1) Potential difference: 1 V

2) V_b-V_a = -1 V

Explanation:

1)

When a charge moves in an electric field, its electric potential energy is entirely converted into kinetic energy; this change in electric potential energy is given by

\Delta U=q\Delta V

where

q is the charge's magnitude

\Delta V is the potential difference between the initial and final position

In this problem, we have:

q=4.80\cdot 10^{-19}Cis the magnitude of the charge

\Delta U = 4.80\cdot 10^{-19}J is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

Therefore, the potential difference (in magnitude) is

\Delta V=\frac{\Delta U}{q}=\frac{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}=1 V

2)

Here we have to evaluate the direction of motion of the particle.

We have the following informations:

- The electric potential increases in the +x direction

- The particle is positively charged and moves from point a to b

Since the particle is positively charged, it means that it is moving from higher potential to lower potential (because a positive charge follows the direction of the electric field, so it moves away from the source of the field)

This means that the final position b of the charge is at lower potential than the initial position a; therefore, the potential difference must be negative:

V_b-V_a = - 1V

What is the velocity of a bicycle in meters per second if it travels 1 kilometer west in 4.1 minutes
valentinak56 [21]
1 kilometre is equal to 1000m
and 4.1 minutes is equal to 246 seconds
thus 1000/246 = 4.065 m/s
and the direction is towards the west

1. Which type of wire would be a better conductor of an electrical current?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1. a

2. b

3. b

Explanation:

1.

Resistance is the property of a conductor to offer resistance to the flow of current. The lower the resistance better is  the conductivity of wire.

We know that the resistance of a wire depends on several factor which are inter-connected by an equation as:

R=\rho.\frac{l}{a}

where:

R = resistance of the wire

l = length of the wire

a= cross sectional area of the wire  

from the above relation we observe that

R\propto l

R\propto \frac{1}{a}

  • Also when the temperature of the wire is significantly high then the lattice vibration cause obstruction in the path of the flowing charges and reduce the current flow.

2.

As the collision between the electrons and protons increases the speed of the flow of charges will decrease because the opposite charges attract each other and as we know that electrical current is the rate of flow of charge.

3.

Heating up of wire due to sunlight will cause lattice vibration in the conductor and will obstruct the movement of the charges which build up electric current, hence increasing the resistance of conductivity.

Acceleration increases over time once a force is applied to the object. Determine the acceleration at 3.5 sec? A) 3 m/s2 B) 6 m/
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: Acceleration does not increase over time once a force is applied to the object. It depends on the force and the object's mass. If those don't change, then the acceleration is constant.

Explanation:. F = M • a

We don't know either of those numbers, so we can't answer the question.
