Answer:
- No, this doesn't mean the electric potential equals zero.
Explanation:
In electrostatics, the electric field is related to the gradient of the electric potential V with :
This means that for constant electric potential the electric field must be zero:
This is not the only case in which we would find an zero electric field, as, any scalar field with gradient zero will give an zero electric field. For example:
give an electric field of zero at point (0,0,0)
Answer:
Explanation:
Given height of lamp from the ceiling = 2.6m
mass of the lamp = 3.8kg
acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²
As the body falls to the ground, it falls under the influence of gravity.
Gravitational potential energy = mass*acc due to gravity * height
Gravitational potential energy = 3.8*2.6*9.81
Gravitational potential energy = 96.923 Joules
b) Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²
m = mass of the body (in kg)
v = velocity of the body (in m/s²)
To get the velocity v, we will use the equation of motion
Since mass = 3.8kg
c) To know how fast the lamp is moving when it hits the ground, we will use the formula. When the body hits the ground, the height covered will be 0m. this means that the body is not moving once it hits the ground. It stays in one position. The energy possessed by the body at this point is potential energy. The correct answer is therefore 0 m/s
