The change in potential along a path from C to D due to a small charged sphere is 900 V.
Given:
Charge, Q = 3 nC = 3 × 10⁻⁹ C
Distance between the sphere and point C, r₁ = 0.02 m
Distance between the sphere and point D, r₂ = 0.06 m
Calculation:
We know that the electric potential is given as:
V = k Q/r - (1)
where, V is the electric potential
k is Coulomb's force constant
Qis the charge on the sphere
r is the separation distance
The electric potential at point C due to charged sphere can be given as:
V₁ = k Q/r₁
= (9×10⁹ Nm²/C²) [(3 × 10⁻⁹ C)/(0.02 m)]
= 1350 V
The electric potential at point D due to charged sphere can be given as:
V₂ = k Q/r₂
= (9×10⁹ Nm²/C²) [(3 × 10⁻⁹ C)/(0.06 m)]
= 450 V
Now, the change in potential along the path from C to D can be calculated as:
ΔV = V₂ - V₁
= 450 V - 1350 V
= -900 V
The negative sign indicates that the work is done against the electric field in moving the charge from C to D.
Therefore, the change in potential along a path from C to D is 900 V against the direction of the electric field.

Answer: -31.36 m/s
Explanation:
This is a problem of motion in one direction (specifically vertical motion), and the equation that best fulfills this approach is:
(1)
Where:
is the final velocity of the supply bag
is the initial velocity of the supply bag (we know it is zero because we are told it was "dropped", this means it goes to ground in free fall)
is the acceleration due gravity (the negtive sign indicates the gravity is downwards, in the direction of the center of the Earth)
is the time
Knowing this, let's solve (1):
(2)
Finally:
Note the negative sign is because the direction of the bag is downwards as well.
