5N of force is applied to move a large nail a distance of 10 cm from an electromagnet on a frictionless table. The nail is then

released. What is the best description of the change from potential to kinetic energy as the nail moves back toward the electromagnet?
A) All of the energy is kinetic as soon as the nail is released.
B) The rate of change from potential to kinetic energy is constant.
C) The rate of change from potential to kinetic energy is exponential.
D) The kinetic energy is 25 J when the nail is 5 cm from the electromagnet.

Answer:

C) The rate of change from potential to kinetic energy is exponential.

Explanation:

As we know that total mechanical energy must be conserved here

As we know that there is no friction force on this system of electromagnet and nail

So here we can say that that

Magnetic potential energy of the nail + electromagnet system will convert into kinetic energy of the nail as it is released.

So we will have

Initial potential energy = work done to move it away by 10 cm

U = 5(0.10)

U = 0.5 J

now as the nail is released then this potential energy will start to convert into kinetic energy

So here correct answer must be

C) The rate of change from potential to kinetic energy is exponential.

Which sequence correctly reflects the order in which electrical charges occur during an action potential, from first to last?
Lady_Fox [76]
This sequence refer to how neurons send messages electrochemically. When the neurons are at rest, they are at its resting potential at -70 millivolts. If the neurons in the brain send messages, a spike would occur until it reaches the threshold potential at -55 mV. If it reaches the threshold potential, then an action potential occurs.Hence, the sequence would be letter C.

A negative charge is moved from point A to point B along an equipotential surface. Which of the following statements must be tru
elena-s [515]

Answer:

C) No work is required to move the negative charge from point A to point B.

Explanation:

An equipotential surface is defined as a surface connecting all the points at the same potential.

Therefore, when a charge moves along an equipotential surface, it moves between points at same potential.

The work done when moving a charge is given by

W=q\Delta V

where

q is the charge

\Delta V is the potential difference between the initial and final point of motion of the charge

However, the charge in this problem moves along an equipotential surface: this means that the potential does not change, so

\Delta V=0

And so, the work done is also zero.

A geneticist looks through a microscope to determine the phenotype of a fruit fly. The microscope is set to an overall magnifica
Ugo [173]

Answer:

f_{e}  = 1.9 cm

Explanation:

The magnification of a microscope is the product of the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnifier with the objective

    M = M₀ m_{e}

Where M₀ is the magnification of the objective and  m_{e} is the magnification of the eyepiece.

The eyepiece is focused to the near vision point (d = 25 cm)

       m_{e} = 25 /  f_{e}

The objective is focused on the distances of the tube (L)

     M₀ = -L / f₀

Substituting

     M = - L/f₀    25/f_{e}  

1) Let's look for the focal length of the eyepiece (faith)

     f_{e}  = - L 25 / f₀ M

     M = 400X = -400

     f_{e}  = - 12 25 /0.40 (-400)

     f_{e}  = 1.875 cm

Let's approximate two significant figures

    f_{e}  = 1.9 cm
