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
The angle of inclination is calculated using sin
function,
sin θ = 5 m / 20 m = 0.25
θ = 14.4775°
<span>The net force exerted is then calculated:
F net = m g sin θ = 20 * 9.8 * 0.25 </span>
F net = 49N
<span>Work is product of net force and distance:
W = F net * d = 49 * 20 </span>
<span>Work = 980 J </span>
Potential energy is highest at the top of the loop, and kinetic energy is highest at the bottom of the loop.
Lo experiences tidal heating primarily because lo’s elliptical orbit causes the tidal force on lo to vary as it orbits the Jupiter. Thus, lo’s elliptical orbit is essential to its tidal heating. This elliptical orbit, in turn, is an end result of the orbital resonance among lo, Europa and ganymade. This orbital resonance origin lo to have a more elliptical orbit than it would because lo intermittently passes Europa and ganymade in the same orbital position. We cannot perceive tidal forces of tidal heating in lo but rather we foresee that they must occur based on the orbital characteristic of the moons and active volcanoes on lo is the observational evidence that tidal heating is significant in lo.
