In the rectangle of the figure the sides have lengths 6.02 cm and 17.0 cm, q1 = −4.54 μC, and q2 = +1.68 μC. With V = 0 at infinity, what is the electric potential at (a) corner A and (b) corner B? (c) How much work is required to move a charge q3 = +3.42 μC from B to A along a diagonal of the rectangle? (d) Does this work increase or decrease the electric potential energy of the three-charge system? Is more, less, or the same work required if q3 is moved along a path that is (e) inside the rectangle but not on a diagonal and (f) outside the rectangle? (a) (b) Units (c) Units (d) (e) (f)

In the figure, a small block of mass m = 0.015 kg can slide along the frictionless loop-the-loop, with loop radius R = 17 cm. The block is released from rest at point P, at height h = 7R above the bottom of the loop. How much work does the gravitational force do on the block as the block travels from point P to (a) point Q and (b) the top of the loop? If the gravitational potential energy of the block-Earth system is taken to be zero at the bottom of the loop, what is that potential energy when the block is (c) at point P, (d) at point Q, and (e) at the top of the loop?

Ornithologists have determined that some species of birds tend to avoid flights over large bodies of water during daylight hours. It is believed that more energy is required to fly over water than land because air generally rises over land and falls over water during the day. (i) A bird with these tendencies is released from an island that is 3 km from the nearest point B on a straight shoreline, flies to a point C on the shoreline, and then flies along the shoreline to its nesting area D. Points B and D are 10 km apart. Assume that the bird instinctively chooses a path that will minimize its energy expenditure. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) In general, if it takes 1.2 times as much energy to fly over water as land, to what point C should the bird fly in order to minimize the total energy expended in returning to its nesting area? km from B (b) Let W and L denote the energy (in joules) per kilometer flown over water and land, respectively. Assuming the bird's energy expenditure is minimized, determine a function for the ratio WL in terms of x, the distance from B to C. W/L = (c) What should the value of W/L be in order for the bird to fly directly to its nesting area D? (d) If the ornithologists observe that birds of a certain species reach the shore at a point 2 km from B, how many times more energy does it take a bird to fly over water than land?
