Answer:
Potential difference is the work done in moving a positive test charge from infinity to the point in question.
Voltage is an expression of PD. (Joules / Coulomb)
Say that a capacitor has a PD of 5 Volts. The work in moving a positive test charge from the positive plate to the negative plate is -5 Joules/Coulomb or -5 volt. (At the positive plate the positive test charge (1 Coulomb) already has a PD of + 5 Volts.)
3 - b) weight decreases
4 -a) 50 kg as mass is same everywhere
5 - b) 200 dynes
Answer:
0.782 s
Explanation:
The water flows horizontally from the hose, so its initial vertical velocity is 0.
Given:
y₀ = 3 m
y = 0 m
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
Find: t
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
0 m = 3 m + (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²
t = 0.782 s
Round as needed.
The centripetal force, Fc, is calculated through the equation,
Fc = mv²/r
where m is the mass,v is the velocity, and r is the radius.
Substituting the known values,
Fc = (112 kg)(8.9 m/s)² / (15.5 m)
= 572.36 N
Therefore, the centripetal force of the bicyclist is approximately 572.36 N.
