A mysterious constant force of 10 N acts horizontally on everything. The direction of the force is found to be always pointed toward a wall in a big hall. Find the potential energy of a particle due to this force when it is at a distance x from the wall, assuming the potential energy at the wall to be zero.

Potential in a charge distribution 3 points We have a sphere with diameter d = 7 m and charge density profile ρc(r) = Ar2ω where A = 6×10−8. The change in potential energy of a charge q = 5 mC moved from a radius of r = 2.3 m inside the sphere to the very edge of the sphere was found to be −25 J. Find the value of the constant ω. (Next three questions) We have a spherical ball in a vacuum with three layers: the center and outer layers have constant charge density ρ = 0.7 μC/m3 and the middle layer is a perfect conductor. We'll define zero potential, V = 0, at an infinite distance away from the sphere. The radii are a = 0.3 m, b = 0.7 m, and c = 1 m. Figure 3: Figure for Problems 9-11 Potential at purple dashed line 1 point (a) What is the potential at r = 0.4 m away from the center of the sphere (purple dashed line)? (number 10) Potential at yellow dashed line 1 point What is the potential at r = 0.85 m away from the center of the sphere (yellow dashed line)? (number 11) Potential at green dashed line 1 point What is the potential at r = 1.2 m away from the center of the sphere (green dashed line)?

The figure gives the potential energy U of a magnetic dipole in an external magnetic field B→, as a function of angle φ between the directions of B→ and the dipole moment. The vertical axis scale is set by Us = 1.9×10−4 J. The dipole can be rotated about an axle with negligible friction so as to change φ. Counterclockwise rotation from φ = 0 yields positive values of φ, and clockwise rotations yield negative values. The dipole is to be released at angle φ = 0 with a rotational kinetic energy of 5.9×10−4 J, so that it rotates counterclockwise. To what maximum value of φ will it rotate? Number Units

You attach one end of a spring with a force constant k = 813 N/m to a wall and the other end to a mass m = 2.62 kg and set the mass-spring system into oscillation on a horizontal frictionless surface as shown in the figure. To put the system into oscillation, you pull the block to a position xi = 7.36 cm from equilibrium and release it. (a) Determine the potential energy stored in the spring before the block is released. J (b) Determine the speed of the block as it passes through the equilibrium position. m/s (c) Determine the speed of the block when it is at a position xi/4. m/s
