Answer: An equipotential surface must be perpendicular to the electric field at every point. The correct option is B.
Explanation: Equipotential surface is any surface over which the potential difference is constant. Examples include:
-The surface of a conductor in electrostatic field.
- surface of a liquid in equilibrium.
Equipotential surface are perpendicular to the electric field at every point because components of electric field intensity along the surface is zero ( this is because no work is done while moving a charge from one point to another on an equipotential surface).
Answer:
Kinetic energy would increase by a factor of 4 where as momentum would increase by a factor of 2.
Explanation:
Kinetic Energy is given by 0.5*mass*velocity^2. Kinetic Energy is proportional to Velocity^2.
Momentum is given by mass*velocity. Momentum is proportional to Velocity.
If the velocity of an object is doubled, Kinetic energy would increase by a factor of 2^2 i.e 4 times. Momentum would increase by a factor of 2.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the sum of the external torques on it must also be zero.
The net external force and the net external torque acting on the object have to be zero for an object to be in mechanical equilibrium.
Hence, the given statement is true.
Physics is known as the fundamentals of science, as all the branches of science, whether it is biology, chemistry, ecology, botany, environmental science, geology, geography, and more all follow the laws of physics, such as laws of thermodynamics, etc. Chemistry is existent because of physics due to the Conservation of mass. Once you get to a much deeper level of science, you will notice that all the fields of science start to blend together and all add up to one huge painting!
