An electron at rest at P = (5,3,7) moves along a path ending at Q = (1, 1, 1) under the influence of the electric field (in newt

ons per coulomb)
F(x, y, z) = 400(x^2 + z^2)^-1 (x, 0, z).

a)Find a potential function for F

Answer:

a) \bf f(x,y,z)=200ln(x^2+z^2)

b) \bf 3.9819*10^{16}\;m/seg

Step-by-step explanation:

The electric field can be written as

\bf F(x,y,z)=(\displaystyle\frac{400x}{x^2+z^2},0,\displaystyle\frac{400z}{x^2+z^2})

a)Find a potential function for F

A potential function for F would be a function f such that

\bf \nabla f = F

That is, the gradient of f equals F.

If such a function exists then

\bf \displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}=\displaystyle\frac{400x}{x^2+z^2}\\\\\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}=0\\\\\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial z}=\displaystyle\frac{400z}{x^2+z^2}

Integrating the first equation with respect to x

\bf f(x,y,z)=\displaystyle\int\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}dx+h(y,z)

 

where h(y,z) is a function that does not depend on x. We have then

\bf f(x,y,z)=\displaystyle\int\displaystyle\frac{400x}{x^2+z^2}dx+h(y,z)=400\displaystyle\int\displaystyle\frac{x}{x^2+z^2}dx+h(y,z)=\\\\200ln(x^2+z^2)+h(y,z)

By taking the partial derivatives with respect y and z we can notice that h(z,y)=0.

Therefore, a potential function for F is

\bf \boxed{f(x,y,z)=200ln(x^2+z^2)}

b) What is the electron’s speed at the point Q?

Since F is conservative, the work done to move the particle from P to Q does not depend on the path, but only on the potential function f.

Let W be the work done when moving the particle from P to Q

W = f(Q) - f(P) = f(1,1,1) - f(5,3,7)

\bf W=200ln(1^2+1^2)-200ln(5^2+7^2)=-722.183583 joules

According to the law of conservation of energy, the work done to move the electron from P to Q equals the change in kinetic energy of the object.

Since the electron is at rest in P, the kinetic energy at P equals 0 and we have

\bf W=-\displaystyle\frac{m(v_Q)^2}{2}

where  

m = mass of an electron

\bf v_Q = speed at point Q

Replacing in the equation

\bf  -722.183583=-\displaystyle\frac{9.10938356*10^{-31}(v_Q)^2}{2}\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow v_Q=\sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{2*722.183583}{9.10938356*10^{-31}}}=3.9819*10^{16}\;m/seg

HELP PLEASE <br><br>must show work<br><br>​
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

a) 4x -y = 2; (1/2, 0), (0, -2)

b) 3x +y = 5; (5/3, 0), (0, 5)

c) 5x -y = -3; (-3/5, 0), (0, 3)

d) x -y = 7; (7, 0), (0, -7)

e) 8x +y = -12; (-3/2, 0), (0, -12)

Step-by-step explanation:

The form you have is ...

y = -Ax +C . . . . . where B = 1

You can simply rearrange the coefficients to get the form you want.

For (a), you can identify -A = 4, so A = -4, and C = -2. In the desired form, the equation is then ...

-4x +y = -2

"Standard form" requires the leading coefficient be positive, so you now need to multiply the entire equation by -1:

4x -y = 2

I suspect either of the above answers will satisfy your grader, but I like the latter form better. So, the answers below have the equation multiplied by -1 when A is negative to start with.

Since the given equation is already in slope-intercept form, the y-intercept is read directly from the equation as C.

The x-intercept is the value C/A, where you do need to pay attention to the signs.

Again, for (a), the y-intercept is already known to be -2; the x-intercept is ...

C/A = -2/-4 = 2/4 = 1/2.

___

a) A=-4, C=-2, x-intercept = C/A = -2/-4 = 1/2, y-intercept = C = -2. Equation in standard form is 4x -y = 2

__

b) A=3, C=5, x-intercept = C/A = 5/3, y-intercept = C = 5. Equation in standard form is 3x+y=5

__

c) A=-5, C=3, x-intercept = C/A = 3/-5 = -5/3, y-intercept = C = 3. Equation in standard form is 5x -y = -3

__

d) A=-1, C=-7, x-intercept = C/A = -7/-1 = 7, y-intercept = C = -7. Equation in standard form is x -y = 7

__

e) A=8, C=-12, x-intercept = C/A = -12/8 = -3/2, y-intercept = C = -12. Equation in standard form is 8x +y = -12
