The particle, initially at rest, is acted upon only by the electric force and moves from point a to point b along the x-axis, increasing its kinetic energy by 1.44ã—10^(−18) j. in what direction and through what potential difference vb-va does the particle move? a. the particle moves to the left through a potential difference of vb-va = 0.500 v. b. the particle moves to the left through a potential difference of vb-va = -0.500 vc. the particle moves to the right through a potential difference of vb-va = 0.500 v. d. the particle moves to the right through a potential difference of vb-va = -0.500 v. e. the particle moves to the left through a potential difference of vb-va = 5.00 v. f. the particle moves to the right through a potential difference of vb-va = -5.00 v.

Iam looking for this answer too!

The rocks expand when there hot/warm  and contract when they are cold.

    m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)vmomentum is conserved.the left-hand side of the equation represents the momentum in the system before the collision.the right-hand side represents the momentum in the system after the collisionm₁ and v₁ represents the mass and the velocity of the physics blockm₂ and v₂ represents the mass and velocity of the ball of puttyv represents the final velocity of the combined mass.the question states the two masses stick together. they combined mass has its own velocity with the body mass the sum of the two objects' massestheir combined momentum is (m₁ + m₂)vto find the magitude of (m₁ + m₂)v, we need to add the vectors on the left-hand side of the equation: m₁v₁ + m₂v₂.note the diagram. i have positioned the vectors in accordance with their directions.the magnitude of the resultant can be calculated using the pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle situation (north and west are perpendicular)|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  √[ (m₁v₁)² + (m₂v₂)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  √[ (1.5kg·8.0m/s)² + (0.40kg·20m/s)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  14.4 kg m/sfor two significant figures (assuming that 20m/s is two), this rounds to 14 kg m/s
