Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self explanatory.

Explanation:

1) A positive point charge released from rest will initially accelerate along an E-field line : TRUE.

The electric field lines have the same direction that will have a positive test charge, when acted on by the force exerted by the charge distribution that creates the field.

2) E-Field lines make circles around positive charges: FALSE.

E-Field lines start in positive charges and finish in negative charges, except at infinity.

3) E-field lines point inward toward negative charges: TRUE

As the E-field lines follow the trajectory that would have a positive test charge, as negative charges attract the positive charges, the positive test charge will travel towards the negative charges.

4) E-Field line may cross: FALSE

As the E-Field is the gradient of the electric potential (so they have the direction of the maximum change of the potential), if they may cross, this would mean that the potential could be changing differently at the same point, which it is not possible.

5) E-Field lines point outward from positive charges: TRUE

As explained above, the E-field lines follow the trajectory that it would have a positive test charge, so if the field is created by a positive charge, the test charge would go away from it, so the field lines point outward from positive charges.

6) Where the E-field lines are dense the E-field must be weak : FALSE

By convention, the E-field lines are proportional to the charge that creates the field, so if the E-field lines are dense, this means that the field is strong.

7) E-field lines do not begin or end in a charge-free region except at infinity: TRUE.

Except at infinity, E-field lines originate at positive charges and finish at negative charges, so they can't originate in a charge-free region.

Consider a system consisting of the Earth, a vertical spring attached to the Earth, and a mass attached to the other end of the

Liula [17]

Answer:

The external force leads to an increase on gravitational and spring potential energies.

Explanation:

The system consists of a mass, resort and Earth. According to the Principle of Energy Conservation there is a potential energy as a consequence of the interaction between Earth and the mass and spring potential energy because of the spring deformation and, besides, the existence of work due to an external force:

$U_{g,A} + U_{k,A} + W_{ext} = U_{g,B} + U_{k,B}$

$W_{ext} = (U_{g,B}-U_{g,A}) + (U_{k,B}-U_{k,A})$

$F\cdot \Delta r = \frac{G\cdot m\cdot M}{r_{o}-\Delta r} - \frac{G\cdot m \cdot M}{r_{o}} +\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot (x_{o}+\Delta r)^{2} - \frac{1}{2} \cdot k \cdot (x_{o})^{2}$

$F\cdot \Delta r = G\cdot m \cdot M \cdot \left(\frac{1}{r_{o}-\Delta r}-\frac{1}{r_{o}} \right)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot [(x_{o}+\Delta r)^{2} -x_{o}^{2}]$

The external force leads to an increase on gravitational and spring potential energies.

Question: An increased number of rod cells increase the ability to see, A. during the day B. at night C. underwater or D. colors

Fynjy0 [20]

B- at night

In eyes of the humans, and many other animals there are two types of receptors, the rods, and the cones. The cones have an important role in color vision and they possess different types of pigment which enable color vision.
On the other hand, the rods are more sensitive to light, and they are responsible for black and white vision.
Therefore, an increase in the number of rods can enable the animal to see betther in the dark.

A bullet glider and a target glider both have a mass of 0.200 kg. The bullet glider is moving 0.450 m/s

Romashka [77]

Answer:

the two gliders collide, the mobile glider will transfer a bit of time to the fixed glider, which is why it comes out with a speed that is smaller than that of the bullet glider.

Explanation:

When the two gliders collide, the mobile glider will transfer a bit of time to the fixed glider, which is why it comes out with a speed that is smaller than that of the bullet glider.

Changes can occur that the gliders unite and move with a cosecant speed less than the initial one.

The whole process must be analyzed using conservation of the moment.

p₀ = m v₀

celestines que clash case

p_f = (m + M) v

po = pf

m v₀ = (n + M) v

v = $\frac{m}{m+M}$

calculemos

v= $\frac{0.200}{0.200+M} 0.450$

v= 0.09 m/s

elastic shock case

p₀ = m v₀

p_f = m v₁ +M v₂

p₀ = p_f

A device that uses electromagnetic induction to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another is a(n)_____.

Nutka1998 [239]

A device that uses electromagnetic induction to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another is a transformer.

<h3>Which device uses electromagnetic induction to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another?</h3>

A transformer is an electrical device that transfers energy from one electric circuit to another using the electromagnetic induction principle.
It is intended to change the AC voltage between the circuits while keeping the current's frequency constant.
A transformer work on the principle of electromagnetic induction in which flux is linked from primary to secondary.
Transformers accomplish this without establishing a conductive link between the two circuits. This is made feasible by using Faraday's Law of Induction, which explains how an electric circuit will interact with a magnetic field to produce an electromotive force (EMF).
