If a point has 40 J of energy and the electric potential is 8 V, the charge must be: A. 5 C

Given the following the details;

Energy = 40 Joules

Electric potential = 8 Volts

To find the quantity of charge;

Mathematically, the quantity of charge with respect to electric potential is given by the formula;

$Quantity \; of \; charge = \frac{Energy}{Electric \; potential}$

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

$Quantity \; of \; charge = \frac{40}{8}$

Quantity of charge = 5 Coulombs

Therefore, the quantity of charge must be 5 Coulombs.

Energy=E=40J
Potential difference=V=8V
Charge=Q

$\boxed{\sf E=QV}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Q=\dfrac{E}{V}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Q=\dfrac{40}{8}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Q=5C$

Hence total charge must be 5C.

Note:-

SI unit of charge is Coulomb (C)

How are electromagnetic waves different from all other waves

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.

Josh did an experiment recording the changes in temperature in sand and water when exposed to a light source, and then when the

Marrrta [24]

Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .

The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised from T to T'.

Hence specific heat of a substance is calculated as-

$c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}$

Here c is the specific heat capacity.

The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.

As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.

From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.

This equation will be balanced if the x is a 2 because there are two sodiums on the reactants sides so there must be two sodiums on the products side

Hope this helps

At an altitude of 5000 m the rocket's acceleration has increased to 6.9 m/s2 . What mass of fuel has it burned?

sergey [27]

1) Initial upward acceleration: $6.0 m/s^2$

2) Mass of burned fuel: $0.10\cdot 10^4 kg$

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the rocket at the beginning:

- The force of gravity, of magnitude $F_g = mg$ , in the downward direction, where

$m=1.9\cdot 10^4 kg$ is the rocket's mass

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

- The thrust of the motor, T, in the upward direction, of magnitude

$T=3.0\cdot 10^5 N$

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on the rocket must be equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration, so we can write:

$T-mg=ma$ (1)
