An electron is released form rest in a region of space where a uniform electric field is present. Joanna claims that its kinetic

and potential energies both increase as it moves from its initial position to its final position. Sonya claims that they both decrease. Which one, if either, is correct?
Joanna, because the electron moves opposite to the direction of the field
Sonya, because the electron moves opposite to the direction of the field.
Joanna, because the electron moves in the direction of the field.
Sonya, because the electron moves in the direction of the field.
Neither, because the kinetic energy increases while the electron moves to a point at a higher potential.

Answer:

Neither.

Explanation:

When an electron is released from rest, in an uniform electric field, it will accelerate moving in a direction opposite to the field (as the field has the direction that it would take a positive test charge, and the electron carries a negative charge).

It will move towards a point  with a higher potential, so its kinetic energy will increase, while its potential energy will decrease:

⇒ ΔK + ΔU = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔU = - (-e*ΔV)

As ΔV>0, we conclude that the electric potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases in the same proportion, in order to energy be conserved, in absence of non-conservative forces.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

The smallest possibility is 0.01E-22kgm/s

Explanation:

Using

Momentum= h/4πx

= 6.6x 10^-34Js/ 4(3.142* 50*10-12m)

= 0.01*10^-22kgm/s

A car travels at a constant velocity of 20.0 meters/second for 15 seconds. What is the power of the car if the initial force app
Zielflug [23.3K]
Work done by the force = Force x displacement. Power = work done/time = F.s/t = F.u.t/t = F.u = 95 x 20 = 1900J.                                                                                                                                                                                               {S=ut because acceleration is zero since car is moving at constant velocity}.

A doppler effect occurs when a source of sound moves. True or False
Shtirlitz [24]
<h2>Answer: True </h2>

The <u>Doppler effect</u> refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency when the emitter of the waves, and the receiver (or observer in the case of light) move relative to each other.

In other words, it is the variation of the frequency of a wave due to the relative movement of the source of the wave with respect to its receiver.

It should be noted that this effect  bears its name in honor of the Austrian physicist <u>Christian Andreas Doppler</u>, who in 1842 proposed the existence of this effect for the case of light in the stars. Another important aspect is that the effect occurs in all waves (including light and sound). However, it is more noticeable to humans with sound waves.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:Greenhouse effect

Explanation:

Short wavelength radiation from the sun passes through a  planet's atmosphere but some of the outgoing long-wavelength energy is absorbed and radiated again this process is known as Green house effect which increases the temperature of earth and as a result causes more to be trapped inside earth atmosphere.
