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

d at positions that are 5.61 x 10^-12 m apart. What is EPEfinal - EPEinitial, which is the change in the electric potential energy?

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.

Two motorcycles are traveling in opposite directions at the same speed when one of the cyclists blasts her horn, which has frequ
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

6ms^-1

Explanation:

Given that the frequency difference is

( 563- 544) = 19

So alsoThe wavelength of each wave is = v/f = 344 /544

and there are 19 of this waves

So it is assumed that each motorcycle has moved 0.5 of this distance

in one second thus the speed of the motorcycles will be

=> 19/2 x 344/544 = 6.0 m/s

During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

v = 384km/min

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of the Hubble space telescope, you first calculate the distance that Hubble travels for one orbit.

You know that 37000 times the orbit of Hubble are 1,280,000,000 km. Then, for one orbit you have:

d=\frac{1,280,000,000km}{37,000}=34,594.59km

You know that one orbit is completed by Hubble on 90 min. You use the following formula to calculate the speed:

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{34,594.59km}{90min}=384.38\frac{km}{min}\approx384\frac{km}{min}

hence, the speed of the Hubble is approximately 384km/min
