A sled starts at rest with 51,450 J of potential energy. After traveling part of the way down the slope, the sled has 32,781 J o

f potential energy. If there is no friction, what is the kinetic energy of the sled?

Because of conservation of energy, ep is equal to ek.
at that point ep=ek
the kinetic energy would be 32,781J

There are two parallel conductive plates separated by a distance d and zero potential. Calculate the potential and electric fiel

taurus [48]

Answer:

The total electric potential at mid way due to 'q' is $\frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}d}$

The net Electric field at midway due to 'q' is 0.

Solution:

According to the question, the separation between two parallel plates, plate A and plate B (say) = d

The electric potential at a distance d due to 'Q' is:

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q}{d}$

Now, for the Electric potential for the two plates A and B at midway between the plates due to 'q':

For plate A,

$V_{A} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{\frac{d}{2}}$

Similar is the case with plate B:

$V_{B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{\frac{d}{2}}$

Since the electric potential is a scalar quantity, the net or total potential is given as the sum of the potential for the two plates:

$V_{total} = V_{A} + V_{B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.q(\frac{1}{\frac{d}{2}} + \frac{1}{\frac{d}{2}}$

$V_{total} = \frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}d}$

Now,

The Electric field due to charge Q at a distance is given by:

$\vec{E} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q}{d^{2}}$

Now, if the charge q is mid way between the field, then distance is $\frac{d}{2}$ .

Electric Field at plate A, $\vec{E_{A}}$ at midway due to charge q:

$\vec{E_{A}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}$

Similarly, for plate B:

$\vec{E_{B}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}$

Both the fields for plate A and B are due to charge 'q' and as such will be equal in magnitude with direction of fields opposite to each other and hence cancels out making net Electric field zero.

Two uncharged metal spheres, spaced 25.0 cm apart, have a capacitance of 26.0 pF. How much work would it take to move 12.0 nC of

viktelen [127]

Answer:

$W=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two spheres, r = 25 cm = 0.25 m

The capacitance, C = 26 pF = 26×10⁻¹² F

Charge, Q = 12 nC = 12 × 10⁻⁹ C

We need to find the work done in moving the charge. We know that, work done is given by :

$U=\dfrac{Q^2}{2C}$

Put all the values,

$U=\dfrac{(12\times 10^{-9})^2}{2\times 26\times 10^{-12}}\\\\U=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J$

So, the work done is $2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J$ .

Answer:

Energy flow is the flow of energy through living things within an ecosystem. All living organisms can be organized into producers and consumers, and those producers and consumers can further be organized into a food chain. Each of the levels within the food chain is a trophic level.

Radiation is energy that comes from a source and travels through space at the speed of light

Molecules must collide with sufficient energy, known as the activation energy, so that chemical bonds can break.
