Answer:

d) 12 V

Explanation:

Due to the symmetry of the problem, the potential (relative to infinity) at the midpoint of the square, is the same for all charges, provided they be of the same magnitude and sign, and be located at one of the corners of the square.

We can apply the superposition principle (as the potential is linear with the charge) and calculating the total potential due to the 4 charges, just adding the potential due to any of  them:

V = V(Q₁) + V(Q₂) +V(Q₃) + V(Q₄) = 4* 3.0 V = 12. 0 V

(a) Consider a fusion generator built to create 3.00 GW of power. Determine the rate of fuel burning in grams per hour if the DT
Stels [109]

The rate of fuel burning in grams per hour if the DT reaction is used is 1.08 ×10^1^3 J/g per hour

<h3>How is the rate of fuel burning in grams per hour calculated when the D-T reaction is used?</h3>
  • D + T → He + n
  • The D-T fusion reaction results in a Helium (He) and  neutron (n)

E = 17.59 MeV

Mass = 2.014u + 3.016u

= 5.030u

Energy per Kg = (17.59×10^6×1.6×10^-^1^9) ÷ ( 5.030×1.66×10^-^2^7)

= 3.37×10^1^4 J/Kg

= 3.0× 10^9 J/g

Rate of fuel burning in grams per hour = 3.0× 10^9 ×  3600

= 3.6×3.0×10^1^2

= 1.08 ×10^1^3 J/g per hour

Lagrangian mechanics. Determine the equations of motion for a particle of mass m constrained to move on the surface of a cone in
maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hi!

In order to obtain the Lagrangian of the system we must first write the Kinetic and Potential Energies. Lets orient our axes such that the axis of the cone coincide with the z axis. In cilindrical coordinates we have

v^{2} = \frac{dr}{dt}^{2}  +r^{2} \frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2} +\frac{dz}{dt} ^{2} - (1)

But, since the particle is constrained to move on the surface of the cilinder, we have the following relation between r and z:

\frac{r}{z}=tan(45)

or:

z = r cot(45) - (2)

and:

\frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{dr}{dt} cot(45)

replacing (2) in (1) we obtain:

v^{2} = \frac{dr}{dt}^{2} (1+cot(45))+r^{2}\frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2}  - (3)

Now the kinetic energy is given as:

T = \frac{1}{2}m(\frac{dr}{dt}^{2} (1+cot(45))+r^{2}\frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2}) - (4)

And the potential energy is given by:

V = -mgz = -mgr cot(45)

So the Langrangian is given by:

L = T - V= \frac{1}{2}m(\frac{dr}{dt}^{2}(1+cot(45)+r^{2})\frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2}) + mgr cot(45)

And the equations of motion are:

For θ

\frac{d}{dt} (mr\frac{d\theta}{dt}) = 0-->mr{d\theta}{dt}=c

For r

\frac{d}{dt}(m\frac{dr}{dt}(1+cot(45) )= mgcot(45)+mr\frac{d\theta}{dt} ^{2}\\m\frac{d^{2} r}{dt^{2} }(1+cot(45)= mgcot(45)+mr\frac{d\theta}{dt} ^{2}

Obtained from the Euler-Langrange equations

Here the conserved quantity is given by the first equation of motion, namely:

mr\frac{d\theta}{dt}=c

Which is the magnitude of the angular momentum

If a car travels 10 min 2 seconds, what is its speed?
abruzzese [7]
If you meant the car travels 10 meters or miles then the answer would be 5m/s because v=d/t (v=10/2)
