Speed is the distance traveled
                             time
but velocity is the change in distance

Speed and Velocity are similar with their only real differences being that Speed has to be positive, and Velocity is a vector, which means that it has to have direction and magnitude.

An electric dipole consisting of charges of magnitude 1.70 nC separated by 6.80 μm is in an electric field of strength 1160 N/C.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

p = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ C m     and  ΔU = 2.7 10 -11 J

Explanation:

The dipole moment of a dipole is the product of charges by distance

                        p = 2 a q

With 2a the distance between the charges and the magnitude of the charges

                        p = 1.7 10⁻⁹ 6.8 10⁻⁶

                        p = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ C m

 

The potential energie dipole  is described by the expression

                       U = - p E cos θ

Where θ is the angle between the dipole and the electric field, the zero value of the potential energy is located for when the dipole is perpendicular to the electric field line

Orientation parallel to the field

                      θ = 0º

                      U = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ 1160 cos 0

                      U1 = 1.35 10⁻¹¹ J

Antiparallel orientation

                       θ = 180º

                      cos 180 = -1

                      U2 = -1.35 10⁻¹¹ J

The difference in energy between these two configurations is the subtraction of the energies

                         ΔU = | U1 -U2 |

                         ΔU = 1.35 10-11 - (-1.35 10-11)

                         ΔU = 2.7 10 -11 J

Answer:

) pulls the ladder in the direction opposite

Explanation:

This is in line with lenz law that states that the magnetic field induced in a conductor act to oppose the magnetic field that produced it

A cycle track is 500 metres long. Amy completes 10 laps. She travelled at an average speed of 12.5 metres per second. She puts o
yanalaym [24]
The fast lap is irrelevant to the question, because it didn't happen
until after the 9 laps that you're interested in.

To be perfectly technical about it, we don't actually have enough
information to answer the question.  You told us her average speed
for 10 laps, but we don't know anything about how her speed may
have changed during the whole 10 laps.  For all we know, maybe
she took a nap first, and then got up and drove 10 laps at the speed
of 125 metres per second.  That would produce the average speed
of 12.5 metres per second and we would never know it  Why not ?
That's only 280 miles per hour.  Bikes can do that, can't they ?

IF we can assume that Amy maintained a totally steady pace through
the entire 10 laps, then we could say that her average for 9 laps was
also 12.5 metres per second.
