s it possible for a system to have negative potential energy? Is it possible for a system to have negative potential energy? No,

because the kinetic energy of a system must equal its potential energy. Yes, as long as the total energy is positive. Yes, since the choice of the zero of potential energy is arbitrary. No, because this would have no physical meaning. Yes, as long as the kinetic energy is positive.

Answer: Yes it possible for a system to have negative potential energy, since the choice of the zero of potential energy is arbitrary.

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the energy present in an object due to its position.

Mathematically,   P.E = mgh

A potential energy can be negative also. This is because zero potential energy is arbitrary. For example, at the top of a building the choice of potential energy can be zero.

Therefore, the potential energy below the building will be negative.

An oil droplet is sprayed into a uniform electric field of adjustable magnitude. The 0.11 g droplet hovers
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The direction of the field is downward, and negatively charged particles will experience an upwards force due to the field.

F = N e E     where E is the value of the field and N e the charge Q

M g = N e E      and M g is the weight of the drop

N = M g / (e E)

N = 1.1E-4 * 9.8 / (1.6E-19 * 370) = 1.1 * 9.8 / (1.6 * 370) * E15 = 1.82E13

.00011 kg is a very large drop

Q = N e = M g / E = .00011 * 9.8 / 370 = 2.91E-6 Coulombs

Check:     N = Q / e = 2.91E-6 / 1.6E-19 = 1.82E13   electrons

10. A boat traveling at 9.5 m/s reduces its acceleration at a rate of 2.5 m/s2. What is the final speed of the boat
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

6.75m/s

Explanation:

using the second equation of motion, the time is calculated.

and with the formula a= (v - u)/t

where a is acceleration but in this case it's deceleration (and should be negated as you solve it ) .

v is final velocity

u is initial velocity

t is time taken

In the last part of the experiment you need to investigate the behaviour of gamma radiation as it passes through air. A gamma so
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

linear cart C Vs 1/R²  or log cart C Vs R

Explanation:

Gamma radiation is very high energy electromagnetic rays, but its behavior is the same as for all radiation. By the principle of conservation of energy after the radiation is emitted, it must be distributed on a spherical surface which determines the behavior of the inverse of the square.

In this experiment you are measuring the rate of counts by time (C), this must be the dependent variable since it is not controlled by the experimenter and on the other hand it measures the distance (X) this is the independent variable since it is the one that we can control.

To make a graph with this data, the counting rate must be plotted against the inverse of the squared distance (1/R²). On the Y axis the counts per second and the X 1 / R² axis, with this graph a line must be obtained.

Another graph that we can make on double logarithmic paper where the Y axis plotted the counting rate and on the X axis the distance, the slope should give -2.

            C == A / R²

        Log C = log A -2 log R

With either of the two graphs, the law of the inverse of the square is tested
