The particle, initially at rest, is acted upon only by the electric force and moves from point a to point b along the x axis, in
bezimeni [28]

1) Potential difference: 1 V

2) V_b-V_a = -1 V

Explanation:

1)

When a charge moves in an electric field, its electric potential energy is entirely converted into kinetic energy; this change in electric potential energy is given by

\Delta U=q\Delta V

where

q is the charge's magnitude

\Delta V is the potential difference between the initial and final position

In this problem, we have:

q=4.80\cdot 10^{-19}Cis the magnitude of the charge

\Delta U = 4.80\cdot 10^{-19}J is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

Therefore, the potential difference (in magnitude) is

\Delta V=\frac{\Delta U}{q}=\frac{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}=1 V

2)

Here we have to evaluate the direction of motion of the particle.

We have the following informations:

- The electric potential increases in the +x direction

- The particle is positively charged and moves from point a to b

Since the particle is positively charged, it means that it is moving from higher potential to lower potential (because a positive charge follows the direction of the electric field, so it moves away from the source of the field)

This means that the final position b of the charge is at lower potential than the initial position a; therefore, the potential difference must be negative:

V_b-V_a = - 1V

The tow spring on a car has a spring constant of 3,086 N / m and is initially stretched 18.00 cm by a 100.0 kg college student o
sdas [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The spring constant of the spring, k = 3086 N/m

The spring is stretched 18 cm or 0.18 m

Mass of the student, m = 100 kg

Potential energy of the spring, P_f=20\ J

To find,

The velocity of the car.

Solution,

It is a case of conservation of energy. The total energy of the system remains conserved. So,

P_i=K_f+P_f

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20

\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3086\times (0.18)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20

50-20=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

30=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{60}{100}}

v = 0.774 m/s

So, the velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.

A 110 V power line is protected by a 15 A fuse. What is the maximum number of 400 W lamps that can be simultaneously operated in
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Total number of lamps will be 4            

Explanation:

We have given power of the lamp W = 400 watt

Potential difference across the lamp V=110 volt

We know that power is equal to P=VI

So 400=110\times I

I=3.636A

Total current is given 15 A

As it is given that lamps are connected in parallel so total current is the sum of current through each lamp

So number of lamp will be n=\frac{15}{3.636}=4.125

As the lamp can not be in negative

So total number of lamps will be 4

A 15-kg block at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a very light ideal spring of force constant 450 N/m. T
den301095 [7]

Answer:

0.266 m

Explanation:

Assuming the lump of patty is 3 Kg then applying the principal of conservation of linear momentum,

P= mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is the speed of an object. In this case

m_pv_p=v_c(m_p+m_b) where sunscripts p and b represent putty and block respectively, c is common velocity.

Substituting the given values then

3*8=v(15+3)

V=24/18=1.33 m/s

The resultant kinetic energy is transferred to spring hence we apply the law of conservation of energy

0.5(m_p+m_b)v_c^{2}=0.5kx^{2} where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring. Substituting the given values then

(3+15)*1.33^{2}=450*x^{2}\\x\approx 0.266 m

Why doesn’t the moon fall toward the earth and smash into it?
yarga [219]

Gravity

The moon doesn't smash into the earth because the gravity from the earth keeps the moon in orbit around it.
