Answer:

The Energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state is called Potential energy.

Mathematically potential energy can be written as,

Potential energy = mgh

Where 'm' represents mass of the body, 'g' represents gravity of the earth and 'h' represents height of body. Potential energy depends on the height, higher the hight from the surface of the earth, maximum will be the potential energy.

For the circuit shown in (Figure 1), find the potential difference between points a and b. Each resistor has

Lynna [10]

The potential difference between points a and b is zero.

<h3>Total emf of the series circuit</h3>

The total emf in the circuit is the sum of all the emf in the circuit.

emf(total) = 1.5 + 1.5 = 3.0 V

<h3>Potential difference</h3>

The potential difference between two points, a and b is calculated as follows;

V(ab) = Va - Vb

V(ab) = 1.5 - 1.5

V(ab) = 0

Thus, the potential difference between points a and b is zero.

A point charge with charge q1 = 3.40 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with charge q2 = -4.90 μC moves

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

-0.79 J

Explanation:

We are given that

$q_1=3.4\mu C=3.4\times 10^{-6} C$

$1\mu C=10^{-6} C$

$q_2=-4.9\mu C=-4.9\times 10^{-6} C$

$x_1=0.125,y_1=0$

$x_2=0.280,y_2=0.235$

We have to find the work done by the electric force on the moving point charge.

$r_1=\sqrt{x^2_1+y^2_1}=\sqrt{(0.125)^2+0}=0.125$

$r_2=\sqrt{(0.280)^2+(0.235)^2}=0.366$

Work done, $W=kq_1q_2(\frac{1}{r_1}-\frac{1}{r_2})$

Where $k=9\times 10^9$

Using the formula

$W=9\times 10^9\times 3.4\times 10^{-6}\times(-4.9\times 10^{-6})(\frac{1}{0.125}-\frac{1}{0.366})$

$W=-0.79 J$

ZanzabumX [31]

"This resolving power" was obviously stated earlier, somewhere before the point where you started copying. With no resolving power specified, there's actually no question, and so no answer.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.

While space walking, when the astronaut gets detached from the space ship, she floats in space holding a wrench. In order to get back to the spaceship, she should throw the wrench in the opposite direction of the spaceship. This action would cause a reaction on her own body and she would be pushed away from the wrench and towards the spaceship. Thus, she can return back to the spaceship in this way.
