When an object with a negative charge is moved from point A to point B through an external electrical field, it gains electrical

potential energy. When an object with positive charge is moved from point A to point B though the same field, it loses electrical potential energy. Which of the following statements is true? Select all that apply.
A:Because the positive and negative charges cancel out, the potential difference between A and B is zero (that is, VB = VA).

B:The positively charged object moves through a negative potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA < 0).

C:The negatively charged object moves through a negative potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA < 0).

D: The negatively charged object moves through a positive potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA > 0).

E:The positively charged object moves through a positive potential difference from A and B (that is, VB - VA > 0).

-An explanation would be appreciated, thank you!

Explanation:

As per the problem,

           \Delta U = (V_{B} - V_{A})(-q) > 0

When q > 0 then -q is a negative charge . Since, change in potential energy (\Delta U) increases.

or,     (V_{A} - V_{B})q > 0

or,      V_{A} > V_{B}

Therefore, both positive and negative charge will move from V_{A} to V_{B} and as V_{B} < V_{A} so both of them move through a negative potential difference.

Thus, we can conclude that the true statements are as follows.

  • The positively charged object moves through a negative potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA < 0).
  • The negatively charged object moves through a negative potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA < 0).

                                             = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (95 sec)²

                                             =  (4.9 m/s²) (9,025 sec²)

Which material will displace a volume of water? Which material will displace a volume of water less than its own volume? Which m
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

1. all of them

2. cork and wax

3. iron, lead, and aluminum

4. none of them

Explanation:

1.Which material will displace a volume of water?  all of them

When an object is introduced into a container with a volume of water, a volume of liquid equal to the volume of the object is displaced

2.Which material will displace a volume of water less than its own volume?

cork and wax

because  the density of the object is less than that of the displaced liquid

3.Which material will displace a volume of water equal to its own volume?

iron, lead, and aluminum

because  Arquimedes's principle: any body plunged inside a fluid in this case water experiences an ascending force called push, equivalent to the weight of the fluid removed by the body

4.Which material will displace a volume of water greater than its own volume?

None of them

suppose you use three different scales to weigh bag of oranges one scale says the bag weighs 2.1 lbs a second says it weighs 2.2
Ber [7]

Answer:

It would be 2.2 if you have to round the five to the one but if your not rounding the number, it'd be 2.1.

Which of the following is not a form of an inclined plane?
disa [49]

Answer: piece of paper cut into a triangle  

Explanation:

A plane surface lifted at an angle to horizontal from one edge is said to be an inclined plane. A wedge, a ramp or a screw are examples of a forms of inclined plane. A screw is like a inclined plane wound on a cylinder. These are simple machines. On the other hand, a piece of paper cut into a triangle is not an inclined plane as it does rise at an angle from horizontal. It is not a machine.
