Chapter 21, Problem 1CQ
By moving a 10 nC charge from point A to point B, you determine that the electric potential at B is 150 V. What would be the potential at B if a 20 nC charge were moved from A to B?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The electric potential at B when 20 nC of charge was moved.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The electric potential at B when 20 nC of charge is moved is 150 V.
Explanation of Solution
The electric potential of a certain area does not depend on the test charge particle. Hence, the electric potential at B when 20 nC of charge is moved is 150 V itself.
Conclusion:
Hence, the electric potential at B when 20 nC of charge is moved is 150 V.

After a gust of wind, an orb weaver spider with a mass of 35 g, hanging on a strand of web of length L = .420 m, undergoes simple harmonic motion (SHO) with an amplitude A and period T.
If the spider climbs 12.0 cm up the web without perturbing the oscillation otherwise, what is the period of oscillation, in Hz to three significant figures?

An object of mass m = 8.10 kg is attached to an ideal spring and allowed to hang in the earth's gravitational field. The spring stretches 23.10 cm before it reaches its equilibrium position. The mass then undergoes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 10.5 cm.
Calculate the velocity of the mass in m/s at a time t= 1.00s to three significant figures.
