3 GM2 (5) The gravitational potential of a uniform-density sphere of mass M and radius R is E,-- Consider a white dwarf star which contains N electrons whose Fermi energy is Es. Since kaT <<Ef, the average electron energy is 3/5Er (derived in assignment 1) and the total electron energy is Ed-3/5NEs. The energies of the nuclei can be neglected.

1- For a uniform electric field, how is the electric potential energy similar to the gravitational potential energy in a uniform gravitational? 2-If a positive charge and a negative charge moving the same way in an electric field have the same change in electric potential energy? 3-For a positive charge moving in an electric field, which direction of motion will cause the electric potential energy to increase? Decrease? Stay constant? 4-How would the answers to the previous question be different...

3. Potential energy of rings. You know that the gravitational potential energy of two interacting spherical masses (e g. Earth and Sun) s u--GMm, where r distance between their centers. If the masses are not spherical, this expression is not valid. However, we can still find the total potential energy by dividing the non-spherical mass into bits, treating each tiny bit as a point mass (which gravitates like a sphere), and adding their effects. That is, U-J -GMdm. This integral...
Determine values for translational kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, and total energy at 0 m, 0.2 m, and 0.4 m above the release point for a 2 kg object pulled 0.2 m downward from the equilibrium position and released from rest while attached to the end of a vertical spring with k = 50 N/m. Be aware that the spring is stretched at the release position and at the equilibrium position so you will have to use...
