What is the energy stored between 2 Carbon nuclei that are 1.00 nm apart from each other? HINT: Carbon nuclei have 6 protons and
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

A. 8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J

Explanation:

Given that:

p = magnitude of charge on a proton = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

k = Boltzmann constant = 9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

r = distance between the two carbon nuclei = 1.00 nm = 1.00\times 10^{-9}\ m

Since a carbon nucleus contains 6 protons.

So, charge on a carbon nucleus is q = 6p=6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C=9.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

We know that the electric potential energy between two charges q and Q separated by a distance r is given by:

U = \dfrac{kQq}{r}

So, the potential energy between the two nuclei of carbon is as below:

U= \dfrac{kqq}{r}\\\Rightarrow U = \dfrac{kq^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow U = \dfrac{9\times10^9\times (9.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1.0\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow U =8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J

Hence, the energy stored between two nuclei of carbon is 8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J.

A 1,500 kg car’s speed changes from 30 m/s to 15 m/s after the brakes are applied. Calculate the work done onto the car from the
HACTEHA [7]

The work done onto the car is 506,250 J

The work done on a system implies an increase in the internal energy of the system as a result of some forces acting on the system from the outside.

From the parameters given:

  • The mass of the car = 1500 kg
  • The initial speed = 30 m/s
  • The final speed = 15 m/s

The work done onto the car refers to the change in the kinetic energy (i.e. ΔK.E)

\mathbf{=\dfrac{1}{2} mv_1^2 -\dfrac{1}{2} mv_2^2}

\mathbf{=\dfrac{1}{2} m(v_1^2 - v_2^2)}

\mathbf{=\dfrac{1}{2} \times 1500 \times (30^2 - 15^2)}

= 506,250 J

Therefore, we can conclude that the work done on the car is 506,250 J

An infinite sheet of charge is located in the y-z plane at x = 0 and has uniform charge denisity σ1 = 0.51 μC/m2. Another infini
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

 E_total = 5.8 10⁴ N /C

Explanation:

In this problem they ask to find the electric field at two points, the electric field is a vector magnitude, so we can find the field for each charged shoah and add them vectorally at the point of interest.

To find the electric field of a charged conductive sheet, we can use the Gauss law,

        Ф = E. d S = q_{int} / ε₀

Let us use as a Gaussian surface a small cylinder, with the base parallel to the sheet, the electric field between the sheet and the normal one next to the cylinder has 90º, so its scalar product is zero, the electric field between the sheet and the base has An Angle of 0º, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product.

Let's look for the electric field for plate 1

The total flow is the same for each face, as there are two sides of the cylinder

       2E A = q_{int} /ε₀

For the internal load we use the concept of surface density

      σ = q_{int1} / A

      q_{int1} = σ₁ A

Let's replace

       2E A = σ₁ A /ε₀

        E₁ = σ₁ / 2ε₀

For the other plate we have a field with a similar expression, but of negative sign

       E₂ = -σ₂ / 2ε₀

The total field is,

        E_total = σ₁ / 2ε₀ + σ₂ / 2ε₀

       E_total = (σ₁ + σ₂) / 2ε₀

Let us apply this expression to our case, when placing a sheet without electric charge, a charge is induced for each sheet, the plate 1 that has a positive charge the electric field is protruding to the right and the plate 2 that has a negative charge creates a incoming field, to the right, as the two fields have the same address add

           The conductive sheet in the middle pate undergoes an induced load that is created by the other two plates, but because the conductive plate the charges are mobile and are replaced.

       E_total = (0.51 +0.52) 10⁻⁶ / 2 8.85 10⁻¹²

       E_total = 5.8 10⁴ N /C

Note that the field is independent of the distance between the plates
