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.

A rocket accelerates by burning its onboard fuel, so its mass decreases with time. Suppose the initial mass of the rocket at lif
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Height of the rocket be one minute after liftoff is 40.1382 km.

Explanation:

v(t)=-gt-v_e\times \ln \frac{m-rt}{m}

v = velocity of rocket at time t

g = Acceleration due to gravity =9.8 m/s^2

v_e = Constant velocity relative to the rocket = 2,900m/s.

m = Initial mass of the rocket at liftoff = 29000 kg

r = Rate at which fuel is consumed = 170 kg/s

Velocity of the rocket after 1 minute of the liftoff =v

t = 1 minute = 60 seconds'

Substituting all the given values in in the given equation:

v(60)=-9.8 m/s^2\times 60 s-2,900m/s\times \ln (\frac{29,000 kg-170 kg/s\times 60 s}{2,9000 kg})

v(60) = 668.97 m/s

Height of the rocket = h

Velocity=\frac{Displacement}{time}

668.97 m/s=\frac{h}{60 s}

h=668.97 m/s\times 60 s=40,138.2 m = 40.1382 km

Height of the rocket be one minute after liftoff is 40.1382 km.

A fire helicopter carries a 580-kg bucket of water at the end of a 20.0-m long cable. Flying back from a fire at a constant spee
inn [45]

Answer:

F = 41,954 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of bucket = 580 Kg

length of the cable = 20 m

velocity = 40 m/s

angle made = 38.0°

T cos 38° = m g..............(1)

T sin 38^0 = \dfrac{mv^2}{l} + F......(2)

dividing equation (2) by (1)

tan 38^0 = \dfrac{\dfrac{mv^2}{l} + F}{mg}

tan 38^0 = \dfrac{\dfrac{580\times 40^2}{20} + F}{580 \times 9.81}

4445.36 = \dfrac{580\times 40^2}{20} + F

F = -46400 + 4445.36

F = -41,954 N

hence, the force is acting in the opposite direction as assumed.

F = 41,954 N

The old rubber boot has two leaks. The top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks. What is the velocity of the water coming
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Leak 1 = 3.43 m/s

Leak 2 = 2.42 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks. 

Let height H = 0.3m and the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

From the figure, the angle of the leak 1 will be approximately equal to 45 degrees. While the leak two can be at 90 degrees.

Using the third equation of motion under gravity, we can calculate the velocity of leak 1 and 2
