Answer:

a. There are three potential energy interaction. b. 2.16 m/s c. 2.16 m/s d. 0 m/s

Explanation:

a. There are three potential energy interaction.

Let the charges be q₁ = +40 nC, q₂ = +250 nC and q₃ = + 40 nC and the distances between them be q₁ and q₂ is r, the distance between q₂ and q₃ is r  and the distance between q₁ and q₃ is  r₁ = 2r respectively. So, the potential energies are

U₁ = kq₁q₂/r, U₂ = kq₁q₃/2r and U₃ = kq₂q₃/r

U = U₁ + U₂ + U₃ = kq₁q₂/r +  kq₁q₃/2r + kq₂q₃/r (q₁ = q₃ = q and q₂ = Q)

U = kqQ/r +  kq²/2r + kqQ/r = qk/r(2Q + q/2)

b. To calculate the final speed of the left 2.0 g button, the potential energy = kinetic energy change of the particle.

ΔU = -ΔK

0 - qk(2Q + q/2)/r = -(1/2mv² - 0). Since the final potential at infinity equals zero and the initial kinetic energy is zero.

So qk(2Q + q/2)/r = -1/2mv²

v = √[2qk(2Q + q/2)/mr] where m = 2.0 g r = 2.0 cm

substituting the values for the variables,

v = √[2 × 40 × 10⁻⁹ × 9 × 10⁹(2 × 250 × 10⁻⁹ + 40 × 10⁻⁹/2)/2 × 10⁻³ × 2 × 10⁻²]

v = √[360(500 × 10⁻⁹ + 20 × 10⁻⁹)/2 × 10⁻⁵]

v = √[720(520 × 10⁻⁹)/4 × 10⁻⁵] = 2.16 m/s

c. The final speed of the right 2.0 g button is also 2.16 m/s since we have the same potential energy in the system

d.

Since the net force on the 5.0 g mass is zero due to the mutual repulsion of the charges on the two 2.0 g masses, its acceleration a = 0. Since it starts from rests u = 0, its velocity v = u + at.

Hence,

v = u + at = 0 + 0t = 0 m/s

An ideal step-down transformer is needed to reduce a primary voltage of 120 V to 6.0 V. What must be the ratio of the number of
Julli [10]

Answer:

N_s :  N_p = 20 : 1

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The primary voltage is  V_p  =  120 \  V

     The secondary voltage is  V_s  =  6 \  V    

     

Generally from the transformer equation we have that

        \frac{V_p}{V_s}  =  \frac{N_p}{N_s}

So

       \frac{120}{6}  =  \frac{N_p}{N_s}

=>      \frac{N_p}{N_s} = 20

Therefore the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary to the number of turns in the primary is  

       N_s :  N_p = 20 : 1

If you stretch a rubber hose and pluck it, you can observe a pulse traveling up and down the hose.(i) What happens to the speed
Monica [59]

The thing that happens to the speed of the pulse when you stretch the hose more tightly is that it increases.

<h3>What is wage speed?</h3>

It should be noted that wave speed simply means the distance that a wave travels during a particular time.

It should be noted that higher tension leads to an increase in the speed of the wave.

Therefore, the thing that happens to the speed of the pulse when you stretch the hose more tightly is that it increases.

A uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of a circular loop of diameter 13 cm formed from wire of diameter 2.6 mm
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Rate of change of magnetic field is 3.466\times 10^3T/sec        

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the circular loop is 13 cm = 0.13 m

So radius of the circular loop r=\frac{0.13}{2}=0.065m

Length of the circular loop L=2\pi r=2\times 3.14\times 0.065=0.4082m

Wire is made up of diameter of 2.6 mm

So radius r=\frac{2.6}{2}=1.3mm=0.0013m

Cross sectional area of wire A=\pi r^2=3.14\times0.0013^2=5.30\times 10^{-6}m^2

Resistivity of wire \rho =2.18\times 10^{-8}m

Resistance of wire R=\frac{\rho L}{A}=\frac{2.18\times 10^{-8}\times 0.4082}{5.30\times 10^{-6}}=1.67\times 10^{-3}ohm

Current is given i = 11 A

So emf  e=11\times 1.67\times 10^{-3}=0.0183volt

Emf induced in the coil is e=-\frac{d\Phi }{dt}=-A\frac{dB}{dt}

0.0183=5.30\times 10^{-6}\times \frac{dB}{dt}

\frac{dB}{dt}=3.466\times 10^3=T/sec

In the process of peppering the question with those forty (40 !) un-necessary quotation marks, you neglected to actually show us the illustration.  So we have no information to describe the adjacent positions, and we're not able to come up with any answer to the question.
