = 13000 kg

Velocity, v = 11 m/s

Applied force, F = 10⁶ N

Time period, t = 20 seconds

(a) Impulse is given by the product of force and time taken i.e.

J=F.\Delta t

J=10^6\ N\times 20\ s

J=2\times 10^7\ N-s

(b) Impulse is also given by the change in momentum i.e.

J=\Delta p=p_f-p_i

J=p_f-p_i

p_f=J+p_i

p_f=2\times 10^7\ N-s+13000\ kg\times 11\ m/s

p_f=20143000\ kg-m/s

(c) For new velocity,

v_f=\dfrac{p_f}{m}

v_f=\dfrac{20143000\ kg-m/s}{13000\ kg}

v_f=1549.46\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A car has a kinetic energy of 1.9 × 10^3 joules. If the velocity of the car is decreased by half, what is its kinetic energy?
VLD [36.1K]
The initial kinetic energy of the car is
E_1 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 =  1.9 \cdot 10^3 J

Then, the velocity of the car is decreased by half: v_2 =  \frac{v_1}{2}
so, the new kinetic energy is
E_2 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_2 ^2 =  \frac{1}{2} m ( \frac{v_1}{2} )^2= \frac{1}{2}m \frac{v_1^2}{4}= \frac{E_1}{4}
So, the new kinetic energy is 1/4 of the initial kinetic energy of the car. Numerically:
E_2 =  \frac{1.9 \cdot 10^3 J}{4}=475 J

A small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pendulum. The
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) see attached, a = g sin θ

b)

c)   v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

Explanation:

In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by

          Wₓ = m a

          W sin θ = m a

          a = g sin θ

b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less

                θ' = 9/2  θ

             

c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.

The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy

Highest point

            Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)

Lowest point

          Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2

              v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

An ice skater spins at 2.5 rev/s when his arms are extended. He draws his arms in and spins at 10.0 rev/s. By what factor does h
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity of the ice skater, ω₁ = 2.5 rev/s

final angular velocity of the  ice skater, ω₂ = 10.0 rev/s

During this process we assume that angular momentum is conserved;

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Where;

I₁ is the initial moment of inertia

I₂ is the final moment of inertia

I_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{\omega_2} = \frac{I_1*2.5}{10} \\\\I_2 = 0.25I_1 = \frac{1}{4}I_1

Therefore, the moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

Why would it be desirable to use an energy resource that does not produce greenhouse gases ?
Dimas [21]

It be desirable to use an energy resource that does not produce greenhouse gases because it contribute to climate change .

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Greenhouse gases are the toxic gases that contribute to the "greenhouse effect". Greenhouse gases have the ability to absorb and emit some of the outgoing energy that is radiated by the Earth's surface, eventually causing the heat to get accumulated in the "lower atmosphere". It is always beneficial to use Renewable Energy sources such as Wind, solar and water which gives no harm to the environment and climate with no greenhouse gas emissions.  

<u>For example:</u> If we have to generate electricity, there will be no greenhouse gas production at the beginning and a very less amount of production at the entire life cycle.
