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

Which option best describes electromagnetic waves that have enough energy to change atoms or molecules into ions?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

B.Ionizing radiation is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionizing radiation has sufficient energy that it can convert atoms and molecules into ions.

It has a sufficient amount of energy that it can separate tightly confined electrons from the orbit of an atom and causing that atom to become ionized.

A lawn roller in the form of a thin-walled, hollow cylinder with mass M is pulled horizontally with a constant horizontal force
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

a_{cm}=\frac{F}{2M}\\\\F_{fr}=\frac{F}{2}

Explanation:

Given the mass as M, the rotational inertia of the mower is;

I_{cm}=MR^2

-The roller doesn't slip while rolling;

v_{cm}=wR, a_{cm}=\alpha R

\sum F_x=Ma_x, -F+F_{fr}=-Ma_{cm}\\\\a_{cm}=\frac{F-Fr}{M}    \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ eqtn1\\\\\sum \tau_{cm}=I_{cm}\alpha, F_{fr}(R)}=(MR^2)(\frac{a_{cm}}{R}), ->F_{fr}=Ma_c_m\ \ \  \ \ \ \ eqtn2\\\\a_{cm}=\frac{F-Ma_{cm}}{M}, ->F=2Ma_{cm}\\\\a_{cm}=\frac{F}{2M}\\\\\\\therefore F_{fr}=M(\frac{F}{2M})\\\\F_{fr}=\frac{F}{2}

a horse moves a sleigh 1.00 kilometers by applying a horizontal 2000 Newton force on its harness for 45 minutes. what is the pow
tatyana61 [14]
--  If 2,000 newtons of force were applied through a distance of 1,000 meters,
then 2,000,000 newton-meters = 2,000,000 joules of work were done.

-- 45 minutes = (45 x 60) = 2,700 seconds

-- Power = (work) / (time) = (2,000,000 j) / (2,700 s) = <u>740.74 watts</u>

Interestingly, that's almost exactly 1 horsepower.  (0.99295... of 746 watts)

Chapter 36, Problem 007 Light of wavelength 586 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The angle between the first diffraction minimum
svp [43]

Answer:

d =4.77\times 10^{-5}\ m

Explanation:

given

wavelength of light  λ = 479 nm

                                   = 479 x 10⁻⁹ m

the angle

θ = 1.15 / 2 = 0.575°                

using                                              

condition for diffraction minimum ,

         d sinθ = m λ                        

for first minimum m = 1

       d sinθ = λ                      

therefore ,

slit width                                  

d =\dfrac{\lambda}{sin\theta}          

d =\dfrac{479\times 10^{-9}}{sin 0.575^0}

d =\dfrac{479\times 10^{-9}}{0.01}              

d =4.77\times 10^{-5}\ m                                                    

hence, the width of the slit is equal to d =4.77\times 10^{-5}\ m
