The electric potential energy of the pair of charges when the second charge is at point b is 7.3 x 10⁻⁸ J.

<h3>Electric potential energy</h3>

When work is done on a positive test charge to move it from one location to another, potential energy increases and electric potential increases.

The electric potential energy between the charges when the second charge is at point b is calculated as follows;

ΔU = -w

Ui - Uf = w

Uf = Ui - w

where;

Uf is the final potential energy

Ui is the initial potential energy

w is the work done by the force

Uf = 5.4 x 10⁻⁸ J - (-1.9 x 10⁻⁸J)

Uf = 5.4 x 10⁻⁸ J + 1.9 x 10⁻⁸ J

Uf = 7.3 x 10⁻⁸ J

Thus, the electric potential energy of the pair of charges when the second charge is at point b is 7.3 x 10⁻⁸ J.

Basketball player Darrell Griffith is on record as
Gre4nikov [31]

Explanation:

1.

We use the equation

h = \frac{gt^2}{2}, where

h is the height traveled,

g is the acceleration due to gravity and

t is the time taken to reach height h.

We can now calculate t to be

\sqrt{\frac{2*1.2 m}{9.81 m/s^2} }

= 0.495 s

Let v be the initial velocity of the player.

The player deaccelarates from v m/s to 0 m/s in 0.495 s at the rate of 9.81 m/s^2.

v = 9.81 m/s^2 x 0.495 s = 4.85 m/s

2.

The player takes 0.3 s to increase his velocity from 0 m/s to 4.85 m/s. So his average accelaration is

4.85 m/s / 0.3 s = 16.2 m/s^2

A 16 foot ladder is leaning against a wall. If the top of the ladder slides down the wall at a rate of 3 feet per second, how fa
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

11.625

Explanation:

L = length of the ladder = 16 ft

v_{y} = rate at which top of ladder slides down = - 3 ft/s

v_{x} = rate at which bottom of ladder slides

y = distance of the top of ladder from the ground

x = distance of bottom of ladder from wall = 4 ft

Using Pythagorean theorem

L² = x² + y²

16² = 4² + y²

y = 15.5 ft

Also using Pythagorean theorem

L² = x² + y²

Taking derivative both side relative to "t"

0 = 2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t} + 2y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}

0 = x v_{x} + y v_{y}

0 = 4 v_{x} + (15.5) (- 3)

v_{x} = 11.625 ft/s

Certain rifles can fire a bullet with a speed of 950 m/s just as it leaves the muzzle (this speed is called the muzzle velocity)
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

a) By v^2 = u^2 + 2as => a= 70291.70.

(b)By v = u + at => t= 1.58 ms.

(c)By v^2 = u^2 - 2gh => H = 46045.92 m.

Explanation:

a) By v^2 = u^2 + 2as

(950)^2 = 0 + 2 \times a \times 0.75\\a = 601666.67 m/s^2\\a/g = 688858.70/9.8 = 70291.70

(b)By v = u + at

950 = 0 + 601666.67 \times t\\t = 1.58 x 10^-3 sec = 1.58 ms

(c)By v^2 = u^2 - 2gh

0 = (950)^2 - 2 \times9.8 \times H\\H = 46045.92 m

A particle with charge q = 10-9 C and mass m = 5.0 x 10-9 kg is moving in a magnetic field whose magnitude is 0.003 T. The speed
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

a=0.212 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

q= 10⁻⁹ C

m = 5 x 10⁻⁹ kg

Magnetic filed ,B= 0.003 T

Speed ,V= 500 m/s

θ= 45°

Lets take acceleration of the mass is a m/s²

The force on the charge due to magnetic filed B

F= q V B sinθ

Also F= m a  ( from Newton's law)

By balancing these above two forces

m a= q V B sinθ

a=\dfrac{qVB\ sin\theta}{m}

a=\dfrac{10^{-9}\times 500\times 0.003\times\ sin45^{\circ}}{5\times 10^{-9}}\ m/s^2

a=\dfrac{10^{-9}\times 500\times 0.003\times\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2}}{5\times 10^{-9}}\ m/s^2

a=0.212 m/s²
