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

The valence electrons of metals are weakly attracted to the parent nuclei, so the electrons break free and float. The moving electrons form a electron <u>negative</u> blanket that binds the atomic <u>positive</u> nuclei together, forming a metallic bond.

So the answers are <u>{ Negative }</u> and <u>{ Positive }.</u>

Why would knowing the characteristics of circuits be important in designing electrical circuits?
blondinia [14]
The characteristic of a circuit actually indicate how the circuit functions. When one designs a circuit they have a specific function in mind and must know how to combine components in order to fulfill this functions.

PLS HELP<br><br> compare longitudinal and transverse waves
babymother [125]
<span>A transverse wave is one for which the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave whereas, for longitudinalwaves oscillations are in the direction of propagation. Ripples in pond water move about the surface of water and they simultaneously move away from the point-0 too.</span><span>
Longitudinal waves include sound waves(vibrations in pressure, particle of displacement, and particle velocity propagated in an elastic medium) and seismic P-waves (created by earthquakes and explosions). In longitudinal waves, the displacement of the medium is parallel to the propagation of thewave.

A sinusoidal transverse wave of amplitude ym = 8.4 cm and wavelength = 5.3 cm travels on a stretched cord. Find the ratio of the
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The ratio is 9.95

Solution:

As per the question:

Amplitude, y_{m} = 8.4\ cm

Wavelength, \lambda = 5.3\ cm

Now,

To calculate the ratio of the maximum particle speed to the speed of the wave:

For the maximum speed of the particle:

v_{m} = y_{m}\times \omega

where

\omega = 2\pi f = angular speed of the particle

Thus

v_{m} = 2\pi fy_{m}

Now,

The wave speed is given by:

v = f\lambda

Now,

The ratio is given by:

\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi fy_{m}}{f\lambda}

\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi \times 8.4}{5.3} = 9.95

Which explains upwelling in the oceans?
Leokris [45]

Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”

Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.

Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity.  Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.
