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

For this problem, first, lets convert the seconds in hours:
5,4x10³ 5400
h = sec / 3600
h = 5400 s / 3600
h = 1,5
Let's recabe information:
d (Distance) = 386 km
t (Time) = 1,5 h
v (Velocity) = ?
For calculate velocity, let's applicate formula:
Reeplace according we information:
386 km = v * 1,5 h
v = 386 km / 1,5 h
v = 257,33 km/h
The velocity of the train is of <u>257,33 kilometers for hour.</u>

Extra:
For convert km/h to m/s, we divide the velocity of km/h for 3,6:
m/s = km/h / 3,6
Let's reeplace:
m/s = 257,33 km/h / 3,6
m/s = 71,48
¿Good Luck?
