How should the distance, D, between two point charges, q1 and q2, be changed to double their electric potential energy

1 answer:

6 0

The electrostatic potential energy, U, of one point charge q at position d in the presence of an electric field E is defined as the negative of the work W done by the electrostatic force to bring it from the reference position d to that position

$u \: = \: \frac{kq1q2}{d}$

Thus, to double the electric potential energy U we need to reduce the distance of separation by half (1/2) because they are inversely proportion

We know that an electric field contains energy. What causes the electric field itself?

Art [367]

Electrical charges on one or more particles within the field cause the electric field

Each point in space has an electric field associated with it when a charge of any kind is present. The value of E, often known as the electric field strength, electric field intensity, or just the electric field, expresses the strength and direction of the electric field

A region of space surrounding an electrically charged particle or object known as an electric field is one in which an electric charge would experience force. A vector quantity called an electric field can be represented by arrows pointing in the direction of or away from charges. The force per unit charge exerted on a positive test charge that is at rest at a given position is the force per unit charge that is used to define the electric field analytically.

Danny Diver weighs 500 N and steps off a diving board 10 m above the water. Danny hits the water with kinetic energy of

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Danny hits the water with kinetic energy of 5000 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

The Weight of Danny Diver,

F = 500 N

m*g= 500 N

He steps off a diving board 10 m above the water.

h=10 m

when Danny diver hits water he generates the kinetic energy.

We need to find the kinetic energy of the water.

Let kinetic energy is K.

K = m*g*h

Where g is acceleration due to gravity.

that g= 9.8 m/s^2

now substituting the values in above equation

K= (500) * 10

K= 5000 J

Hence,

he hits the water with kinetic energy of 5000 J.

Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the speed of light is 3.0  108 m/s. in kilometers, how far is the earth fr

Flura [38]

To determine the distance of the light that has traveled given the time it takes to travel that distance, we need a relation that would relate time with distance. In any case, it would be the speed of the motion or specifically the speed of light that is travelling which is given as 3x10^8 meters per second. So, we simply multiply the time to the speed. Before doing so, we need to remember that the units should be homogeneous. We do as follows:

distance = 3x10^8 m/s ( 8.3 min ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) = 1.494x10^11 m

Since we are asked for the distance to be in kilometers, we convert

distance = 1.494x10^11 m ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 149400000 km

An object of mass 2.0 kg is attached to the top of a vertical spring that is anchored to the floor. The unstressed length of the

poizon [28]

Answer:

The value is $A = 0.014 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the object is $m = 2.0 \ kg$

The unstressed length of the string is $l = 0.08 \ m$

The length of the spring when it is at equilibrium is $l_e = 5.9 \ cm = 0.059 \ m$

The initial speed (maximum speed)of the spring when given a downward blow $v = 0.30 \ m/s$

Generally the maximum speed of the spring is mathematically represented as

$u = A * w$

Here A is maximum height above the floor (i.e the maximum amplitude)

and $w$ is the angular frequency which is mathematically represented as

$w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

$u = A * \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

=> $A = u * \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

Gnerally the length of the compression(Here an assumption that the spring was compressed to the ground by the hammer is made) by the hammer is mathematically represented as

$b = l -l_e$

=> $b = 0.08 - 0.05 9$

=> $b = 0.021 \ m$

Generally at equilibrium position the net force acting on the spring is

$k * b - mg = 0$

=> $k * 0.021 - 2 * 9.8 = 0$

=> $k = 933 \ N/m$

$A = 0.30 * \sqrt{\frac{2}{933} }$

=> $A = 0.014 \ m$

Alicia can row 6 miles downstream in the same time it takes her to row 4 miles upstream. She rows downstream 3 miles/hour faster

m_a_m_a [10]

Let us assume the upstream rowing rate of Alicia = x
Let us assume the downstream rowing rate of Alicia = y
We already know that
Travelling time = Distance traveled/rowing rate
Then
6/(x + 3) = 4/x
6x = 4x + 12
6x - 4x = 12
2x = 12
x = 6
Then
Rowing rate of Alicia going upstream = 6 miles per hour
Rowing rate of Alicia going downstream = 9 miles per hour.
