Answer:

(a) 23.946 kV

(b) -0.077 J

Explanation:

(a) The electric potential is given by the following formula:

V=k\frac{q_1}{r_1}+k\frac{q_2}{r_2}   (1)

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

q1 = q2 = 1.60*10^{-6}C

r1 and r2 are the distance from the charges to the point in which electric potential is evaluated.

Firs, you calculate the distance r1 and r2 by taking into account the position of the charges

r_1=\sqrt{(1.00)^2+(0.670)^2}m=1.20m\\\\r_2=\sqrt{(-1.00)^2+(0.670)^2}m=1.20m

Next, you replace the values of the parameters to calculate V:

V=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{1.6*10^{-6}C}{1.20m}+(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{1.6*10^{-6}C}{1.20m}\\\\V=23946.66\ V=23.946\ kV

(b) The potential electric energy is given by:

U_T=U_{1,2}+U_{1,3}+U_{2,3}\\\\U_T=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r_{1,2}}+k\frac{q_1q_3}{r_{1,3}}+k\frac{q_2q_3}{r_{2,3}}\\\\r_{1,2}=2.00m\\\\r_{1,3}=1.20m\\\\r_{2,3}=1.20m\\\\U_T=(8.98*10^9)[\frac{(1.6*10^{-6})^2}{2.00m}+\frac{(1.6*10^{-6})(-3.70*10^{-6})}{1.20}+\frac{(1.6*10^{-6})(-3.70*10^{-6})}{1.20}]J\\\\U_T=-0.077J

Where c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind the projectile. The initial position of the projectile is
Ronch [10]

Complete Question

A gas gun uses high pressure gas tp accelerate projectile through the gun barrel.

If the acceleration of the projective is : a = c/s m/s​2

Where c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind the projectile. The initial position of the projectile is s= 1.5m and the projectile is initially at rest. The projectile accelerates until it reaches the end of the barrel at s=3m. What is the value of the constant c such that the projectile leaves the barrel with velocity of 200m/s?

Answer:

The value of the constant is  c = 28853.78 \ m^2 /s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

         The acceleration is  a =  \frac{c}{s}\   m/s^2

         The  initial position of the projectile is s= 1.5m

         The final position of the projectile is s_f =  3 \ m

          The velocity is  v = 200 \ m/s

     Generally  time  =  \frac{ds}{dv}

   and  acceleration is a =  \frac{v}{time }

so

            a = v  \frac{dv}{ds}

 =>        vdv  =  a ds

             vdv  = \frac{c}{s}  ds

integrating both sides

           \int\limits^a_b  vdv  = \int\limits^c_d \frac{c}{s}  ds

Now for the limit

          a =  200 m/s

             b = 0 m/s  

         c = s= 3 m

          d =s_f= 1.5 m

So we have  

           \int\limits^{200}_{0}  vdv  = \int\limits^{3}_{1.5} \frac{c}{s}  ds

              [\frac{v^2}{2} ] \left | 200} \atop {0}} \right.  = c [ln s]\left | 3} \atop {1.5}} \right.

            \frac{200^2}{2}  =  c ln[\frac{3}{1.5} ]

=>           c = \frac{20000}{0.69315}

              c = 28853.78 \ m^2 /s^2

A metallic wire has a diameter of 4.12mm. When the current in the wire is 8.00A, the drift velocity is 5.40×10−5m/s.What is the
podryga [215]

Answer:

6.9\times 10^{28}m^{-3}

Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of wire=d=4.12 mm

Radius of wire=rr=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{4.12}{2}=2.06mm=2.06\times 10^{-3} m

1mm=10^{-3} m

Current=I=8 A

Drift velocity=v_d=5.4\times 10^{-5} m/s

We have to find the density of free electrons in the metal

We know that

Density of electron=n=\frac{I}{v_deA}

Using the formula

Density of free electrons=\frac{8}{5.4\times 10^{-5}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 3.14\times (2.06\times 10^{-3})^2}

By using Area of wire=\pi r^2

\pi=3.14\\e=1.6\times 10^{-19} C

Density of free electrons=6.9\times 10^{28}m^{-3}
