You cause a particle to move from point A, where the electric potential is 11.3 V, to point B, where the electric potential is −

25.9 V. Calculate the change that occurs in the particle's electrostatic potential energy, when the particle is an electron, a proton, a neutral hydrogen atom, and a singly ionized helium atom (i.e., lacking one electron from its neutral state).

Explanation:

The electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit of charge

$V=\frac{U}{q}$

Using this definition, we can calculate the electrostatic potential energy change between point A and B:

$\Delta U=U_A-U_B\\\Delta U=qV_A-qV_B\\\Delta U=q(V_A-V_B)$

Electron: $q=-1.6*10^{-19}C$

$\Delta U=-1.6*10^{-19}C(11.3V+25.9V)\\\Delta U=-5.952*10^{-18}J$

Proton: $q=1.6*10^{-19}C$

$\Delta U=1.6*10^{-19}C(11.3V+25.9V)\\\Delta U=5.952*10^{-18}J$

Neutral hydrogen atom: $q=0$

$\Delta U=0$

Singly ionized helium atom: $q=1.6*10^{-19}C$

$\Delta U=1.6*10^{-19}C(11.3V+25.9V)\\\Delta U=5.952*10^{-18}J$

In a thunderstorm, electric charge builds up on the water droplets or ice crystals in a cloud. Thus, the charge can be considere

jolli1 [7]

1) 333.6 C

In order to have breakdown, the electric field at the surface of the cloud must be equal to the breakdown electric field:

$E=3.00\cdot 10^6 N/C$

The electric field strength at the surface of a charged sphere is given by

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{Q}{R^2}$

where

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} C^2/(N^2 m^2)$ is the vacuum permittivity

Q is the charge on the sphere

R is the radius of the sphere

Here we have a cloud of radius

$R = 1.00 km = 1000 m$

So we can re-arrange the previous equation in order to find the charge on the cloud:

$Q=4\pi \epsilon_0 ER^2=4\pi (8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(3.00\cdot 10^6)(1000)^2=333.6 C$

2) $2.08\cdot 10^{21}$ excess electrons

The total charge of the cloud must be (in magnitude)

Q = 333.3 C

We know that one electron carries a charge of

$e = 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C$

The total charge is just given by the charge of each electron multiplied by the number of excess electrons in the cloud:

$Q=Ne$

where

N is the number of excess electrons

Solving for N, we find:

$N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{333.3 C}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C}=2.08\cdot 10^{21}$

A particle is moving along the x-axis so that its position at any time t is greater than and equal to 0 is given by x(t)=2te^-t?

erastovalidia [21]

For speed you can differentiate the equation, for acceleration you can again differentiate the equation .
at t=0 the particle is slowing down , when you get equation for velocity put t=0 then only -1 is left

Two cars leave towns 800 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One car's rate is 18 kilometers per hou

vivado [14]

Answer:

speed of slower car is 71 km/h

Explanation:

The distance between two cars is given as

$d = 800 km$

time taken by two cars to meet is given as

$t = 5 hours$

now the relative speed of two cars is given as

$v_{rel} = \frac{d}{t}$

$v_1 + v_2 = \frac{800}{5} = 160 km/h$

also it is given that the difference of speed of two cars is

$v_1 - v_2 = 18 km/h$

now from above two equations we have

$v_1 = 89 km/h$

$v_2 = 71 km/h$
