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.

<u>Note that</u>:

The gravitational potential energy = mgh

where m: is the mass, g: the acceleration due to the gravity and h is the height from the earth surface

Then, we can increase the gravitational potential energy by increasing the mass or the height from the earth surface

<u>In our question</u>, we can increase the gravitational potential energy by

<u>A) Strap a boulder to the car so that it wights more.</u>

In 1994, Leroy Burrell of the United States set what was then a new world record for the men’s 100 m run. He ran the 1.00  102
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

61.33 Kg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance = 1×10² m

Time = 9.5 s

Kinetic energy (KE) = 3.40×10³ J

Mass (m) =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity Leroy Burrell. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance = 1×10² m

Time = 9.5 s

Velocity =?

Velocity = Distance / time

Velocity = 1×10² / 9.5

Velocity = 10.53 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the mass of Leroy Burrell. This can be obtained as follow:

Kinetic energy (KE) = 3.40×10³ J

Velocity (v) = 10.53 m/s

Mass (m) =?

KE = ½mv²

3.40×10³ = ½ × m × 10.53²

3.40×10³ = ½ × m × 110.8809

3.40×10³ = m × 55.44045

Divide both side by 55.44045

m = 3.40×10³ / 55.44045

m = 61.33 Kg

Thus, the mass of Leroy Burrell is 61.33 Kg

3. An athlete makes a long jump and follows a projectile motion. Air resistance is negligible. Which one of the following statem
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

The motion under the influence of gravity is called projectile motion.

The acceleration due to gravity is constant through out the motion and it is always acting downwards.

When an athlete jumps and follow the projectile path, it always have the same horizontal velocity as there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction.

Also he has the vertical acceleration constant which is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and acts towards the center of earth.  

Option (b) is correct.
