Answer:

ΔU  = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

Explanation:

Since the electric potential at point 1 is V₁ = 33 V and the electric potential at point 2 is V₂ = 175 V, when the electron is accelerated from point 1 to point 2, there is a change in electric potential ΔV which is given by ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

ΔV = 175 V - 33 V.

ΔV = 142 V

The change in electric potential energy ΔU = eΔV = e(V₂ - V₁) where e = electron charge = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and ΔV = electric potential change from point 1 to point 2 = 142 V.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 142 V

ΔU = -227.484 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

ΔU = -2.27484 × 10⁻²¹ J

ΔU ≅ -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

So, the required equation for the electric potential energy change is

ΔU  = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

What is the difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot.

Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.

Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators.

Explain how thermal energy (temperature) affects chemical changes.
Monica [59]
If bonds are broken, the energy is released, and if bonds are formed, energy is absorbed. During conversions from chemical energy to thermal energy, the energy stored in the chemical bonds are released and this energy causes surrounding molecules to move faster thus increasing the thermal energy of a substance.

Kissa and Lily ran a race in gym class Lily was off balance so she did not start until 2 seconds had passed
Paul [167]
Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Tissa covered 60 meters in 10 seconds. Her average speed was

(60 m) / (10 sec) = 6 m/s.

That's the slope of the dotted line.

Lilly covered 60 meters in 8 seconds. Her average speed was

(60 m) / (8 sec) = 7.5 m/s .

That's the slope of the solid line.

Lilly covered the same distance in less time, and both girls
arrived at the finish line together. Technically, in science talk,
we would say that Lilly ran "faster", and her average speed
was "greater".

We can detect that by looking at the graph, because Lilly's line
has the characteristic of being "steeper", and we know that the
slope of the line on a distance/time graph is "speed".

In your own words describe the motion of convection currents?
Marysya12 [62]
Convection is the circular motion that occurs as hotter air or liquid increases when the cooler air or liquid drops down, and has faster moving molecules, rendering it less dense. Convection currents within the earth shift layers of magma, and currents are formed by convection in the ocean.
