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 .

A boy reaches out of a window and tosses a ball straight up with a speed of 10 m/s. The ball is 20 m above the ground as he rele
kirill115 [55]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the ball, v = 10 m/s

Initial position of ball above ground, h = 20 m

(a) Let H is the maximum height reached by the ball. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh'            

h'=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

h'=\dfrac{(10)^2}{2\times 9.8}

h' = 5.1 m

The maximum height above ground,

H = 5.1 + 20

H = 25.1 meters

So, the maximum height reached by the ball is 25.1 meters.

(b) The ball's speed as it passes the window on its way down is same as the initial speed i.e. 10 m/s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 2 kg object traveling at 5 m s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides head-on with and sticks to a 3 kg object initiall
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object m=2\ kg

Speed of object u=5\ m/s

Mass of object at rest M=3\ kg

Suppose after collision, speed is v

conserving momentum

\Rightarrow mu+0=(m+M)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\times 5}{2+3}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2\ m/s

Initial kinetic energy

k_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2\\\\k_1=25\ J

Final kinetic energy

k_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2+3)\times 2^2\\\\k_2=10\ J

So, it is clear there is decrease in kinetic energy . Thus, energy decreases and velocity becomes 2 m/s.

Jefferson's administration was the beginning of popular government in the United States.
marshall27 [118]
He repealed federal taxes, Jefferson reduced military spending. He bought Louisiana from France. Considering only all these positive points and leaving aside the negative ones, one would say that the statement that "Jefferson's administration was the beginning of popular government in the United States." Is True!

The label has been scratched off a tuning fork and you need to know its frequency. From its size, you suspect that it is somewhe
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

255 Hz

Explanation:

With 5 beats per second with the 250 Hz fork, we know the unknown fork is either 250 - 5 = 245Hz or 250 + 5 = 255 Hz

With 15 beats per second with the 270 Hz fork, we know the unknown fork is either 270 - 15 = 255Hz or 270 + 15 = 285 Hz (most people would have a hard time discerning 15 beats per second... 5 per second is hard enough)

As 255 is the common frequency, it is the one selected.
