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.

balandron [24]
Hey

Potential Difference given is : 2V

Resistance is : 2 ohms

By Ohm's Law, one can easily utilize the relation :

v = ir

Where, { v , i , r } are the potential difference, current and Resistance Respectively.


Hence,
i =  \frac{v}{r}  =  \frac{2}{2}  = 1a

Hence, the Current is 1 Ampere

A tow truck exerts a net horizontal force of 1050 N on a 760-kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?
vovikov84 [41]
We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
F=ma
where
F is the net force applied to the object
m is the object's mass
a is the acceleration of the object

In this problem, the force applied to the car is F=1050 N, while the mass of the car is m=760 kg. Therefore, we can rearrange the equation and put these numbers in, in order to find the acceleration of the car:
a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1050 N}{760 kg}=1.4 m/s^2

The equation also tells us that the acceleration and the force have same directions: therefore, since the force exerted on the car is horizontal, the correct answer is
<span>B) 1.4 m/s2 horizontally.</span>

4.00 kg glass coffee cup is 30.0°C at room temperature. It is then plunged into hot dishwater at a temperature of 90.0°C, as sho
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Q = 200800 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 4kg

Initial temperature = 30.0°C

Final temperature = 90.0°C

Specific heat capacity of glass = 837 J/kg°C

To find the quantity of heat absorbed;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 90 - 30

dt = 60°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Q = 4*837*60

Q = 200800 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed is 200800 Joules.

In which changes of state do atoms lose energy
Anika [276]
             Yeah, it's every state. Atoms need a certain quanta of energy to jump to each state of energy, and therefore change state depending on how much energy is absorbed and/or released. This applies to all states of matter.

What is Newton’s second law of motion
ddd [48]

"<em>F = dP/dt. </em> The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes."

These days, we break up "the rate at which momentum changes" into its units, and then re-combine them in a slightly different way.  So the way WE express and use the 2nd law of motion is

"<em>F = m·A.</em>  The net force on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and its acceleration."

The two statements say exactly the same thing. You can take either one and work out the other one from it, just by working with the units.
