Noun

Wikipedia has an article on: Potential (physics)

Wikipedia potential (plural potentials)

  1. Currently unfulfilled capacity to improve, develop, and achieve impressive feats.
    Even from a young age it was clear that she had great musical potential.
  2. Anything that may be possible; a possibility; potentiality.
  3. (physics) In the theory of gravitation, or of other forces acting in space, a function of the rectangular coordinates which determine the position of a point, such that its differential coefficients with respect to the coordinates are equal to the components of the force at the point considered; -- also called potential function, or force function. It is called also Newtonian potential when the force is directed to a fixed center and is inversely as the square of the distance from the center.
  4. (physics) The energy of an electrical charge measured by its power to do work; hence, the degree of electrification as referred to some standard, as that of the earth; electro-motive force.
  5. (grammar) A verbal construction or form stating something is possible or probable.

OK, well I just experienced (from what I can tell) a graphics card crash or something. My screen went completely negative contrast and couldn't move.

What potential difference will cause the electrons to come to rest just as they reach the electrode?
Q. In a photoelectric effect experiment, shining ultraviolet light on a metal surface causes electrons to be ejected from the surface at a speed of 2.63 105 . The ejected electrons move toward an electrode located a few mm away. Applying a potential difference between the metal surface and the electrode causes the electrons to speed up or slow down.

A. you probably know that charge (q) times electric potential (v) equals kinetic energy. you also know that kinetic energy =1/2xM(Velocity)^2. set these two equal to eachether and plug in the values for an electron. ev=ke=.5xM(V)^2 1.6x10^-19c times (V)=.5x9.1x10^-31x(2.6x10 ^5)^2 Potential dif=.192volts I hope this helps! please check my math for small errors. I do assume that this is ignoring relativistic effects?

A. Rearrange the formula V=IR to get I=V/R V/R = 15/9.6 = 1.5625A

What is the potential energy and striking velocity?
Q. An impact tester has a weight of 45lbs, and the length of the pendulum arm is 32in. If the arm is horizontal before striking the specimen, what is the potential energy of the tester? and what is the striking velocity?
Asked by rochesmk - Sun Jan 25 18:11:30 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Forgive me but I have to change this to SI 45 lbs = 20.41 kg 32 in= 81.3 cm = 0.813 meters The amount it can go down is 0.813 meters. potential energy = mass*gravity accel * height potential energy= 20.41 kg* 9.81 m/s/s * 0.813 meters potential energy = 162.8 J Kinetic energy = 1/2 mass* velocity^2 The potential energy before equals the kinetic energy afterwords. KE= 1/2 (20.41) V^2 162.8= 1/2(20.41)v^2 solve for v an you get velocity= 3.99 m/s
