Points A, B, and C lie along a line from left to right, respectively. Point B is at a lower electric potential than point A. Poi

nt C is at a lower electric potential than point B. Which one of the following statements best describes the subsequent motion, if any, of a positively-charged particle released from rest at point B?
A) The particle will accelerate in the direction of point C.
B) The particle will move at constant velocity in the direction of point C.
C) The particle will remain at rest.

Answer:

A) The particle will accelerate in the direction of point C.

Explanation:

As we know that

potential at points A, B,C and D as V_A, V_B, V_C, V_D  and it is clear from the question that

V_A>V_B>V_C

And we know that flow is always from higher to lower potential (for positive charge due to positive potential energy).

So the charge will accelerate from B toward C.

Hence, the correct option is A.

Marina CMI [18]
A would be number 2. Newton's First Law states that an object at rest, will stay at rest and an object in motion, will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. B would be number 3. His Second Law states that <span>the sum of the forces acting on a body is equal to the product of the mass of the body and the acceleration produced by the forces. And, C would be number 1. His Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Hope this helps!</span>

nan moved 18m to the right and then another 22m to the right if the motion takes 20 seconds what is nans velocity
IrinaVladis [17]
Step 1: list known info

distance(change in position (Δx))= 18m+22m= 40m
time= 20 seconds

Step 2 :solve for velocity

velocity= Δx÷time
v= 40/20= 2m/s

Answer: the velocity is 2 meters per a second (m/s)

0/2 File Limit
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Speed at which it will reach the ground is given as

v_f = 46.8 m/s

Total time for which it will remain in air is given as

t = 6.3 s

Explanation:

As we know that the object is projected upwards with speed

v_i = 15 m/s

g = - 9.81 m/s^2

now when it will reach the ground then we have

y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

so we have

-100 = 15 t - \frac{1}{2}(-9.81) t^2

4.905 t^2 - 15 t - 100 = 0

so we have

t = 6.3 s

Now speed of the object when it reaches the ground is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = -15 + (9.81)(6.3)

v_f = 46.8 m/s

Does gravity have an effect on the potential difference of a battery?
Sonja [21]

Answer: The correct answer is "No".

Explanation:

Gravity: It is the force which causes object to fall on the earth. It is the force which attracts bodies towards each other.

Potential difference: It is defined as the potential acting between the two points. The work done in moving the unit positive charge from one location to the another location.

The potential difference in battery is caused by the electrodes. There are two terminals in battery: Negative terminal which is at lower potential and Positive terminal which is at higher potential. It forces the electrons to flow in the circuit which constitutes the current.

The gravity and the potential difference have no relation between them.

Therefore, gravity have no effect on the potential difference of a battery.
