What is the magnitude of the electric field in a region where the potential is given by the expression V = ax2 + b where a = −50

0 V/m2 and b = 135 V? (Substitute numerical values, and express your answer in terms of x. Assume SI units, but do not include units in your answer.)

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The equation of the electric field (E) is given by;

E = -1000x

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The electric field (E) is the gradient of the potential difference (V) in the direction of x between two points. i.e

E = \frac{dV}{dx}           ----------------------(i)

From the question;

V = ax² + b            ---------------(ii)

Find the gradient of equation (ii) by taking derivative of both sides with respect to x as follows;

\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{d(ax^{2} + b)}{dx}

\frac{dV}{dx} = 2ax               ----------------------(iii)

Substitute \frac{dV}{dx} = 2ax into equation (i) as follows;

E = 2ax                --------------------------(iv)

Now, substitute the value of a = -500 into equation (iv) as follows;

E = 2(-500)x

E = -1000x

Therefore, the equation of the electric field (E) is given by;

E = -1000x

Answer:

E = 1000 x

Explanation:

The electric potential and the electric field are related by the formula

        dV = - E . dx

Bold represents vectors.

The point represents the scalar product, in this case we calculate the electric field in the x-axis and the potential is also in this axis so the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

        E = dV /dx

Let's make the derivative

        E = - 2ax

Let's replace the values

        E = -2 (-500) x

        E = 1000 x

Which of the following represents the greatest energy transition from a higher energy level to a lower one?
prohojiy [21]
You need to use Planck's law:
E = h·υ = (h·c)/λ

Without making all the calculations, a fraction is bigger than another when the denominator is smaller. Therefore you need to find the smallest wavelength (λ) which is 450nm.

You could also be helped by colors: in order of decreasing energy, you have blue - green - yellow - red.

In any case, the correct answer is a).

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 53.0 cm . The explorer finds that
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

12.4 m/s²

Explanation:

L = length of the simple pendulum = 53 cm = 0.53 m

n = Number of full swing cycles = 99.0

t = Total time taken = 128 s

T = Time period of the pendulum

g = magnitude of gravitational acceleration on the planet

Time period of the pendulum is given as

T = \frac{t}{n}

T = \frac{128}{99}

T = 1.3 sec

Time period of the pendulum is also given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

1.3 = 2(3.14) \sqrt{\frac{0.53}{g}}

g = 12.4 m/s²

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The basic construction, unchanged since Torricelli's experiment in 1643, is a glass tube about three feet long, closed at one end, filled with mercury, and inverted with the open end immersed in a cistern of mercury.
