Answer:
a) W = - 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J, b) U = + 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J
Explanation:
a) work is defined by
W = F . x
the bold letters indicate vectors, in this case the force is electric
F = q E
we substitute
F = q E x
the charge of the electron is
q = - e
F = - e E x
let's calculate
W = - 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 365 3 10⁻²
W = - 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J
b) the change in potential energy is
U = q ΔV
the potential difference is
ΔV = - E. Δs
we substitute
U = - q E Δs
the charge of the electron is
q = - e
U = e E Δs
we calculate
U = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 365 3 10⁻²
U = + 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J
Answer:
change in y = -7
change in x = -17
magnitude of displacement = sqrt(7^2+17^2)
tan of angle below -x axis = 7/17
because in third quadrant where x and y are negative
Answer:
The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN
Explanation:
Mass of rock = 25 kg
Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²
Height = 42 m
Potential energy, PE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.
PE = 25 x 10 x 42 = 10500 N = 10.5 kN
The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN
