The equipotential surfaces surrounding a point charge are concentric spheres with the charge at the center. If the electric pote

ntial of two such equipotential surfaces that surround a point charge 1.63 10-8 C are 200 V and 82.0 V, what is the distance between these two surfaces?

Answer:

1.06 m

Explanation:

Since the charge is at the centre of two concentric spheres, we use the formula for electric potential due to a point charge. V = kq/r. Let r₁ be the radius of the sphere with potential, V₁ = 200 V and  r₂ be the radius of the sphere with potential, V₂ = 82.0 V. From V = kq/r, r = kq/V. So that r₁ = kq/V₁ and r₂ = kq/V₂. The magnitude of the difference r₁ - r₂ is the distance between the two surfaces. q the charge equals 1.63 × 10⁻⁸ C

r₂ - r₁ = kq/V₂ - kq/V₁ = kq(1/V₂ - 1/V₁) = 1.63 × 10⁻⁸ × 9 × 10⁹ (1/82 -1/200) m =  1.63 × 10⁻⁸ × 9 × 10⁹ (0.0122 - 0.005) = 1.63 × 10⁻⁸ × 9 × 10⁹(0.0072) m = 1.06 m

The distance between them is 1.06 m

Explanation:

When you run, your body has a kinetic energy  and when you fall while running, the friction between the carpet and your foot, transforms the kinetic energy into thermal energy or heat energy. This can even cause, real burn if the skin were too hot.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

N=62421972534 electrons

Explanation:

The charge transferred charge Q= −10nC = -10*10-9 C

Charge of a electron : Q_{e}= -1,602*10^{-19}C

Number of electrons transferred:  N=\frac{Q}{Q_{e} }=(-10*10^{-9} )/(-1,602*10^{-19})=62421972534 electrons

KengaRu [80]

The answer is carbon dioxide. This primordial earths’ atmosphere was composed by gasses from degassing of the earth's interior after its formation. It is after the beginning of life that oxygen levels began to rise and levels of carbon dioxide began to reduce in the atmosphere (as a result of photosynthesis).

A child whose weight is 235 N slides down a 4.90 m playground slide that makes an angle of 37.0° with the horizontal. The coeffi
Basile [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) First, let's calculate the value of the Friction force, which is given by the formula:

Ff = u*W

As the Friction force has an X component, it would be:

Ff = u*m*g*cosФ

Where m*g is the weight of the child.

Solving for Ff:

Ff = 0.051 * 235cos37 = 9.57 N

Now, to get the energy transferred to thermal energy (or heat) we need to get the Work done, so:

Wf = Ff * d

Wf = 9.57 * 4.9 = 46.9 J

b) We need to get the downslope component of the child weight, which is:

Wy = 235sin37 = 141.43 N

As you can imagine, the gravity also does work, so:

Wg = Wy * d

Wg = 141.43 * 4.9 = 693 J

Now, let's get the kinetic energy, which can be obtained by this expression:

ΔKe = Wg - Wf

ΔKe = 693 - 46.9 = 646.1 J

The formula for kinetic energy is:

Ke = 1/2 m*V^2

We have the innitial speed which is 0.355 m/s, and the mass can be obtained by m*g so:

Fw= m*g ----> m = Fw/g

m = 235 / 9.8 = 23.97 kg

so the innitial energy is:

Ke = 1/2 * 23.97 * (0.355)^2

Ke = 1.51 J

This could be Ke1, so to get Ke2:

ΔKe = Ke2 - Ke1

Ke2 = Δke + Ke1

Ke2 = 646.1 + 1.51 = 647,61 J

Finally, the speed at the bottom would be:

v = √2Ke/m

v = √2*647.61/23.97

v = 7.35 m/s
