At a point P located some distance away from two charges, the electric potential created by the first charge is 5V. The electric

potential created by the second charge at the same point P is 2V. What is the total electric potential at point P?a. 0Vb. 2Vc. 3Vd. 5Ve. 7V

Answer:

e. 7V

Explanation:

If the potential created at the point P by the first charge is 5 V, and the electric potential created by the second charge is 2 V, as the potential is proportional to the electric field created by the charges, which is linear (due to it is directly proportional to the value of the charges), we can apply the superposition principle.

In this way, we can calculate the total potential, at a point P, as the algebraic sum of the potentials created by all the charges, as if the other ones were not present.

In this case, we have:

V = V₁ + V₂ = 5 V + 2 V = 7 V

Which two questions can be used to identify criteria for how successful the design of an efficient high altitude drone is?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

Though you  do not know what height the previous drone reached, I would think reading 8000 m would be quite an accomplishment. Answer 1: A

B: I wouldn't pick B. Increased cost isn't going to contribute to design success.

C. If the efficiency is low to start with, increasing it some won't matter. On the other hand if the efficiency is moderate or good increasing it by 35% is a good thing. Let's hold on to this answer.

D: It has to work at low altitudes in order to work at high altitudes. I wouldn't pick D

E: Popularity is something you never know will happen. I think C is your best second answer.

Answer: A and C

What is the speed of a wave with a frequency of 100 hz and a wave length of .5 m?
____ [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are 2 ways to help with this. Explain the details, which are fairly simple in this topic, or give the formula. My hope is that an explanation will last longer than memorizing the formula. I give you both.

If a wave has frequency, f, of 3 Hz, its period, T, is

1

3

s

. The wavelength,

λ

, is 5 meters. That means that in the time of one period, the wave travels 5 m.

In general,

S

p

e

e

d

=

distance

time

In applying this general definition of speed

↑

to a wave, we have

speed of the wave

=

wavelength

period

Note: we generally use v for speed of a wave. Using the variable names, then that last formula is written

v

=

λ

T

Since

T

=

1

f

, we can also say that

v

=

λ

⋅

f

So, using that last formula

v

=

5

m

⋅

3

H

z

=

15

m

s

Note: the unit Hz is equivalent to what it was called 100 years ago,

cycles

second

(

also cps

)

. Cycles is not a true unit, so the Hz contributed only the "per second" to the result

15

m

s

.

Tom rides his skateboard 2.4km in 20 mins and Max rides his scooter 3.6km in 30 mins. Who is moving at a faster rate (speed)? Ch
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The are both moving at the same speed

Explanation:

Given the following :

Tom = 2.4km in 20 minutes

Max = 3.6km in 30 minutes

To calculate the rider moving at a faster spedd, we need to calculate the speed of each rider.

Speed = distance / time

Tom's speed :

Distance = 2.4km = 2.4 × 1000 = 2400meters

Time = 20 minutes = 20 × 60 = 1200 seconds

Speed = (2400 / 1200) = 2 meter per second

Max's speed :

Distance = 3.6km = 3.6 × 1000 = 3600meters

Time = 30 minutes = 30 × 60 = 1800 seconds

Speed = (3600 / 1800) = 2 meter per second

Both Tom and Max are riding at the same speed(rate)
