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

Physics
1 answer:
Licemer1 [7]3 years ago
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

What does KE mean? *100 pts*
Alchen [17]

Answer:

it simply means KINETIC ENERGY

Explanation:

In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes

Suppose you are standing at the exact center of a park surrounded by a circular road. An ambulance drives completely around this
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: The pitch of the sound does not change.

Explanation: The pitch of sound wave is dependent on the frequency of the sound wave. The frequency of sound wave when their is a relative motion between an observer and a source is given by Doppler effect.

Doppler effect is a mathematical equation that gives the relationship between the observed frequency by an observer from any sound source and the relative motion between the observer and the source.

Mathematically,

f'= (v+v') /(v-vs) * f

Where f' = observed frequency of sound wave

v= speed of sound in air

v'= velocity of observer relative to sound source

vs= velocity of sound source relating to observer

f= frequency of sound produced by source

The observer is at the center, thus the distance between the observer and the source is constant (according to mensuration, the radius is constant for any given circle and since the car is moving along a circular path and the observer is at the center, thus the distance between them is constant), thus making the relative velocity between the observer and the source constant (vs=constant).

Also the frequency of sound wave produce by the source is a constant (f=constant)

The speed of sound in air is also a constant (v=336m/s)

The observer is standing at the center thus he is not moving, hence the relative motion between observer and source is also constant (v'=constant)

Since all parameters are constant, then the observed frequency will be constant too.

Wat would happen if a feather and a ball were released from the same height at the same time? Gravity Experiments for Kids – Sci
solniwko [45]

Answer:

They would land at the same time

Explanation:

They would land at the same exact time.

As weird, impossible and unbelievable as it appears. When in a vacuum, every weight, body and material when released from the same height would land on the ground at the same time. This also means that like in the question, a feather and a ball would land at the same time. And just for illustrations as well, a feather and a car would land at the same time as well.
