an electron is released from rest in a region of space with a nonzero electric field.1. As the electron moves, does the electric

zvonat [6]

Answer:

1. a. increase

2. Because the electron has a negative charge its electric potential energy does not decrease as one might expect, but increases instead.

Explanation:

Lets first consider the relation between the electric field and electric potential.

E = -ΔV/Δs

As this equation indicates that the electric field is due to the change in potential and change in the the position of charge. Electric field is directed towards the decreasing potential and the electron moves in the opposite direction of the electric field where potential increases. Thats why the best explanation is that the electron has a negative charge it moves towards the positive region where the electric potential energy increases.

__________ are seismic waves that pass through the earth's interior, spreading out from the focus in all directions.

Rufina [12.5K]

In geology, <span>seismic waves that pass through the earth's interior are called body waves, as opposed to surface waves, which travel near the earth's surface. Body waves can be of two types: P-waves (primary), the fastest, and S-waves (secondary), which are slower.</span>

If a driver is tired, the thinking distance will be less. True or false.why?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

When a driver is impaired the brain will need an extra second or two to wake up, after it does wake up it tends to drift off regularly.

A bucket that has a mass of 20 kg when filled with sand needs to be lifted to the top of a 15 meter tall building. You have a ro

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building,

W=67.46 Nm

Explanation:

in this question we have given

mass of bucket=20kg

mass of rope= $.2\frac{kg}{m}$

height of building= 15 meter

We have to find the work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the building =work done in lifting the rope + work done in lifting the sand

work done in lifting the rope is given as, $W_{1}=Force \times displacement$

= $\int\limits^{15}_0 {.2x} \, dx$ ..............(1)

= $.1\times 15^2$

=22.5 Nm

work done in lifting the sand is given as, $W_{2}=Force \times displacement$

$W_{2}=\int\limits^{15}_0 F \, dx$ .................(2)

Here,

F=mx+c

here,

c=20-18

c=2

m= $\frac{20-18}{15-0}$

m=.133

Therefore,

$F=.133x+2$

Put value of F in equation 2

$W_{2}=\int\limits^{15}_0 (.133x+2) \, dx$

$W_{2}=.133 \times 112.5+2\times15\\W_{2}=14.96+30\\W_{2}=44.96 Nm$

Therefore,

work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building, $W=W_{1}+W_{2}$

W=22.5 Nm+44.96 Nm

W=67.46 Nm

suppose an electrically charged ruler transfers some of its charge by contact to a tiny plastic sphere. will the ruler and the s

poizon [28]

Answer:

Here ball and rod will repel each other as they are of similar charges

Explanation:

As we know that the two charges attract or repel each other by electrostatic force

This force is given as

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

so we know if two charges are similar in nature then they will repel each other and if the two charges are opposite in nature then they will attract each other

So here when rod touch the ball then it transfer its charge to the ball and due to similar charges in ball and rod they both repel each other
