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.)

Select the correct answer.<br> Which type of energy is thermal energy a form of
elena-s [515]
Kinetic energy. thermal energy (a low form of energy ) is a form of kinetic energy as it is produced as a result of motion of particles either if they vibrate at their position or they move along longer paths. Motion produces friction or resistance which leads to excitation and thus the heat is produced. The higher the motion of the particles, the higher would be the thermal energy.

Please help me to do this problem
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

we got time and velocity over time.

so the distance is again the area underneath the graph

for a triangle with known base and height it's

4*10 / 2

distance traveled is 20

deceleration occurs when velocity decreases. that happens from t=2 till t=4

in 2 time-units we loose 10 units of velocity, so we decelerate by 5 units per 1 time

a (from t=2 to t=4) = -5v/t

Use Newton's second law of motion and a free-body diagram to...
timurjin [86]
Using the formula F = m*a. where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration you can use it for each. As long as there are no other forces towards the body in both cases :
F = m*a
F = 50*3
F = 150 N
