Alex

Answer:

b. Constant magnitude, but varying direction, perpendicular to the equipotential.

Explanation:

As we know that the relation between electric field and electric potential is given as

$\Delta E = -\frac{dV}{dr}$

here if we say that potential is constant because electric field sensor is moving along equi-potential line.

Then we will say

V = constant

so we have

$\Delta E = 0$

so electric field will remain constant always in magnitude and always remains perpendicular to the surface

so we have

b. Constant magnitude, but varying direction, perpendicular to the equipotential.

The potential energy of a 35 kg cannon ball is 14000 J. How high was the cannon ball to have this much potential energy?

Anettt [7]

From the information given, cannon ball weighs 40 kg and has a potential energy of 14000 J.

We need to find its height.

We will use the formula P.E = mgh

Therefore h = P.E / mg

where P.E is the potential energy,

m is mass in kg,

g is acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

h is the height of the object's displacement in meters.

h = P.E. / mg

h = 14000 / 40 × 9.8

h = 14000 / 392

h = 35.7

Therefore the canon ball was 35.7 meters high.

A ball is thrown straight up with enough speed so that it is in the air for several seconds. Assume the positive direction is up

Andrew [12]

Answer:

a) v= 0 m/s b) v= 6.86 m/s

Explanation:

a) When the ball reaches to its highest point, under the influence of gravity, before starting to fall down, it momentarily comes to an stop (this is needed prior to change direction in any movement), so, applying the definition of acceleration, and replacing the acceleration a by g, we have:

vf = v₀ - g*t (1)

The minus sign means that the acceleration due to gravity is always downward, so if we assume that the positive direction is upwards it must be negative.

At the highest point, vf= 0.

b) Prior to solve this point, we need to know which is the time when the ball reaches to its highest point.

As we know vf=0, we can solve (1) for t, as follows:

th = v₀/g

Now, for a time that is 0.7 s before this time, applying the acceleration definition and solving for v again, we have:

v = v₀ -(g *(th-0.7 s)), but th= v₀/g, so we get:

v= v₀ -g((v₀/g)-0.7 s) = v₀ - v₀ + g*0.7 s

⇒ v=g*0.7 s = 9.8 m/s²*0.7 s

⇒ v = 6.86 m/s
