Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field = 5750 N/C

Charge q=+10.5\times10^{-6}\ C

Distance = 5.50 cm

(a). When the charge is moved in the positive x- direction

We need to calculate the change in electric potential energy

Using formula of electric potential energy

\Delta U=-W

\Delta U=-F\cdot d

\Delta U=-q(E\cdot d)

Put the value into the formula

\Delta U=-10.5\times10^{-6}\times5750\times5.50\times10^{-2}

\Delta U=-3.32\times10^{-3}\ J

The change in electric potential energy  is -3.32\times10^{-3}\ J

(b). When the charge is moved in the negative x- direction

We need to calculate the change in electric potential energy

Using formula of electric potential energy

\Delta U=-W

\Delta U=-F\cdot (-d)

\Delta U=-q(E\cdot (-d))

Put the value into the formula

\Delta U=-10.5\times10^{-6}\times5750\times(-5.50\times10^{-2})

\Delta U=3.32\times10^{-3}\ J

The change in electric potential energy  is 3.32\times10^{-3}\ J

Hence, This is the required solution.

the motion of a particle along a straight line is represented by the position versus time graph above. at which of the labeled p
atroni [7]

Point A has the largest magnitude of acceleration as compared to other points on the position verses time graph.

On the graph, A is the point where magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is greatest as compared to other positions on the graph because the height of point A is the largest as compared to other points of the graph.

The graph shows at which point acceleration of an object is higher and lower so we can conclude that point A has the largest magnitude of acceleration as compared to other points on the position verses time graph.
