Two particles with charges +6e and -6e are initially very far apart (effectively an infinite distance apart). They are then fixe

Answer:

\rm EPE_{final}-EPE_{initial}=-1.478\times 10^{-15}\ J.

Explanation:

Given charges are:

\rm q_1 = +6e.\\q_2 = -6e.

The electric potential energy of a charge due to the electric field of another charge is given by

\rm EPE=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r}.

where,

  • k = Coulomb's constant, having value = \rm 9\times 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2.
  • r = distance between the charges.

When the charges are infinite distance apart, \rm r = \infty,

\rm EPE_{initial} = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r}=0\ J.

When the charges are \rm 5.61\times 10^{-12}\ m apart, \rm r=5.61\times 10^{-12}\ m,

\rm EPE_{final}=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r}\\=\dfrac{(9\times 10^9)\times (+6e)\times (-6e)}{5.61\times 10^{-12}}\\=-5.775\ e^2\times 10^{22}.

Here, e is the charge on one electron, such that, \rm e = -1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.

Therefore,

\rm EPE_{final}=-5.775\times (-1.6\times 10^{-19})^2\times 10^{22} = -1.478\times 10^{-15}\ J.

Thus,

\rm EPE_{final}-EPE_{initial}=-1.478\times 10^{-15}-0=-1.478\times 10^{-15}\ J.

A ray of light has a wavelength of
MArishka [77]

Answer:

The wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of light, \lambda=284\ nm

The refractive index of glass, n = 1.51

We need to find the wavelength in vacuum. The relation between wavelength and refractive index is given by :

n=\dfrac{\lambda_v}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda_v=n\times \lambda\\\\\lambda_v=1.51\times 284\\\\\lambda_v=428.8\ nm

So, the wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.

Calculate the speed of a car that travels a distance of 2.4km in 2 minutes ​
hammer [34]

Answer:

72 kilometres per hour

Explanation:

The formula for calculating speed is distance/time.

So to work this out you would convert 2 minutes into hours. You would divide 2 by 60 to convert it into hours. This is because the standard unit for speed with kilometres is kilometres per hour. Then  you would divide 2.4 by that.

1)Divide 2 by 60:

2/60=0.0333333

2) Divide 2.4 by 0.0333333.

2.4/0.0333333=72.00007

3) Round it.

72km/h

Why the bulb of thermometer in cylindrical
crimeas [40]
I'm not accurately sure if you're asking for why the bulb of a thermometer is in a cylindrical shape. So let me continue. The shape of the which is thin and cylindrical in the shape is the increase of the effect of mercury in the tube to rise and fall depending on the contact temperature.
