Find potential energy of a particle

AI Thread Summary
A 0.40 kg particle experiences a conservative force, starting with a potential energy of +40 J at point A and a speed of 10 m/s. As it moves to point B, the force performs +25 J of work on the particle. To find the potential energy at point B, one must understand the relationship between work, energy, and conservative forces. The forum emphasizes the importance of demonstrating some effort in solving the problem before receiving assistance. Clarification on concepts like "conservative energy" and the distinction between work and energy is also sought.

can anyone help me in this please .. I'm having difficulity in this physix course

a 0.40 kg particle moves under the influence of a single conservation force. at point A where the particle has a speed of 10 m/s , the potential energy associated with the conservative force is +40 J. as the particle moves from A to B, the force does +25 J of work on the particle. what is the value of the potential energy at point B ?

Welcome to Physics Forums.

We are more than happy to help you, but as per the forum guidelines, you need to show some effort in solving the problem yourself before we can help you.

What have you tried so far?
 
the problem is i don't know what does " conservative energy" mean .. and I don't know the difference between work and energy :S

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
