Suppose the particle travels from point W to point Y along the path WXZY as shown
1. Compare the work done by the electric field when the particle travels from point W to point X to that done when the particle travels from point Z to point Y. Explain
What is the total work done on the particle by the electric field as it moves along the path WXZY?
2. Suppose the particle travels from W to Y along the arc shown. Is the work done on the particle by the electric field positive, negative, or zero? Explain using force and displacement vectors.
3. Suppose the particle travels along the straight path WY. Is the work done on the particle by the electric field positive, negative, or Zero? Explain using force and displacement vectors. (Hint: Compare the work done along the first half of the path to the work done along the second half.)

- 1.0 kg block of ice to melt in the kitchen. The temperature in the kitchen is 31 °C. The ice starts out at 0 °C and takes an hour to melt and reach the same temperature as the surrounding room (31 °C). How much heat does the 1.0 kg of ice/water absorb from the room as it melts and heats up to 31 °C in Joules absorbed? Latent heat of fusion for water/ice is 334,000 J/kg Specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg°Carrow_forward5.84 If the coefficient of static friction between a table and a uni- form, massive rope is μ, what fraction of the rope can hang over the edge of the table without the rope sliding? 5.97 Block A, with weight Figure P5.97 3w, slides down an inclined plane S of slope angle 36.9° at a constant speed while plank B, with weight w, rests on top of A. The plank is attached by a cord to the wall (Fig. P5.97). (a) Draw a diagram of all the forces acting on block A. (b) If the coefficient of kinetic friction is the same between A and B and between S and A, determine its value. 36.9° 1arrow_forwardNo chatgpt pls will upvotearrow_forward
