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.

What is the speaker’s power output if the sound intensity level is 102 dBdB at a distance of 25 mm ? Express your answer to two
lesya [120]

Answer:

Power  = 124.50 W

Explanation:

Given that:

The Sound intensity of a speaker output is 102 dB

and the distance r = 25 m

For the intensity of sound,

\beta (dB)= 10 \  log_{10 } (\dfrac{I}{I_o})

where;

the threshold of hearing   I_o = 10^{-12} (W/m^2)

\dfrac{102 }{10}= log_{10}( \dfrac{I}{10^{-12}})

10^{10.2} =  \dfrac{I}{10^{-12}}

I = 10^{10.2} \times 10^{-12}

I = 0.01585 W/m²

If we recall, we know remember that ;

Power = Intensity × A rea

Power = 0.01585 W/m² × 4 × 3.142 × (25 m)²

Power  = 124.50 W

A child, hunting for his favorite wooden horse, is running on the ground around the edge of a stationary merry-go-round. The ang
olga55 [171]

Answer:

9.22 s

Explanation:

One-quarter of a turn away is 1/4 of 2π, or π/2 which is approximately 1.57 rad

Let t (seconds) be the time it takes for the child to catch up with the horse. We would have the following equation of motion for the child and the horse:

For the child: s_c = \omega_ct = 0.233t

For the horse: s_h = s_0 + a_ht^2/2 = 1.57 + 0.0136t^2/2 = 1.57 + 0.0068t^2

For the child to catch up with the horse, they must cover the same angular distance within the same time t:

s_c = s_h

0.233t = 1.57 + 0.0068t^2

0.0068t^2 - 0.233t + 1.57 = 0

t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t= \frac{0.233\pm \sqrt{(-0.233)^2 - 4*(0.0068)*(1.57)}}{2*(0.0068)}

t= \frac{0.233\pm0.11}{0.0136}

t = 25.05 or t = 9.22

Since we are looking for the shortest time we will pick t = 9.22 s

Why might the term red hot be misleading? (relating to stars)
Allushta [10]

red hot is hot, but other colours are even hotter. stars may be hotter than red hot.

there is also something calle the red shift.

To avoid breakdown of the capacitors, the maximum potential difference to which any of them can be individually charged is 125 V
aleksley [76]

Answer:

The maximum energy stored in the combination is 0.0466Joules

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Three capacitors C1-11.7 μF, C2 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF are connected in series. To avoid breakdown of the capacitors, the maximum potential difference to which any of them can be individually charged is 125 V. Determine the maximum energy stored in the series combination.

Energy stored in a capacitor is expressed as E = 1/2CtV² where

Ct is the total effective capacitance

V is the supply voltage

Since the capacitors are connected in series.

1/Ct = 1/C1+1/C2+1/C3

Given C1 = 11.7 μF, C2 = 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF

1/Ct = 1/11.7 + 1/21.0 + 1/28.8

1/Ct = 0.0855+0.0476+0.0347

1/Ct = 0.1678

Ct = 1/0.1678

Ct = 5.96μF

Ct = 5.96×10^-6F

Since V = 125V

E = 1/2(5.96×10^-6)(125)²

E = 0.0466Joules
