You can calculate potential energy by:
U = m.g.h
Where, U = potential energy
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height
Hope this helps!
The other person who answered this is wrong btw
The answer is C. I hope I helped!
Answer:
Explanation:
The charges will repel each other and go away with increasing velocity , their kinetic energy coming from their potential energy .
Their potential energy at distance d
= kq₁q₂ / d
= 9 x 10⁹ x 36 x 10⁻¹² / 2 x 10⁻² J
= 16.2 J
Their total kinetic energy will be equal to this potential energy.
2 x 1/2 x mv² = 16.2
= 3 x 10⁻⁶ v² = 16.2
v = 5.4 x 10⁶
v = 2.32 x 10³ m/s
When masses are different , total P.E, will be divided between them as follows
K E of 3 μ = (16.2 / 30+3) x 30
= 14.73 J
1/2 X 3 X 10⁻⁶ v₁² = 14.73
v₁ = 3.13 x 10³
K E of 30 μ = (16.2 / 30+3) x 3
= 1.47 J
1/2 x 30 x 10⁻⁶ x v₂² = 1.47
v₂ = .313 x 10³ m/s
