For a point charge, how does the potential vary with distance from the point charge, r?

a constant

b. r.

c. 1/r.

d. 1/r^2.

e. r^2.

Answer:

The  correct option is  C

Explanation:

Generally for a point charge the electric potential is mathematically represented as

    V  =  \frac{k  Q  }{r }

Here we can deduce that the electric potential varies inversely with the distance i.e

      V  \  \alpha \  \frac{1}{r}

So

The temperature of 2.0 g of helium is increased at constant volume by ΔT. What mass of oxygen can have its temperature increased
gavmur [86]

Answer:

m = 9.6 g

Explanation:

Thermal energy given to helium gas at constant volume is given as

Q = nC_v \Delta T

so here we have

C_v = \frac{3}{2}R

n = moles

n = \frac{2}{4} = 0.5

so we have

Q = \frac{3}{2}R(0.5)\Delta T

now we know that

for oxygen gas we have

C_v = \frac{5}{2}R

for same amount of heat we have

Q = nC_v \Delta T'

\frac{3}{2}R(0.5)\Delta T = \frac{m}{32} (\frac{5R}{2}) \Delta T

m = \frac{0.75 \times 32}{2.5}

m = 9.6 g

A 150 g egg is dropped from 3.0 meters. The egg is moving at 4.4 m/s right before it hits the ground. The egg comes to a stop in
algol [13]

Answer: Magnitude of the force exerted on the egg by the ground is 9.2N

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of egg (m) = 150g = 0.15kg

Height(h) from which egg is dropped = 3m

velocity of egg before hitting the ground (u) = 4.4m/s

Final velocity of egg (V) = 0

Time taken (t) = 0.072s

Magnitude of the force exerted on the egg by the ground can be found by applying Newton's 2nd law:

Momentum = mass × velocity

From Newton's second law:

Force = mass × change in Velocity with time ;

That is

F = m * ΔV / t

Inputting our values

F = 0.15 * (4.4 - 0) / 0.072

F = 0.15 × (4.4 / 0.072)

F = 0.15 × 61.11

F = 9.16N

F = 9.2N

2. Kevin works as a janitor, and he is pushing a fully-
dybincka [34]

The time taken for him to move the bin 6.5 m is 2.30 s.

The given parameters;

  • <em>weight of the load, w = 557 N</em>
  • <em>force applied , F = 410 N</em>
  • <em>angle of force, =  15°</em>
  • <em>coefficient of kinetic friction  = 0.46</em>
  • <em>distance moved, d = 6.5 m</em>

The net horizontal force on the recycling bin is calculated as follows;

Fcos\theta - F_k = ma

where;

  • <em>m is the mass of the recycling bin</em>
  • <em />F_k<em> is the frictional force </em>

W = mg

557 = 9.8m\\\\m = \frac{557}{9.8} \\\\m = 56.84 \ kg

The net horizontal force on the recycling bin is calculated as;

Fcos \theta - F_k = ma\\\\Fcos\theta - \mu_kF_n  = ma\\\\410\times cos(15) \ - \ 0.46(557) = 56.84 a\\\\139.8 = 56.84a\\\\a = \frac{139.8}{56.84} \\\\a = 2.46 \ m/s^2

The time taken for him to move the bin 6.5 m is calculated as follows;

s = v_0t + \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\6.5 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}  \times 2.46\times t^2\\\\6.5 = 1.23 t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{6.5 }{1.23} \\\\t^2 = 5.285\\\\t = \sqrt{5.285} \\\\t = 2.30 \ s

Thus, the time taken for him to move the bin 6.5 m is 2.30 s.

If velocity is decreasing,then acceleration:
ziro4ka [17]
If velocity is decreasing, then acceleration is in the direction
opposite to the velocity.

If the object is moving in the direction that you call 'positive',
then acceleration is negative.
