Answer:
-320 μJ.
Explanation:
Consider a point with an electrical charge of . Assume that is the electrical potential at the position of that charge. The electrical potential of that point charge will be equal to:
.
Keep in mind that since both and might not be positive, the size of the electrical potential energy might not be positive, either.
For this point charge,
- ; (that's -8.0 microjoules, which equals to )
- .
Hence its electrical potential energy:
.
Why is this value negative? The electrical potential energy of a charge is equal to the work needed to bring that charge from infinitely far away all the way to its current position. Also, negative charges are attracted towards regions of high electrical potential. Bringing this negative charge to the origin will not require any external work. Instead, this process will release 320 μJ of energy. As a result, the electrical potential energy is a negative value.
Answer:
e = 0.46 m
Explanation:
From the laws of friction, frictional force, F is proportional to normal reaction, R.
F₁ = μR
where μ is coefficient of friction; R = mg and g = 9.8 ms⁻²
Also, from Hooke's law, extension, e, in an elastic spring is proportional to applied force.
F₂ = Ke
where K is force constant of the spring
Since the box is just about to move, the coefficient of friction involved is static friction.
The force on the spring equals the frictional force experienced by the box the box; F₁ = F₂
Ke = μR
e = μR/K
where μ = 0.65; R = 18 kg * 9.8 ms⁻²; K = 250 N/m
e = (0.65 * 18 * 9.8)/250
e = 0.46 m
Option B (electron) is negatively charged
Heat loss through walls can be reduced using wall insulation
1 angstrom = 10^-8 cm
6.5 x 10-4 cm = 65 000 x 10-8 cm = 65 000 angstroms
answer 65 000 angstroms
