A tiny object carrying a charge of +44 μC and a second tiny charged object are initially very far apart. If it takes 21 J of wor

k to bring them to a final configuration in which the +44 μC object i is at x = 1.00 mm, y = 1.00 mm, and the other charged object is at x = 1.00 mm, y = 3.00 mm (Cartesian coordinate system), find the magnitude of the charge on the second object. (k = 1/4πε 0 = 8.99 × 109 N · m2/C2)

Answer:

The magnitude of the second charge is \rm 1.062\times 10^{-7}\ C or \rm 0.1062\ \mu C.

Explanation:

The work done in bringing a charged particle from one point to another in the presence of some electric field is equal to the change in the electric potential energy of the charge in moving from one point to another.

The electric potential energy of some charge q_o at a point in the electric field of another charge q is given by the product of the amount of charge q_o and electric potential at that point due to the charge q.

U = q_o\ V.

The electric potential at that point is given by

V = \dfrac{kq}{r}.

where k is the Coulomb's constant.

Therefore,

U=q_o\ \dfrac{kq}{r}.

Now, We have given two charges q_1 = +44\ \mu C = +44\times 10^{-6}\ C and q_2, whose value is to be found.

When the two charges are infinitely dar apart, the electric potential energy of the system is given by

U_i = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{\infty}=0.

When the coordinates of position of the two charges are

(x_1,\ y_1) = (1.00\ mm,\ 1.00\ mm).\\(x_2,\ y_2) = (1.00\ mm,\ 3.00\ mm).

The distance between the two charges is given by

r=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}=\sqrt{(1.00-1.00)^2+(3.00-1.00)^2}=2.00\ mm = 2.00\times 10^{-3}\ m.

The electric potential energy of the charges in this configuration is given by

U_f = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r}\\=\dfrac{(8.99\times 10^9)\times (+44\times 10^{-6})\times q_2}{2.00\times 10^{-3}}\\=1.9778\times 10^8\times q_2.

The change in the electric potential energy of the system is equal to the work done to bring the system from inifinitely far apart position to given configuration.

Therefore,

W = U_f-U_i\\21=(1.9778\times 10^8\times q_2)-0\\\Rightarrow q_2 = \dfrac{21}{1.9778\times 10^8}\\=1.062\times 10^{-7}\ C\\=0.1062\times 10^{-6}\ C\\=0.1062\ \mu C.

Andru [333]

Answer:

<em>Infrared telescope and camera</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

An infrared telescope uses infrared light to detect celestial bodies. The infrared radiation is one of the known forms of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared radiation is given off by a body possessing some form of heat. All bodies above the absolute zero temperature in the universe radiates some form of heat, which can then be detected by an infrared telescope, and infrared radiation can be used to study or look into a system that is void of detectable visible light.

Stars are celestial bodies that are constantly radiating heat. In order to see a clearer picture of the these bodies, <em>Infrared images is better used, since they are able to penetrate the surrounding clouds of dust,</em> and have located many more stellar components than any other types of telescope, especially in dusty regions of star clusters like the Trapezium cluster.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:v=\sqrt{\frac{FL}{m}}

Explanation:

Given

Ball of mass m

maximum Bearable Tension in string is F

Let length of the cord be L m and moving at a speed of v m/s

Here Tension will Provide Centripetal Force

T=Centripetal Force

F=T=\frac{mv^2}{L}

v=\sqrt{\frac{FL}{m}}
