Answer:

636.4 J

Explanation:

The potential energy between one of the charges at the corner of the square and the fifth identical charge is U = kq²/r where q = charge = +50 × 10⁻⁶ C  and r = distance from center of square. = √2 m (since the midpoint of the sides = 1 m, so the distance from the charge at the corner to the center is thus √(1² + 1²) = √2)

Since we have four charges, the additional potential energy to move the charge to the centre of the square is U' = 4U = 4kq²/r

U' = 4kq²/r

= 4 × 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² (+50 × 10⁻⁶ C)²/√2 m

= 900 Nm²/√2 m

= 636.4 J

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer

given,

gauge pressure =   1.94 x 10⁵ Pa

Pressure due to 4.90 m column of water

= ρ g h

= (4.90) x  (1000)  x (9.8) Pa

= 48020 Pa

Gauge pressure of second floor faucet

= 1.94 x 10⁵Pa - 48020 Pa

P_g= 145980 Pa

( b )

Let h = height of faucet from which no water can flow even if open

P = ρ g h

1.94 x 10⁵  = h x(1000) x (9.8)

h = 19.79 m

What is displacement
saveliy_v [14]
This is what wiki says hope it helps
A displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P.[1] It quantifies both the distance and direction of an imaginary motion along a straight line from the initial position to the final position of the point.

A displacement may be also described as a 'relative position': the final position of a point (Sf) relative to its initial position (Si), and a displacement vector can be mathematically defined as the difference between the final and initial position vectors:

A satellite is revolving the earth 4km above the surface.find the orbital velocity of the satellite (R =6400km,g=9.8m/s^2)​
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

v ≈ 7900 m/s

Explanation:

centripetal force will equal gravity force

mv²/R = mg

v²/R = g

v² = Rg

v = √(Rg)

v = √(6.4e6(9.8))

v = 7.91959...e+3

v ≈ 7900 m/s

of course, at those velocities and that deep into the atmosphere, the satellite would quickly burn up, slow down, and cause tremendous damage to buildings etc. with the sonic boom shock wave. It would also have to avoid a lot of mountains as 4000 m is not that high.
