Answer: higher and lower

Explanation:

charge in an electric field will experience a force in the direction of decreasing potential energy. Since the electric potential energy of a negative charge is equal to the charge times the electric potential the direction of decreasing electric potential energy is the direction of increasing electric potential.

During which two time intervals does the particle undergo equal displacement?

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

BC and DE

Explanation:

In the given figure, the velocity time graph is shown. We know that the area under v-t curve gives the displacement of the particle.

Area under AB, $d_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10=10\ m$

Area under BC, $d_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m$

Area under CD, $d_3=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 7=7\ m$

Area under DE, $d_4=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m$

Area under EF, $d_5=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3=3\ m$

So, form above calculations it is clear that, during BC and DE undergo equal displacement. Hence, the correct option is (c) "BC and DE = 4 meters".

A small electric motor produces a force of 5 N that moves a remote-control car 5 m every second. How much power does the motor p

kati45 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Force, f = 5 N

Velocity, v = 5 m/s

Power, p = energy/time

Energy = mass × acceleration × distance

Poer, p = force × velocity

= 5 × 5

= 25 W.

Note 1 watt = 0.00134 horsepower

But 25 watt,

0.00134 hp/1 watt × 25 watt

= 0.0335 hp.

Define moment of momentum. at which condition is it's magnitude zero?

ololo11 [35]

Let's start with the concept of momentum. What is it? Linear momentum in physics is mathematically written as a product of mass and velocity of an object. Now let us suppose a body of mass m is moving in an inertial frame of reference with velocity v. Consider the fact that no external force is acting on the system. The momentum of this body is given by mv, where m is the mass and v is its velocity. In case of simple real world problems not delving into the realms of relativity, mass is a conserved quantity and it cannot be zero. Hence the velocity of the body must be zero and hence the momentum.

However, photons are considered to have a rest mass zero.

However note the point carefully "rest mass". A body in motion cannot have mass to be zero.

Mercury has a radial acceleration of 3.96 × 10−2 m/s2 and its orbital period is T = 88 days. What is the radius of Mercury’s orb

Maslowich

Answer: 58,045,522,878.8 meters

Explanation:

Ok, the data we have is

Period = T = 88 days

Radial acceleration = ar = 3.96x10^-2 m/s^2

And we know that the equation for the radial acceleration is:

ar = v^2/r = r*w^2

Where v is the velocity. r is the radius and w is the angular velocity.

And we know that:

w = 2*pi*f

where f is the frequency, and:

T = 1/f.

Then we can write:

w = 2*pi/T

and our equation becomes:

ar = r*(2*pi/T)^2

Now we solve this for r.

First we need to use the same units in both equations, so we want to write T in seconds.

T = 88 days,

A day has 24 hours, and one hour has 3600 seconds:

T = 88*24*3600 s =7,603,200s

Then:

3.96x10^-2 m/s^2 = r*(2*3.14/7,603,200s)^2

r = (3.96x10^-2 m/s^2) /(2*3.14/7,603,200s)^2 = 58,045,522,878.8 meters
