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.

It depends on the type of interference.
For constructive interference, add the amplitudes to get |35 + 41| = 76 units.
For destructive, subtract them |35 - 41| = 6 units

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 4.3 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.1 x 10-8 m. A
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The charge resides on the outer surface = 1.245 \times 10^{-12} C

Explanation:

Surface area of cell  (A) = 4.3\times 10^{-9}  m^{2}

Separation between two plate  (d) = 1.1 \times 10^{-8}  m  

Dielectric constant (k) = 4.2

Potential difference (\Delta V) = 85.7 \times 10^{-3} V

The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor in free space is given by,

           C = \frac{\epsilon_{o} A }{d}

Where \epsilon_{o}  = permittivity of free space = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

The Capacitance of capacitor is increase by k times when it placed in dielectric medium.

C_{dielectric}  = \frac{k \epsilon_{o} A }{d}

And we know that, C = \frac{Q}{ \Delta V}

So charge on the outer surface is given by,

      Q = \frac{k \epsilon A \Delta V }{d}

      Q = \frac{4.2 \times 4.3 \times 10^{-9} \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 85.7\times 10^{-3}   }{1.1 \times 10^{-8} }

      Q = 1.245 \times 10^{-12}

As a physics instructor hurries to the bus stop, her bus passes her, stops ahead, and begins loading passengers. She runs at 6.0
Alika [10]

velocity of the physics instructor with respect to bus

v = 6 m/s

acceleration of the bus is given as

a = 2 m/s^2

acceleration of instructor with respect to bus is given as

a = -2 m/s^2

now the maximum distance that instructor will move with respect to bus is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 6^2 = 2(-2)(d)

-36 = - 4 d

d = 9 m

so the position of the instructor with respect to door is exceed by

\delta x = 9 - 6 = 3 m

so it will be moved maximum by 3 m distance
