At the highest point:
potential energy is at its maximum
kinetic energy is zero
Answer:
<em>D. The total force on the particle with charge q is perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>
Explanation:
The image is shown below.
The force on the particle with charge q due to each charge Q = 
we designate this force as N
Since the charges form an equilateral triangle, then, the forces due to each particle with charge Q on the particle with charge q act at an angle of 60° below the horizontal x-axis.
Resolving the forces on the particle, we have
for the x-component
= N cosine 60° + (-N cosine 60°) = 0
for the y-component
= -f sine 60° + (-f sine 60) = -2N sine 60° = -2N(0.866) = -1.732N
The above indicates that there is no resultant force in the x-axis, since it is equal to zero ( = 0).
The total force is seen to act only in the y-axis, since it only has a y-component equivalent to 1.732 times the force due to each of the Q particles on q.
<em>The total force on the particle with charge q is therefore perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>
Answer:
-320 μJ.
Explanation:
Consider a point with an electrical charge of 
. Assume that 
is the electrical potential at the position of that charge. The electrical potential of that point charge will be equal to:
.
Keep in mind that since both and might not be positive, the size of the electrical potential energy might not be positive, either.
For this point charge,
; (that's -8.0 microjoules, which equals to 
)
.
Hence its electrical potential energy:
.
Why is this value negative? The electrical potential energy of a charge is equal to the work needed to bring that charge from infinitely far away all the way to its current position. Also, negative charges are attracted towards regions of high electrical potential. Bringing this 
negative charge to the origin will not require any external work. Instead, this process will release 320 μJ of energy. As a result, the electrical potential energy is a negative value.
Answer:
15 m/s^2 The first thing to calculate is the difference between the final and initial velocities. So 180 m/s - 120 m/s = 60 m/s So the plane changed velocity by a total of 60 m/s. Now divide that change in velocity by the amount of time taken to cause that change in velocity, giving 60 m/s / 4.0 s = 15.0 m/s^2 Since you only have 2 significaant figures, round the result to 2 significant figures giving 15 m/s^2
Explanation:
Answer:
Speed, mass and acceleration
Explanation:
A scalar quantity is a quantity that has only magnitude but no direction while a vector quantity has both magnitude and direction.
According to the question, the row that has two scalars and one vector is speed, mass and acceleration.
The two scalars in this row are speed and mass while the vector quantity there is the acceleration.
Acceleration has direction since it possess direction. A body accelerating will do so in a particular direction. Speed and mass doesn't possess any direction. Mass only specify the magnitude of the body but no clue as to which direction is the body moving towards.
Speed also only specify the
total distance covered with respect to time but not the direction of the direction.
