A point charge with charge q1 = 4.00 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with charge q2 = -4.40 μC moves

from the point ( 0.155 m , 0) to the point ( 0.245 m , 0.270 m ). How much work W is done by the electric force on the moving point charge?

Answer:

W=0.94J

Explanation:

Electrostatic potential energy is the energy that results from the position of a charge in an electric field. Therefore, the work done to move a charge from point 1 to point 2 will be the change in electrostatic potential energy between point 1 and point 2.

This energy is given by:

U=\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r}\\

So, the work done to move the chargue is:

W=U_1-U_2\\W=\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r_1}-\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r_2}\\r_1=\sqrt{((0.155 m)^2+0 m)^2}=0.115m\\r_2=\sqrt{((0.245 m)^2+(0.270 m)^2}=0.365m\\W=K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |(\frac{1}{r_1}-\frac{1}{r_2})\\W=8.99*10^9\frac{Nm^2}{c^2}(4.00*10^{-6}C)(4.40*10^{-6}C)(\frac{1}{0.115m}-\frac{1}{0.365})\\W=0.94J

The work is positive since the potential energy in 1 is greater than 2.

What upward gravitational force does a 5600kg elephant exert on the earth?
Anastaziya [24]
Force is determined by multiplying mass and gravity (F= mg). To determine the answer, the mass of the elephant (5600 kg) is multiplied with the gravity (9.8 m/s²). The answer is 5800 N. This is the upward gravitational force that the elephant exerts on the earth.

For a fixed amount of gas at a fixed temperature, what will happen if the volume is doubled?.
mash [69]

Answer:

the pressure will decrease by 1/2

Explanation:

PV=nRT

P=(nRT)/(V)

nRT are all constant so they will equal 1

V is 2

P=1/2
