A) When a charge is moved in an electric field the work done (W) is calculated as charge*(change in potential). We can write W = q*V or V = W/q = 10/1 = 10V . This voltage is a difference in electric potential between 2 points within the field. If the charge is positive, and positive work is done upon it, then the final position is more positive than the original one.
<span>b) If a charge (Q) is released from rest and falls through a potential difference V, then its gain in energy (KE if no other force acts on the charged body) is q*V = 10J. This is the same as the work done in moving the charge to its new position in part (a), and is an example of the conservation of energy.</span>
Answer:
1.62 m/s
Explanation:
Wavelength of the water wave= 54 m
The frequency is 0.03 Hz
Therefore the velocity can be calculated as follows
Velocity= frequency × wavelength
= 0.03 × 54
= 1.62 m/s
Answer:
Since 2 pi = 360 deg and pi equals 180 deg, 30 deg = pi / 6.
S = theta * R = pi / 6 * 3 cm = 1.57 cm
Answer:
b) Betelgeuse would be
times brighter than Sirius
c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is
the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect
Explanation:
The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:
(1)
where
is the brightness,
is the star luminosity and
, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:
b)
and
where
is the Sun luminosity (
) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem.
is light years.
Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:

c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is
. Then

Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.
