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.

I have my exam monday I need some help!
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the passage of the waves is one crest every 2.5 seconds, then that is the frequency of the wave, f.

The distance between the 2 crests (or troughs) is the wavelength, λ.

We want the velocity of this wave. The equation that relates these 3 things is

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} and filling in:

2.5=\frac{v}{2.0} so

v = 2.5(2.0) and

v = 5.0 m/s

Please HELP ME If the motion of an object changes, what must be true about the forces acting on that object?
atroni [7]

Answer:

If there is a net force acting on an object, the object will have an acceleration and the object's velocity will change. ... Newton's second law states that for a particular force, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

A satellite of mass 1000kg is in a circular orbit around a planet. The centripetal acceleration of the satellite in its orbit is
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: 5000N

Explanation:

The basic principle of a circular orbit is that Fg = m × ac, so as we have the mass and the centripetal acceleration (also called normal acceleration) we just have to operate. Fg = 1000kg × 5m/s² = 5000N
