Answer:

(a) increase

Explanation:

On a line graph; we have the x-axis to the positive side and the negative side .In a positive x-axis direction, the force is usually positive, vice versa the negative side as well.

The change in the potential energy of a charge field-system can be given as:

\delta U= -q(EdsCos \theta)

where;

q = positive test charge

E = Electric field

ds = displacement between thee charge positions

θ  = Angle between the electric field and the displacement.

Given that:

Charge of the particle = -q

displacement = (60.0 -20.0)cm = 40.0 cm

θ = 0

Replacing our values in the above equation, we have:

\delta U = -(-q)(60Cos 0)

\delta U = qEds

Since the potential energy of the system is positive, therefor the electric potential energy also increases.

sammy [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to electric potential and electric potential energy. By definition we know that the electric potential is determined under the function:

V = \frac{k_e q}{r}

k_e = Coulomb's constant

q = Charge

r = Radius

At the same time

U = \frac{k_e q_1q_2}{r}

The values of variables are the same, then if we replace in a single equation we have this expression,

U  = Vq

If we replace the values, we have finally that the charge is,

V = 800V

q = 1\mu C

U = (800V)(1*10^{-6}C)

U = 8*10^{-4}J

Therefore the potential energy of the system is 8*10^{-4} J

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

To convert gram / centimeter³ to kg / m³

gram / centimeter³

= 10⁻³ kg / centimeter³

= 10⁻³  / (10⁻²)³ kg / m³

= 10⁻³ / 10⁻⁶ kg / m³

= 10⁻³⁺⁶ kg / m³

= 10³ kg / m³

So we shall have to multiply be 10³ with amount in gm / cm³ to convert it into kg/m³

2.33 gram / cm³

= 2.33 x 10³ kg / m³ .

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

0.261\ \text{m}

Explanation:

\Delta f = Change in frequency = 2.1 Hz

f = Frequency of source of sound = 440 Hz

v_m= Maximum of the microphone

v = Speed of sound = 343 m/s

T = Time period = 2 s

We have the relation

\Delta f=2f\dfrac{v_m}{v}\\\Rightarrow v_m=\dfrac{\Delta fv}{2f}\\\Rightarrow v_m=\dfrac{2.1\times 343}{2\times 440}\\\Rightarrow v_m=0.8185\ \text{m/s}

Amplitude is given by

A=\dfrac{v_m T}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{0.8185\times 2}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow A=0.261\ \text{m}

The amplitude of the simple harmonic motion is 0.261\ \text{m}.
