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).

You need to move a 132 kg sofa to a different location in the room. It takes a force
nataly862011 [7]

Let <em>w</em> denote the weight of the sofa, <em>n</em> the magnitude of the normal force, and <em>f</em> the magnitude of the friction force. The sofa is in equilibrium, so by Newton's second law,

<em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

125 N - <em>f</em> = 0

The sofa has a weight of

<em>w</em> = (132 kg) <em>g</em> = 1293.6 N

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Since <em>n</em> = <em>w</em>, the normal force has the same magnitude.

The friction force is proportional to the normal force by a factor of the coefficient of static friction <em>µ</em>, such that

<em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em>

Our second equation tells us <em>f</em> = 125 N, so solve for <em>µ</em> :

125 N = <em>µ</em> (1293.6 N)

<em>µ</em> ≈ 0.0966

A 24 kg crate is moving at a constant speed because it is being pushed with a force of 53n. What would be the coefficient of kin
____ [38]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor can be calculated using the formula μ = Ff / N, where Ff is the frictional force, N is the normal force, and μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

In this case, the normal force is equal to the weight of the crate, which is 24 kg * 9.8 m/s2 = 235.2 N. The frictional force can be calculated using the formula Ff = μ * N, where μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction and N is the normal force.

If we substitute the values for N and Ff into the formula for the coefficient of kinetic friction, we get:μ = 53 N / 235.2 N = 0.225

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.225.
