Aparticle with a charge of -2.7 ? c and a mass of 3.8 x 10-6 kg is released from rest at point a and accelerates toward point b, arriving there with a speed of 36 m/s. the only force acting on the particle is the electric force. what is the potential difference vb - va between a and b? if vb is greater than va, then give the answer as a positive number. if vb is less than va, then give the answer as a negative number.

0.0018 V

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy gained by the particle is equal to the electric potential energy lost:

where

is the mass of the particle

is the final speed of the particle

q = -2.7 C is the charge

is the potential difference between the two points

Solving for , we find

The particle has been accelerated by this potential difference: since it is a negative charge, it means that the particle has moved from a point at lower potential towards a point of higher potential.

So, since the initial point is A and the final point is B, the result is

blue light is scattered in different directions by the tiny molecules of air. blue is scattered more than other colours because it has a shorter distance to travel which results in smaller waves. this is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
