"A positively-charged particle is held at point A between two parallel metal plates. The plate on the left has a net positive ch

arge q and the plate on the right has a net negative charge -q. The particle is then moved to point B. How does the electric potential energy at point A compare with that at point B?

Answer:

Explanation

A positively charged particle produces a positive electric potential while a negatively

charged particle produces a negative electric potential.

Given two parallel plates one is positive and the other is negative and a positively charge particle is place at point A.

The electric potential V at point P is the algebraic sum of the electric potentials contributed by the two parallel plates charges

V=Kq1/r+ Kq2/r

Since q1 is positive and q2 is negative and they have the same magnitude q.

Then, at position A,

Let assume the total distance between the parallel plate is x

Then, the positive plate should be at distance 'a' from, the other is at x-a.

V= Kq/a-kq/(x-a)

V=kq(1/a-1/(x-a))

V=kq(x-a-a/a(x-a))

V=kq(x-2a)/(ax-a^2)

Then, at position B

Let assume the total distance between the parallel plate is x

Then, the positive plate should be at distance 'b' from, the other is at x-b.

V= Kq/b-kq/(x-b)

V=kq(1/b-1/(x-b))

V=kq(x-b-b/b(x-b))

V=kq(x-2b)/(bx-b^2)

Close to the positive plate, the

potential has very large positive values. Close to the negative charge, the potential has very large negative values.

They have different potential.

Aleks [24]

Answer: • using beaker tongs to handle the hot beaker.

• checking the beaker for chips prior to heating on the hot plate.

• Turning off the hot plate after use

Explanation:

The options that will ensure laboratory safety during the experiment will be:

• using beaker tongs to handle the hot beaker.

• checking the beaker for chips prior to heating on the hot plate.

• Turning off the hot plate after use.

We should note that the beaker tongs are simply used in the holding of the beakers that have hot liquids in them. Also, it s vital for the hot plate to be turned off after its use so as to prevent accident.

A quantity of a gas has an absolute pressure of 400 kPa and an absolute temperature of 110 degrees kelvin. When the temperature
shepuryov [24]

You can make sure there's no change in volume by keeping
your gas in a sealed jar with no leaks.  Then you can play with
the temperature and the pressure all you want, and you'll know
that the volume is constant.

For 'ideal' gases,

       (pressure) times (volume) is proportional to (temperature).

And if volume is constant, then

                 (pressure) is proportional to (temperature) .

So if you increase the temperature from 110K to 235K,
the pressure increases to  (235/110)  of where it started.

     (400 kPa) x (235/110)  =  854.55 kPa. (rounded)

Obviously, choice-b is the right one, but
I don't know where the .46 came from.

An airplane accelerates from rest to its required takeoff speed with an acceleration 5.0 m/s^2 after travelling on the runway a
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

.75 km = 750 m

acceleration a = 5 m/s²

distance s = 750 m

initial velocity u = 0

Final velocity v = ?

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2 x 5 x 750

v = 86.60 m /s.

Atoms are known to form charges due to their ability to gain and lose electrons in reactions. As a result, atoms
galben [10]

Answer:

C. Fe: 24 electrons

Explanation:

From the analogy given, the atom with a charge of +2 is Fe having 24 electrons.

To calculate the charges on an atom;

     Number of charges = Number of protons - Number of electrons.

   O: 10 electrons: 8 protons = 8 - 10 = -2

   N: 10 electrons; 7 protons = 7 - 10 = -3

   Cl: 18 electrons; 17 protons = 17 - 18 = -1

So;

    Fe: 24 electrons and 26 protons = 26 -24  = +2

Therefore, the solution is Fe
