Answer:

C. Potential energy is related to an object's position, and kinetic

Explanation:

The energy contained in the small motions of the object's molecules can be broken up into a combination of microscopic kinetic energy and potential energy.

A positively charged particle moves through an electric field. As part of a complicated trajectory, the particle passes through

kow [346]

Answer:

(B) The speed is larger at A than at B.

Explanation:

Point B, the final point of the trajectory, has higher electric potential than point A, the initial point of the trajectory, so the electric potential energy of the charged particle increases, which means that its kinetic energy must be decreasing, thus the speed at B must be lower than the speed at A.

A charge of Q is fixed in space. A second charge of q was first placed at a distance r1 away from Q. Then it was moved along a s

topjm [15]

Answer:

$\Delta U = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})$

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential energy is given by the following formula

$U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Now, we will apply this formula to both cases:

$U_1 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_1^2}\\U_2 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_2^2}$

So, the change in the potential energy is

$\Delta U = U_2 - U_1 = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})$

A flywheel turns through 40 rev as it slows from an angular speed of 1.5 rad/s to a stop.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

-0.0047 rad/s²

335.103 seconds

99.18 seconds

Explanation:

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 1.5 ra/s

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

$\theta$ = Angle of rotation = 40 rev

t = Time taken

Equation of rotational motion

$\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{0^2-1.5^2}{2\times 2\pi \times 40}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-0.0047\ rad/s^2$

Acceleration while slowing down is -0.0047 rad/s²

$t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-1.5}{-0.0047}\\\Rightarrow t=335.103\ s$

Time taken to slow down is 335.103 seconds

$\theta=\omega_it+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\Rightarrow 20\times 2\pi=1.5\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times -0.0047\times t^2\\\Rightarrow 0.00235t^2-1.5t+125.66=0$

Solving the equation

$t=\frac{-\left(-1.5\right)+\sqrt{\left(-1.5\right)^2-4\cdot \:0.00235\cdot \:125.66}}{2\cdot \:0.00235}, \frac{-\left(-1.5\right)-\sqrt{\left(-1.5\right)^2-4\cdot \:0.00235\cdot \:125.66}}{2\cdot \:0.00235}\\\Rightarrow t=539.11, 99.18\ s$

The time required for it to complete the first 20 is 99.18 seconds as 539.11>335.103

What is the relationship between elevation and energy

jasenka [17]

The Energy related to object motion.Potential energy most commonly refers to gravitational potential energy, which is energy associated with an object's elevation. For an object of mass m and elevation z, its potential energy is mgz where g is the gravitational constant .............. HOPE IT HELPS YOU :)
