A electron is released from rest in a uniform electric field oriented from left to right. What happens to the electric potential

energy of the proton-electric field system?A. IncreaseB. DecreaseC. Remains the same
Physics
1 answer:
True [87]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

When electron is released in an electric field , it will move in the direction opposite to the direction of field. In this process , force is applied by the field and work is done by the field. So its electric potential energy will be decreased because , its energy is converted into kinetic energy of the electron .

Consider that a ray of light is travelling from glass to water. The refractive index of water is 1.30 (i e n . ., 1.30 w = ) and
Bess [88]

Answer:

\theta_i=49.88^{\circ}

Explanation:

Total internal reflection can happen when light goes from a medium with higher refractive index (in this case, glass) to a medium with lower refractive index (in this case, water).

Snell's Law tells us that n_isin\theta_i=n_rsin\theta_r, where the <em>i</em> stands for incident (in this case, glass) and the <em>r</em> for refracted (in this case, water). We want to know when \theta_r=90^{\circ}, that is, when n_isin\theta_i=n_r, and this happens when the incident angle is:

\theta_i=arcsin(\frac{n_r}{n_i})

Which for our values means:

\theta_i=arcsin(\frac{1.3}{1.7})=arcsin(0.76470588235)=49.88^{\circ}

Which is the correct answer?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Point A

Explanation:

The work done by stretching or compressing a spring is given by E=1/2kx²

The potential energy is numerically equal to the work done.

This means that the higher the bigger the value of the extension, x, the higher the energy contained.

In this scenario the modulus of x is considered.

Among the given values of x the modulus of -5 is the largest.

thus it gives the highest value of energy.

Comets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits with large eccentricities. If a comet has speed 1.6×104 m/s when at a distance
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

v₂ = 7.6 x 10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of comet(v₁) = 1.6 x 10⁴ m/s

distance (d₁)= 2.7 x 10¹¹ m

to find the speed when he is at distance of(d₂) 4.8 × 10¹⁰ m

v₂ = ?

speed of planet can be determine using conservation of energy

K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂

\dfrac{1}{2}mv_1^2-\dfrac{GMm}{r_1} = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_2^2-\dfrac{GMm}{r_2}

\dfrac{1}{2}v_1^2-\dfrac{GM}{r_1} = \dfrac{1}{2}v_2^2-\dfrac{GM}{r_2}

v_2^2= v_1^2 + \dfrac{2GM}{r_2}-\dfrac{2GM}{r_1}

v_2= \sqrt{v_1^2 +2GM(\dfrac{1}{r_2}-\dfrac{1}{r_1})}

v_2= \sqrt{(1.6\times 10^4)^2 +2\times 6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 1.99 \times 10^{30}(\dfrac{1}{4.8\times 10^{10}}-\dfrac{1}{2.7\times 10^{11}})}

v₂ = 7.6 x 10⁴ m/s

Two ropes have equal length and are stretched the same way. The speed of a pulse on rope 1 is 1.4 times the speed on rope 2. Par
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

m1/m2 = 0.51

Explanation:

First to all, let's gather the data. We know that both rods, have the same length. Now, the expression to use here is the following:

V = √F/u

This is the equation that describes the relation between speed of a pulse and a force exerted on it.

the value of "u" is:

u = m/L

Where m is the mass of the rod, and L the length.

Now, for the rod 1:

V1 = √F/u1 (1)

rod 2:

V2 = √F/u2 (2)

Now, let's express V1 in function of V2, because we know that V1 is 1.4 times the speed of rod 2, so, V1 = 1.4V2. Replacing in the equation (1) we have:

1.4V2 = √F/u1 (3)

Replacing (2) in (3):

1.4(√F/u2) = √F/u1 (4)

Now, let's solve the equation 4:

[1.4(√F/u2)]² = F/u1

1.96(F/u2) =F/u1

1.96F = F*u2/u1

1.96 = u2/u1 (5)

Now, replacing the expression of u into (5) we have the following:

1.96 = m2/L / m1/L

1.96 = m2/m1 (6)

But we need m1/m2 so:

1.96m1 = m2

m1/m2 = 1/1.96

m1/m2 = 0.51
