Wave energy is actually a concentrated form of solar power generated by the action of the wind blowing across the surface of the oceans water which can then be used as a renewable source of energy. As the suns rays strike the Earth's atmosphere, they warm it up.

ANswer the question and give example: Can friction ever perform positive work?

Harman [31]

Yes. Think of block sitting on top of a bigger block. If the bottom block moves, it will drag the top block with it. Since the force of friction on the small block and its displacement are in the same direction, the "work" is positive. The static friction is a passive force, It is not a source of energy; it transmits the force placed on the bottom block. (And the "work" done by the friction on the bottom block is exactly the negative of the work done on the top block.)

What is the change in potential energy of a 2.00 nC test charge, Uelectric, b - Uelectric, a, as it is moved from point a at x

lyudmila [28]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

A uniform electric field of 2kN/C points in the +x-direction.

(a) What is the change in potential energy of a +2.00nC test charge, $U_{electric,b} - U_{electric,a}$ as it is moved from point a at x = -30.0 cm to point b at x = +50.0 cm?

(b) The same test charge is released from rest at point a. What is the kinetic energy when it passes through point b?

(c) If a negative charge instead of a positive charge were used in this problem, qualitatively, how would your answers change?

Answer: (a) ΔU = 3.2× $10^{-6}$ J

(b) KE = 2× $10^{-6}$ J

Explanation: Potential Energy (U) is the amount of work done due to its position or condition and its unit is Joule (J). Kinetic Energy (KE) is the ability to do work by virtue of velocity and the unit is also (J). Mechanical Energy is the sum of Potential and Kinetic Energies of a system.

(a) Related to electricity, Potential Energy can be calculated as:

ΔU = Eqd

where E is the electric field (in N/C);

q is the charge (in C);

d is the distance between plaques (in m);

For a at x = - 30cm and b at x = 50 cm:

E = 2× $10^{3}$ N/C

q = 2× $10^{-9}$ C

d = 50 - (-30) = 80× $10^{-2}$ = 8× $10^{-1}$ m

ΔU = $U_{electric,b} - U_{electric,a}$ = Eqd

$U_{electric,b} - U_{electric,a}$ = 2× $10^{3}$ . 2× $10^{-9}$ . 8× $10^{-1}$

ΔU = 3.2× $10^{-6}$ J

(b) Mechanical Energy is constant, so:

$KE_{i} + U_{i} = KE_{f} + U_{f}$

Since the initial position is zero and there is no initial kinetic energy:

$KE_{f} = - U{f}$

$KE_{f} =$ - (2× $10^{3}$ . 2× $10^{-9}$ . 5× $10^{-1}$ )

$KE_{f} = - 2.10^{-6}$ J

(c) If the charge is negative, electric field does positive work, which diminishes the potential energy. The charge flows from the negative side towards the positive side and stays, not doing anything.
