Vb - Va = -366.7 V.

Vab = Va - Vb, the potential of a with respect to b, is equal to the work done by the electric force when a unit of charge moves from a to b, it is given by:

Vab = Va - Vb = Wab/q,

So, in order to determinate the potential difference Vb - Va we have to multiply by -1 both side of the equation above:

- (Va - Vb) = - (Wab/q)

Resulting

Vb - Va = -(Wab/q)

Given a positive charge q = 6.0μC = 6.0x10⁻⁶C, Wab = 2.2x10⁻³J. Determine Vb - Va.

Vb - Va = - (2.2x10⁻³J/6.0x10⁻⁶C)

Vb - Va = -366.7 J/C = -366.7 V

A(n) 55.5 g ball is dropped from a height of 53.6 cm above a spring of negligible mass. The ball compresses the spring to a maxi
Serggg [28]

Answer:

The spring force constant is  k=243\ \frac{N}{m} .

Explanation:

We are told the mass of the ball is m=0.0555\ kg, the height above the spring where the ball is dropped is h=0.536\ m,  the length the ball compresses the spring is d=0.04897\ m and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8\ \frac{m}{s^{2}} .

We will consider the initial moment to be when the ball is dropped and the final moment to be when the ball stops, compressing the spring. We supose that there is no friction so the initial mechanical energy E_{mi} is equal to the final mechanical energy E_{mf} :

                                                    E_{mf}=E_{mi}

Initially there is only gravitational potential energy because the force of the spring isn't present and the speed is zero. In the final moment there is only elastic potential energy because the height is zero and the ball has stopped. So we have that:

                                                   \frac{1}{2}kd^{2}=mgh

If we manipulate the equation we have that:

                                                    k=\frac{2mgh}{d^{2} }

                                         k=\frac{2\ 0.0555\ kg\ 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}\ 0.536\ m}{(0.04897)^{2}m^{2}}

                                              k=\frac{0.58306\ \frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}}{2.398x10^{-3}m^{2}}

                                                     k=243\ \frac{N}{m}

What is a characteristic of a gas?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Gases have three characteristic properties: 1. they are easy to compress, 2. they expand to fill their containers, and 3.they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form. Compressibility. An internal combustion engine provides a good example of the ease with which gases can be compressed.

Kepler proposed the modern model of the solar system. <br> True or False
givi [52]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer, mathematician and astrologer. He proposed a model of the solar system which remains in use, with some modifications. Moreover, he developed the laws of planetary motion which explain how the planets move around the sun. This work was not only significant on its own, but it also provided the foundations for Newton's theory of universal gravitation.
