The drawing shows a set of equipotential surfaces seen in cross-sections. Each is labeled according to its electric potential. A 3.4 x 10-7 C point charge is placed at position A. Find the work done on the point charge by the electric force when it is moved (a) from A to B, and (b) A to C.

In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 3.0-m-tall, 5.0-m-diameter hollow steel cylinder with their backs against the wall. the cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. then the floor on which the passengers are standing suddenly drops away! if all goes well, the passengers will “stick” to the wall and not slide. clothing has a static coefficient of friction against steel in the range 0.60 to 1.0 and a kinetic coefficient in the range 0.40 to 0.70. part a what is the minimum rotational frequency, in rpm, for which the ride is safe? express your answer using two significant figures. f f = rpm
