Some students are discussing why a simple Atwood machine accelerates
Jane says that because of the unequal masses, gravity exerts a constant external torque on the two-mass and pulley system and thus its total angular momentum increases at a constant rate. Is Jane's explanation a valid one?
A charged particle (q = -8.0 mC), which moves in a region where the only force acting on the particle is an electric force, is released from rest at point A. At point B the kinetic energy of the particle is equal to 4.8 J. What is the electric potential difference VB - VA?
