Answer: a) 127 eV; b) there is no change of kinetic energy.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the change of potentail energy ( conservative field) is equal to changes in kinetic energy. So for the proton ther move to lower potential then they gain kinetic energy from the electric field.  This means the electric force do work in this trayectory and then the protons increased changes its speed.

If we replace the proton by a electron we have a very different situaction, the electrons are located in a lower potental then  they can not move to higher potential  if any  external force does work on the system.

In resumem, the electrons do not move from a point with V=87 to other point with V=-40 V. The electric force point to high potential so the electrons  can not move to lower potential region (V=-40V).

A student discovers that sound waves travel 1,687.5 meters in 5 seconds through air at a temperature of 10°C. Based on this info
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The speed of sound, in m/s, through air at this temperature is 343.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

distance traveled by sound, d = 1,687.5 meters

time taken for the sound to travel, t = 5 seconds

air temperature, θ = 10°C

Speed of sound = distance traveled by sound / time taken for the sound to travel

Speed of sound = d / t

                           = 1687.5 m / 5 s

                           = 337.5 m/s

Speed of sound at the given temperature is calculated as;

c = 337.5 + 0.6θ

c = 337.5 + 0.6 x 10

c = 337.5 + 6

c = 343.5 m/s

Therefore, the speed of sound, in m/s, through air at this temperature is 343.5 m/s

How do you work out Potential Difference??? <br> Please can you make it simple :) <br> Thanks.
patriot [66]

Answer:

Potential difference is the work done in moving a positive test charge from infinity to the point in question.

Voltage is an expression of PD.   (Joules / Coulomb)

Say that a capacitor has a PD of 5 Volts. The work in moving a positive test charge from the positive plate to the negative plate is -5 Joules/Coulomb or -5 volt. (At the positive plate the positive test charge (1 Coulomb) already has a PD of + 5 Volts.)
