Alla [95]

Answer:

W = 2.74 J

Explanation:

The work done by the charge on the origin to the moving charge is equal to the difference in the potential energy of the charges.

This is the electrostatic equivalent of the work-energy theorem.

$W = \Delta U = U_2 - U_1$

where the potential energy is defined as follows

$U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Let's first calculate the distance 'r' for both positions.

$r_1 = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_0)^2 + (y_1 - y_0)^2} = \sqrt{(0.170 - 0)^2 + (0 - 0)^2} = 0.170~m\\r_2 = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_0)^2 + (y_2 - y_0)^2} = \sqrt{(0.250 - 0)^2 + (0.250 - 0)^2} = 0.353~m$

Now, we can calculate the potential energies for both positions.

$U_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2} = \frac{(8.99\times 10^9)(2.3\times 10^{-6})(-5\times 10^{-6})}{(0.170)^2} = -3.57~J\\U_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_2^2} = \frac{(8.99\times 10^9)(2.3\times 10^{-6})(-5\times 10^{-6})}{(0.3530)^2} = -0.829~J$

Finally, the total work done on the moving particle can be calculated.

$W = U_2 - U_1 = (-0.829) - (-3.57) = 2.74~J$

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

M g H / 2 = M g L / 2 initial potential energy of rod

I ω^2 / 2 = 1/3 M L^2 * ω^2 / 2 kinetic energy attained by rod

M g L / 2 = 1/3 M L^2 * ω^2 / 2

g = 3 L ω^2

ω = (g / (3 L))^1/2
