Answer:
The potential difference between points A and B is 278.95 volts.
The potential difference between points B and C is -642.10 volts.
The potential difference between points A and C is -363.15 volts.
Explanation:
Given :
Charge of the particle, q = 19 nC = 19 x 10⁻⁹ C
Work is done to move a charge from point A to B, W₁ = 5.3 μJ
Work done to move a charge from point B to C, W₂ = -12.2 μJ
Let V₁ be the potential difference between point A and B, V₂ be the potential difference between point B and C and V₃ be the potential difference between point A and C.
The relation between work done and potential difference is:
W = qV
V = W/q ....(1)
Using equation (1), the potential difference between points A and B is:
Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.
V₁ = 278.95 V
Using equation (1), the potential difference between points B and C is:
Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.
V₂ = -642.10 V
The potential difference between points A and C is:
V₃ = V₁ + V₂
V₃ = 278.95 - 642.10
V₃ = -363.15 V

Question:
A 0.5 kg mass moves 40 centimeters up the incline shown in the figure below. The vertical height of the incline is 7 centimeters.
What is the change in the potential energy (in Joules) of the mass as it goes up the incline?
If a force of 1.0 N pulled up and parallel to the surface of the incline is required to raise the mass back to the top of the incline, how much work is done by that force?
Given Information:
Mass = m = 0.5 kg
Horizontal distance = d = 40 cm = 0.4 m
Vertical distance = h = 7 cm = 0.07 m
Normal force = Fn = 1 N
Required Information:
Potential energy = PE = ?
Work done = W = ?
Answer:
Potential energy = 0.343 Joules
Work done = 0.39 N.m
Explanation:
The potential energy is given by
PE = mgh
where m is the mass of the object, h is the vertical distance and g is the gravitational acceleration.
PE = 0.5*9.8*0.07
PE = 0.343 Joules
As you can see in the attached image
sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse
sinθ = 0.07/0.4
θ = sin⁻¹(0.07/0.4)
θ = 10.078°
The horizontal component of the normal force is given by
Fx = Fncos(θ)
Fx = 1*cos(10.078)
Fx = 0.984 N
Work done is given by
W = Fxd
where d is the horizontal distance
W = 0.984*0.4
W = 0.39 N.m
