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.

Assume: Moving to the right is positive. A(n) 7.7 g object moving to the right at 22 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision wit
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply the formula for velocity in case of elastic collision which is given below

v₁ = (m₁ - m₂)u₁ /  (m₁ +  m₂)  + 2m₂u₂ / (m₁ +  m₂)

m₁ and u₁ is mass and velocity of first object , m₂ and  u₂ is mass and velocity of second object before collision and v₁ is velocity of first velocity after collision.

Here u₁ = 22 cm /s , u₂ = - 14 cm /s . m₁ = 7.7 gm , m₂ = 18 gm

v₁ = ( 7.7 - 18 ) x 22 / ( 7.7 + 18 )  + 2 x 18 x - 14 / ( 7.7 + 18 )

= - 8.817 - 19.6

= - 28.4 cm / s

A car initially traveling at 27.2 m/s undergoes a constant negative acceleration of magnitude 1.90 m/s2 after its brakes are app
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Therefore, the revolutions that each tire makes is:

\Delta \theta=22\: rev

Explanation:

We can use the following equation:

\omega_{f}^{2}=\omega_{i}^{2}-2\alpha \Delta \theta (1)

The angular acceleration is:

a_{tan}=\alpha R

\alpha=\frac{1.9}{0.325}

\alpha=5.85\: rad/s^{2}

and the initial angular velocity is:

\omega_{i}=\frac{v}{R}

\omega_{i}=\frac{27.2}{0.325}

\omega_{i}=83.69\: rad/s

Now, using equation (1) we can find the revolutions of the tire.

0=83.69^{2}-2*25.85 \Delta \theta

\Delta \theta=135.47\: rad

Therefore, the revolutions that each tire makes is:

\Delta \theta=22\: rev

I hope it helps you!

You are trying to climb a castle wall so, from the ground, you throw a hook with a rope attached to it at 24.1 m/s at an angle o
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The value is  h  =  13.2 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The speed of the rope with hook is u =  24 .1 \  m/s

     The angle is  \theta = 65.0^o

      The speed at which it hits top of the wall is  v  =  16.3 m/s

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      v_y^2  =  u_y ^2 + *  2 (-g)* h

Here h is the height of the wall so

      [16.3 sin (65)]^2 =  [24.1 sin (65)] ^2+   2 (-9.8)* h

=>    h  =  13.2 \  m
