Answer:
-5 V
Explanation:
The charged particle (which is positively charged) moves from point A to B, and its kinetic energy increases: it means that the particle is following the direction of the field, so its potential energy is decreasing (because it's been converted into potential energy), therefore it is moving from a point at higher potential (A) to a point at lower potential (B). This means that the value
vb−va
is negative.
We can calculate the potential difference between the two points by using the law of conservation of energy:
where:
is the change in kinetic energy of the particle
is the charge of the particle
is the potential difference
Re-arranging the equation, we can find the value of the potential difference:
Gravity is an attractive force that works to pull objects together. If 2 objects are close the gravitational pull will be stronger
Mass and distance determine gravity. The farther two things are away from each other, the weaker the gravitational forces are, the less mass an object has the less gravitational force it exerts
We don't know Carter, and we don't know where he is or what
he's doing, so I'm taking a big chance speculating on an answer.
I'm going to say that if Carter is pretty much just standing there,
or, let's say, lying on the ground taking a nap, then the force of
the ground acting on him is precisely exactly equal to his weight.
