A point charge of 4.0 µC is placed at a distance of 0.10 m from a hard rubber rod with an electric field of 1.0 × 103 . What is

the electric potential energy of the point charge?

Since

Electric potential energy = qV

Where V = Ed

Hence
Electric potential energy = q(Ed) --- (1)

Since E = 1.0 * 10^3 N/C
d = 0.10 m
q = 4 * 10^-6 C

Plug in the values in (1)
(1) => Electric potential energy = 4 * 10^-6(1.0 * 10^3 * 0.10)
Electric potential energy = 400 μJ

Why are the wheels on a roller coaster hot after a ride. (I know it’s due to friction but I need more of a detailed answer).

2 someone's glasses could fall of because of the inertia
roller coaster is in motion but your glasses are opposing and resisting that motion due to inertia....

1 there is a possibility that electrons move from wheels to the rail and vice versa which also means that it is producing some kind of electrical energy

A 2kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 5 m/s on a roof of the building that is 40 meters tall. What is the kinetic energy

MrRa [10]

The kinetic energy is $\frac 1 2 m v^2$ and the height of the building doesn't matter at all.

$E = \frac 1 2 m v^2 = \frac 1 2 (2)(5)^2 = 25$ joules

On a hot summer day, 3.50 ✕ 106 J of heat transfer into a parked car takes place, increasing its temperature from 36.5°C to 44.4

anygoal [31]

Answer:

a) $\Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}$

b) $\Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}$

Explanation:

a)

Given:

amount of heat transfer occurred, $dQ=3.5\times 10^6\ J$

initial temperature of car, $T_i=36.5+273=309.5\ K$

final temperature of car, $T_f=44.4+273=317.4\ K$

We know that the change in entropy is given by:

$\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}$

$\Delta s=\frac{3.5\times 10^6}{(44.4-36.5)}$ (heat is transferred into the system of car)

$\Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}$

b)

amount of heat transfer form the system of house, $dQ=5.8\times 10^8\ J$

initial temperature of house, $T_i=23.5+273=296.5\ K$

final temperature of house, $T_f=5.3+273=278.3\ K$

$\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}$

$\Delta s=\frac{5.8\times 10^8}{278.3-296.5}$

$\Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}$

horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 14 meters apart. When a mass of 3 kilograms is tied to the middle of the clothes

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The tension is $T = 103.96N$

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the question is shown on the first uploaded image From the question we are told that

The distance between the two poles is $D =14 m$

The mass tied between the two cloth line is $m = 3Kg$

The distance it sags is $d_s = 1m$

The objective of this solution is to obtain the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline

Now the sum of the forces on the y-axis is zero assuming that the whole system is at equilibrium

And this can be mathematically represented as

$\sum F_y = 0$

To obtain $\theta$ we apply SOHCAHTOH Rule

So $Tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}$

$\theta = tan^{-1} [\frac{opp}{adj} ]$

$= tan^{-1} [\frac{1}{7}]$

$=8.130^o$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2T sin\theta -mg =0$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T =\frac{mg}{2 sin\theta}$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T = \frac{3 * 9.8 }{2 sin \theta }$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T =\frac{29.4}{2sin(8.130)}$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T = 103.96N$
