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

andrey2020 [161]
Considering that the book is moving with constant speed, the force applied by Anna must be the same that the friction force:

F = F_R = F\cdot \mu_k\cdot N

If we clear the previous equation:

\mu_k = \frac{F}{F_R} = \frac{19.5\ N}{51.7\ N} = \bf 0.38

When the frequency of an ac circuit is decreased, the current in the circuit increases. which combination of elements is most li
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The combination of elements most likely to comprise the circuit are resistor, inductor and capacitor

Explanation:

The impedance of an LCR circuit shown as

     Z = √R² + (X↓l - X↓c)²

     Z​ = √R² + (2π∨L - 1/2π∨c)²

Variation of Z with respect to υ is shown in the figure.

As υ increases, Z decreases and so the current increases.

At υ = υ↓r

Z is minimum, current is maximum. Beyond

    υ = υ↓r

​Z increases and so current decreases.

so the combination of circuit elements that is most suitable to comprise

the circuit is R, L and C.

A 210 kg meteoroid is heading toward the earth accelerates by 2.4 × 105 m/s2.
lidiya [134]
According to Newton's second law of motion, Force is the product of mass and acceleration of the object.
So, F = m * a

Here, m = 210 Kg
a = 2.4 * 10⁵ m/s²

Substitute their values, 
F = 210 * 2.4 * 10⁵ N
F = 504 * 10⁵ N
F = 5.04 * 10⁷ N

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

Se lanza verticalmente una esfera con una rapidez de 30m/se. Determinar la rapidez de la esfera a una altura de 40m (g=10m/s2)
sergeinik [125]

v^2-{v_0}^2=2a(x-x_0)

dónde v es la velocidad de la esfera, v_0 es suya velocidad inicial, a=-g la aceleración debida a la gravedad, x la posición, y x_0 la posición inicial. Tomamos x_0=0\,\mathrm m a referirse a la posición de la esfera en el momento que la esfera fue lanzada.

Entonces

v^2-\left(30\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(-10\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(40\,\mathrm m)

\implies v^2=100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}\implies v=\pm10\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

Esto nos dice que la esfera alcanza una altura de 40 m en dos momentos - una vez hacia arriba y una vez hacia abajo. Sin embargo, independientemente del signo de la velocidad, sabemos que suya magnitud es 10 m/s, y así tenemos una rapidez de 10 m/s también en ambos momentos.
