A train travels north at a speed of 50 m/s.

Physics

Gala2k [10]3 years ago

The apparent velocity is B) 48 m/s north

Explanation:

Here we have a problem of relativity of velocities.

In fact, the train is travelling north at a speed of

v_t = 50 m/s

where this velocity is measured with respect to the ground.

At the same time, a passenger on the train is walking towards the rear (so, south) at a velocity of

v'=2 m/s

where this velocity is measured with respect to the train, which is in motion in the opposite direction.

Therefore, the apparent velocity of the passenger with respect to an observer standing on the ground is:

v=V_t - v' = 50 - 2 = 48 m/s

And the direction is north, since this number is positive.

A uniform electric field has a magnitude 1.80 kV/m and points in the +x direction. (a) What is the electric potential difference
EastWind [94]

Answer:

a)ΔV = 6.48 KV

b)ΔU =18.79 mJ

Explanation:

Given that

E= 1.8 KV/m

a)

We know that

Electric potential difference  ΔV given as

ΔV = E .d

Here

E= 1.8 KV/m

d= 3.6 m

ΔV = E .d

ΔV = 1.8 x 3.6 KV

ΔV = 6.48 KV

b)

Given that

q=+2.90 µC

Change in electric potential energy ΔU given as

ΔU = q .ΔV

\Delta U=2.9\times 10^{-6}\times 6.48\times 10^3\ J

ΔU =18.79 mJ
