The electrostatic potential energy, U, of one point charge q at position d in the presence of an electric field E is defined as the negative of the work W done by the electrostatic force to bring it from the reference position d to that position
Thus, to double the electric potential energy U we need to reduce the distance of separation by half (1/2) because they are inversely proportion
Answer:
v = 0
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by taking into account:
- The equation for the calculation of the period in a spring-masss system
( 1 )
- The equation for the velocity of a simple harmonic motion
( 2 )
where m is the mass of the block, k is the spring constant, A is the amplitude (in this case A = 14 cm) and v is the velocity of the block
Hence
and by reeplacing it in ( 2 ):
In this case for 0.9 s the velocity is zero, that is, the block is in a position with the max displacement from the equilibrium.
