Answer:

(a) The speed of proton decreases as it moves from A to B.

(b) Plate B is at a higher potential.

(d) Parallel lines parallel to the two plates.

Parallel lines equally spaced.

Explanation:

The electric potential energy is given by the following formula:

$U = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{qq_0}{r}$

Alternatively, potential energy in a uniform electric field is

$U = qEr$

where 'r' is the distance from negative to positive plates. This definition is analogues to that of gravitational potential energy, U = mgh.

If the positively charged proton is gaining potential energy as it gets closer to plate B, then plate B is charged positively.

(a) According to this information, the speed of proton decreases as it moves from A to B. This is similar to the speed of an object which is gaining potential energy by moving higher.

(b) By the same gravitational analogy, plate B is at a higher potential.

(d) The equipotential lines are parallel to electric field lines which are perpendicular to the plates. So, the equipotential lines are parallel to the plates. Since the electric field between the plates is uniform, then the equipotential lines are equally seperated.

Answer:

Lighthouse 1 during the day will be warmer, lighthouse 2 during the night will be warmer.

Explanation:

As the paragraph stated land absorbs heat and heats up faster than water. So during the day the lighthouse farthest away from the water will be hotter. But then the converse is true also land losses heat faster than water at night. So the water retains the heat from the day better making the lighthouse by the water warmer at night.

timama [110]

Answer:

The transfer of heat by the movement of fluid is called Convection Heat Transfer

Explanation:

Heat transfer by convection is the transfer of heat by fluid transport from one place to another, such that convection takes place when the heat that comes in contact of fluid containing body is moved to other parts of the container by the transporting fluid

Heat is transferred within a fluid medium mainly by convection (movement of heat by the transfer of fluid particles in the medium)

Convection heat transfer is a combination of conduction and advection heat transfer

What is the total distance, side to side, that the top of the building moves during such an oscillation? The New England Merchan

kramer

I think the question should be the below:

What is the total distance, side to side, that the top of the building moves during such an oscillation?

Answer is the below:

Acceleration .. a = (-) ω² x 
(ω = equivalent ang. vel. = 2π.f) (x = displacement from equilibrium position) 

x (max) = a(max) /ω² 

x = (0.015 x 9.8m/s²) / (2π.f)² .. .. (0.147) / (2π*0.22)² .. .. ►x(max) = 0.077m .. (7.70cm)

Suppose that you can throw a projectile at a large enough v0 so that it can hit a target a distance R downrange. Given that you

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Theta1 = 12° and theta2 = 168°

The solution procedure can be found in the attachment below.

Explanation:

The Range is the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile. This diatance is given mathematically by Vo cos(theta) t. Where t is the total time of flight of the projectile in air. It is the time taken for the projectile to go from starting point to finish point. This solution assumes the projectile finishes uts motion on the same horizontal level as the starting point and as a result the vertical displacement is zero (no change in height).

In the solution as can be found below, the expression to calculate the range for any launch angle theta was first derived and then the required angles calculated from the equation by substituting the values of the the given quantities.
