Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector. The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are. It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes. If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity. So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:
W=Fd
Answer:
Neither.
Explanation:
When an electron is released from rest, in an uniform electric field, it will accelerate moving in a direction opposite to the field (as the field has the direction that it would take a positive test charge, and the electron carries a negative charge).
It will move towards a point with a higher potential, so its kinetic energy will increase, while its potential energy will decrease:
⇒ ΔK + ΔU = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔU = - (-e*ΔV)
As ΔV>0, we conclude that the electric potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases in the same proportion, in order to energy be conserved, in absence of non-conservative forces.
If Earth was twice as far from the sun, the force of gravity attracting the Earth to the sun would be only one-quarter as strong. The correct answer will be C.
No, gravity acts equally on all objects. The crumpled paper falls faster because it resists the drag force due to the atmosphere because of its compact size. A flat piece of paper has an extended body and "catches" the air and falls more slowly. In a vacuum they would fall at the same rate either way.
Its true hopefully this helps you.
