Gravitational energy is a form of potential energy because it is dependent on the mass of an object and needs to be calculated for the specific object.

A moving particle encounters an external electric field that decreases its kinetic energy from 9520 eV to 7060 eV as the particl
Sati [7]

Given Information:

KEa = 9520 eV

KEb = 7060 eV

Electric potential = Va = -55 V

Electric potential = Vb = +27 V

Required Information:

Charge of the particle = q = ?

Answer:

Charge of the particle = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, we have

ΔKE = -qΔV

KEb - KEa = -q(Vb - Va)

-q = KEb - KEa/Vb - Va

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 - (-55)

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 + 55

-q = -2460/82

minus sign cancels out

q = 2460/82

Convert eV into Joules by multiplying it with 1.60x10⁻¹⁹

q = 2460(1.60x10⁻¹⁹)/82

q = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

In the graph, which region shows nonuniform positive acceleration?
cricket20 [7]

Answer: A.AB

Explanation:

This Velocity vs Time graph shows the acceleration of a body or object, since acceleration is the variation of velocity in time.

As we can see in the attached image, the graph can be divided in four segments:

OA: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a positive slope, hence we are dealing with a positive uniform acceleration.

AB: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since  in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be positive. This means the <u>acceleration is nonuniform and positive.</u>

BC: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since  in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be negative. This means the acceleration is nonuniform and negative.

CD: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a negative slope, hence we are dealing with a negative uniform acceleration.

From all these segments, the only one that fulfils the nonuniform positive acceleration condition is option A:

Segment AB

Can anyone help me with this question please​
JulsSmile [24]

Explanation:

V=u+at

where,

v=final speed

u=initial speed,(starting speed)

a=acceleration

t=time

  1. v=u+at = 6=2+a*2

6=2+2a

2a=6-2

2a=4

a=4/2 = 2

a =2

2. to find time taken

v=u+at

25=5*2t

2t=25-5

2t=20

t=20/2

t=10sec

3. finding final speed

v=u+at

v=4+10*2

=4+20

v=24m/sec

5.v=u+at

=5+8*10

=5+80

V=85m/sev

6. v=u+at

8=u+4*2

8=u+8

U=8/8

u=1

these are your missing values
