Consider an unknown charge that is released from rest at a particular location in an electric field so that it has some initial

electric potential energy. In what direction will the charge move in regards to its potential energy?
A) a positive charge will move to regions of lower potential energy, but a negative charge will move to regions of higher potential energy
B) a charge will move to regions of lower potential energy, regardless of whether it is positive or negative.
C) a negative charge will move to regions of lower potential energy, but a positive charge will move to regions of higher potential energy
D) a charge will move to regions of higher potential energy, regardless of whether it is positive or negative.
E) both positive and negative charges can move toward either higher or lower potential energy

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

If the charge is released at rest in an electric field, it will move along the electric field, going to regions of higher electric potential if it is a negative charge (against the field direction) and towards lower potential regions if it is positive (along the field). This means that the charge will gain kinetic energy, energy that only can come from a decrease in the electric potential energy.

For a positive charge: ΔEp = q*ΔV < 0 (as ΔV < 0)

For a negative charge: ΔEp = (-q) *ΔV < 0 (as ΔV > 0)

A string is stretched between a fixed support and a pulley a distance 111 cm apart. The tension on the string is controlled by a
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

88.8 m/s= Speed of wave propagation in the required mode.(3 loops)

Explanation:

When there are 3 loops.  

the total length = L = 3 λ /2

⇒ λ  = 2 L / 3 = 2 ( 1.11 ) / 3 = 0.74 m

Velocity = v = f λ = (120)(0.74) = 88.8 m/s

At a rock concert, the sound intensity 1.0 m in front of the bank of loudspeakers is 0.10 W/m². A fan is 30 m from the loudspeak
Klio2033 [76]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Area, the power and the proportionality relationships between intensity and distance.

The expression for sound power is,

P = AI

Here,

A = Area

I = Intensity

P = Power

At the same time the area can be written as,

A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}

Now the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source, then

I \propto \frac{1}{r^2}

The expression for the intensity at different distance is

\frac{I_1}{I_2}= \frac{r^2_2}{r_1^2}

Here,

I_1 = Intensity at distance 1

I_2 = Intensity at distance 2

r_1 = Distance 1 from light source

r_2 = Distance 2 from the light source

If we rearrange the expression to find the intensity at second position we have,

I_2 = I_1 (\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2})

If we replace with our values at this equation we have,

I_2 = (0.10W/m^2)(\frac{1.0m^2}{30.0m^2})

I_2 = 1.11*10^{-4} W/m^2

Now using the equation to find the area we have that

A = \frac{\pi (8.4*10^{-3}m)^2}{4}

A = 5.5*10^{-5}m^2

Finally with the intensity and the area we can find the sound power, which is

P = AI

P = (5.5*10^{-5}m^2)(1.11*10^{-4}W/m^2)

P = 6.1*10^{-9}J/s

Power is defined as the quantity of Energy per second, then

E = 6.1*10^{-9}J

ziro4ka [17]
Each principal energy level has one sublevel containing one orbital, an s orbital, that can contain a maximum of two electrons. Electrons in this orbital are called s electrons and have the lowest energy of any electrons in that principal energy level.
