It decreases and the decrease in the energy level appear as a kinetic energy of the charge

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its position. Whereas kinetic energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its motion.

For example, when a charge moves from one point to another then it means the charge has come to motion.

Thus, we can conclude that potential energy of a stationary charge when it begins to move freely from one point to another under the influence of an electric field decreases.

What happens to the frequency and pitch of sound if the object making the sound moves away from you ?
Olin [163]

If you and the source of sound are moving apart, then the pitch (frequency) <em>you hear</em> is <em>lower</em> than the pitch (frequency) that's actually leaving the source.  

It doesn't matter whether you or the source is the one moving, only that the distance between you is increasing.

Arte-miy333 [17]

The term pressure refers to the force per area created by the weight
of anything whose weight is distributed over an area, such as the
Earth's atmosphere, a lake, a gas inside a sealed jar, or a pointy
high heel.

A 2.1 kg block is dropped from rest from a height of 5.5 m above the top of the spring. When the block is momentarily at rest, t
ella [17]

Answer:

The speed of the block is 8.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m = 2.1 kg

height above the top of the spring, h = 5.5 m

First, we determine the spring constant based on the principle of conservation of potential energy

¹/₂Kx² = mg(h +x)

¹/₂K(0.25)² = 2.1 x 9.8(5.5 +0.25)

0.03125K = 118.335

K = 118.335 / 0.03125

K = 3786.72 N/m

Total energy stored in the block at rest is only potential energy given as:

E = U = mgh

U = 2.1 x 9.8 x 5.5 = 113.19 J

Work done in compressing the spring to 15.0 cm:

W = ¹/₂Kx² = ¹/₂ (3786.72)(0.15)² = 42.6 J

This is equal to elastic potential energy stored in the spring,

Then, kinetic energy of the spring is given as:

K.E = E - W

K.E = 113.19 J - 42.6 J

K.E = 70.59 J

To determine the speed of the block due to this energy:

KE =  ¹/₂mv²

70.59 =  ¹/₂ x 2.1 x v²

70.59 = 1.05v²

v² = 70.59 / 1.05

v² = 67.229

v = √67.229

v = 8.2 m/s
