3. A force is exerted on a positively-charged particle that moves the particle in the direction opposite to that of an electric

field. Which one of the following statements concerning the work performed in this movement is true? a) The work done on the particle has a positive sign. b) No work is done on such a charged particle, if it is moved in a direction that is parallel or anti-parallel to an electric field. c) The work done on the particle has a negative sign. d) One cannot answer this question without knowing the kind of particle involved

Answer:

a) The work done on the particle has a positive  sign.

Explanation:

When a positive charge is placed in a electric field , a force is exerted by electric field along the direction of the electric field . But the external force is acting on it so that displacement is opposite to the field . That means the external force is acting opposite to electric force on the charged particle.

The displacement is along the external force applied so both force and displacement are positive . Hence work done is positive .

Work done by electric field is negative , because displacement and electric force are opposite.

A bag of sugar weighs 5.00 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration is one-sixt
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Earth: 22.246 N

Moon: 3.71 N

Jupiter: 58.72 N

Explanation:

The mass of an object will remain constant in any location, its weight however, can fluctuate depending on its location. For example, a golf ball will weigh less on the moon, but its mass will not be different if it was on earth.

To calculate anything, we need to convert to standard measurements.

5.00 lbs = 2.27 kg

On earth, gravity is measured to be 9.8 m/s², so the weight in Newtons on Earth would be: (2.27 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 22.246 N

Repeated on the moon where gravity is (9.8 m/s²) x (1/6) = 1.633 m/s², so the weight in Newtons on the moon would be: (2.27 kg) x (1.633 m/s²) = 3.71 N

Repeated on Jupiter where gravity is (9.8 m/s²) x (2.64) = 25.87 m/s², so the wight in Newtons on Jupiter would be: (2.27 kg) x (25.87 m/s²) = 58.72 N

Motor oil , with a viscosity of 0 . 250 Ns / m2 , is flowing through a tube that has a radius of 5 . 00 mm and is 25 . 0 cm long
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

1.1775 x 10^-3 m^3 /s

Explanation:

viscosity, η = 0.250 Ns/m^2

radius, r = 5 mm = 5 x 10^-3 m

length, l = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Pressure, P = 300 kPa = 300000 Pa

According to the Poisuellie's formula

Volume flow per unit time is

V=\frac{\pi \times Pr^{4}}{8\eta l}

V=\frac{3.14 \times 300000\times \left ( 5\times 10^{-3} \right )^{4}}{8\times 0.250\times 0.25}

V = 1.1775 x 10^-3 m^3 /s

Thus, the volume of oil flowing per second is 1.1775 x 10^-3 m^3 /s.

How would you describe a fossil that was discovered in a rock at the base of a cliff to a fossil in a rock found at the top of a
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
The one at the base would be much older due to the law of super position, and the rock at the top would be much newer,again, due to the law of super position.
