In the field of electromagnetism, when two charged plates that are situated opposite to each other by a certain distance, it forms an energy called the electric field. This energy is due to the difference in potential energy with respect to distance. Thus,

E = V/d

However, the voltage in volts is energy per coulomb. Thus,
V = (8x10-17 J/electron)*(1electron/1.60218x10^-19 C)
V = 499.32 volts

Therefore,

E = 499.32 volts /2.5 m
E = 199.73 N/C

The electric field that caused the change in potential energy is equal to 199.73 Newtons per Coulomb.

discharge occurs when oppositely charged objects get close enough for the air between them to become electrically charged.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

It does both. Once they get close enough the air does start to get charged, but then they eventually discharge when they touch.

A 15 m uniform ladder weighing 500 N rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes a 60° angle with horizontal. (a) Find t
scoray [572]

Answer:

a)    F₁ = 267.3 N,   N₁ = 1300 N,  b)    μ = 0.324

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the rotational equilibrium condition, we have a reference system is the floor and the anticlockwise rotations as positive, in the adjoint we can see a diagram of the forces

           

let's use subscript 1 for the ladder and 2 for the firefighter

            ∑ τ = 0

          -W₁ x₁ - W₂ x₂ + N₁ y = 0

           N₁ = \frac{W_1 x_1 + W_2 x_2}{y}          (1)

the center of mass of the ladder is at its geometric center,

d = L / 2 = 15/2 = 7.5 m

         cos 60 = x₁ / d₁

         x₁ = d₁ cos 60

         x₁ = 7.5 cos 60

         x₁ = 3.75 m

for the firefighter d₂ = 4 m

         cos 60 = x₂ / d₂

         x₂ = d₂ cos 60

          x₂ = 4 cos 60 = 2 m

for the fulcrum d₃ = 15 m

         sin 60 = y / d₃

         y = d₃ sin 60

         y = 15 sin 60

         y = 13 m

we look for the Normal by substituting in equation 1

         N₂ = \frac{500 \ 3.75 \ + 800 \ 2}{13}

         N₂ = 267.3 N

now let's use the translational equilibrium relations

 X axis

           F₁ - N₂ = 0

           F₁ = N₂

           F₁ = 267.3 N

Axis y

          N₁ - W₁ -W₂ = 0

          N₁ = W₁ + W₂

          N₁ = 500 + 800

          N₁ = 1300 N

b) for this case change the firefighter's distance d₂ = 9 m

          x₂ = 9 cos 60

          x₂ = 4.5 m

we substitute in 1

          N₂ = \frac{500 \ 3.75 \ + 800 \ 4.5}{13}  

          N₂ = 421.15 N

of the translational equilibrium equation on the x-axis

          fr = F₁ = N₂

          fr = 421.15 N

friction force has the expression

          fr = μ N

in this case the reaction of the Earth to the support of the ladder is N1 = 1300N

          μ = fr / N₁

          μ = 421.15 / 1300

          μ = 0.324

If two people lift identical stacks of books the same distance and one person does the job twice as fast, which of the following
Doss [256]

Answer:

Power

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of doing work with reference to the time spent and the formula is force multiplied by velocity.

In this case, if two people lift identical stacks of books the same distance and one person does the job twice as fast, then it means the velocity in the case is doubled which will also lead to an increase in the Power .
