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

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.

What is the impulse of a 3 kg object that starts from rest and moves to 20 m/s?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the product of the force applied on an object and the time at which it acts. It is also the change in the momentum of a body.

F = m a

F = m(\frac{v_{2}  - v_{1} }{t})

⇒     Ft = m(v_{2} - v_{1})

where: F is the dorce on the object, t is the time at which it acts, m is the mass of the object, v_{1} is its initialvelocity and v_{2} is the final velocity of the object.

Therefore,

impulse = Ft = m(v_{2} - v_{1})

From the question, m = 3kg, v_{1} = 0m/s and v_{2} = 20m/s.

So that,

Impulse = 3 (20 - 0)

             = 3(20)

             = 60Ns

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

A worker drops a wrench from the top of a tower 80m tall. What is the velocity when the
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

39.6 m/s

Explanation:

Taking down to be positive:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Δy = 80 m

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (9.8 m/s²) (80 m)

v = 39.6 m/s
