Can a particle move in a direction of increasing electric potential, yet have its electric potential energy decrease? Explain

Physics
1 answer:
yan [13]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes , it is possible .

When a negative charge moves towards a positive charge , it is moving in the direction of increasing electrical potential . In the whole process , its electrical potential energy decreases and its kinetic energy increases .

Actually the potential energy of a negative charge near a positive charge is negative and it is inversely proportional to distance .

V = - Qq / R , When R decreases , the negative value of potential increases . That means potential energy decreases .

WILL GIVE BRAINLY!! PLEASE HELPP
LekaFEV [45]

The purpose of the machine is to leverage its mechanical advantage such that the force it outputs to move the heavy object is greater than the force required for you to input.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch! When you apply the conservation of energy, the work the machine does on the object will always be equal to (in an ideal machine) or less than the work you input to the machine.

This means that you will apply a lesser force for a longer distance so that the machine can supply a greater force on the object to push it a smaller distance. That is the trade-off of using the machine: it enables you to use a smaller force but at the cost of having to apply that smaller force for a greater distance.

The answer is: The work input required will equal the work output.

Why is cathode positive in leclanche cell??
laila [671]

Answer:

Because the zinc is reluctant

Explanation:

A leclanche cell contains a conducting solution (electrolyte) of ammonium chloride, a cathode (positive terminal) of carbon, a depolarizer of manganese dioxide (oxidizer), and an anode (negative terminal) of zinc (reductant).

As the Zn2+ ions move away from the anode, leaving their electrons on its surface,

Zn → Zn2+ + 2e−

the anode becomes more negatively charged than the cathode. When the cell is connected to an external electrical circuit, the excess electrons on the zinc anode flow through the circuit to the carbon rod, the movement of electrons forming an electric current.

In 1610, galileo used his telescope to discover four prominent moons around jupiter. their mean orbital radii a and periods t ar
katrin2010 [14]

Time period of any moon of Jupiter is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}

from above formula we can say that mass of Jupiter is given by

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

now for part a)

r = 4.22 * 10^8 m

T = 1.77 day = 152928 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (4.22 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(152928)^2}

M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg

Part B)

r = 6.71 * 10^8 m

T = 3.55 day = 306720 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (6.71 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(306720)^2}

M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg

Part c)

r = 10.7 * 10^8 m

T = 7.16 day = 618624 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (10.7 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(618624)^2}

M = 1.89* 10^{27} kg

PART D)

r = 18.8 * 10^8 m

T = 16.7 day = 1442880 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (18.8 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(1442880)^2}

M = 1.889* 10^{27} kg

What would happen if you place 2 Plane Mirrors parallel to each other?
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

No image will be observed.

Explanation:

Images that are created by mirrors are virtual images. This virtual image can only be seen by an observer. In this case, an infinite number of images or no image will be created here as both will be reflecting their own images. Light will continuously bounce back and forth reflecting the same image.
