Answer:

A) V = 55.57 V

B) E = -1.61 x 10^(-7)J

C) Negative sign means that positive work must be done to separate the charges (bring them up to a state of zero potential energy)

Explanation:

A) Electric potential is given by the formula;

V = KQ/d

Since there are two charges and we are looking for the electric potential at a point midway through them, we now have;

V = kQ1/0.5d + kQ2/0.5d

This can be arranged as;

V = (k/0.5d)(Q1 + Q2)

Where;

k is coulombs constant and has a value of 8.99 x 10^(9) N.m²/C²

d = 55 cm = 0.55m

Q1 = +4.10 nC = 4.1 x 10^(-9) C

Q2 = −2.40 nC = -2.4 x 10^(-9) C

Thus;

V = (8.99 x 10^(9))/(0.5 x 0.55)[4.1 x 10^(-9) - 2.4 x 10^(-9)]

V = 55.57 V

B) The formula for the potential energy of the pair of charges is;

E = kQ1•Q2/d

Thus, E = [(8.99 x 10^(9)) * 4.1 x 10^(-9) * -2.4 x 10^(-9)]/0.55

E = -160.8 x 10^(-9)

Or

E = -1.61 x 10^(-7)J

C) Negative sign means that positive work must be done to separate the charges (bring them up to a state of zero potential energy)

How would doubling the mass of Earth affect the gravity we experience?​
N76 [4]
The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.

A 70.0 kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, has a 0.110 kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 31.5 m/s. Suppose th
NISA [10]

Answer

given,

mass of the goalie(m₁) = 70 kg

mass of the puck (m₂)= 0.11 kg

velocity of the puck = 31.5 m/s

elastic collision

v_1=\dfrac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}v_1+\dfrac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}v_2

v_{pf}=\dfrac{0.11-70}{0.11+70}31.5+\dfrac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}\times (0)

v_{pf}=-31.4\ m/s

v'_2 = \dfrac{2m_1v_1}{m_1+m_2}-\dfrac{(m_2-m_1)v_2}{m_2+m_1}

v_{gf} = \dfrac{2\times 0.11\times 31.5}{0.11+70}-\dfrac{(0.11-70)\times 0}{m_1+m_2}

v_{gf} = \dfrac{2\times 0.11\times 31.5}{0.11+70}

v_{gf} = 0.0988\ m/s

In the writing of ionic chemical formulas, what factor is "crossed over" in the crossover rule?
Aleks04 [339]

In the writing of ionic chemical formulas the value of each ion's charge is crossed over in the crossover rule.

Rules for naming Ionic compounds

  • Frist Rule
    The cation (element with a negative charge) is written first in the name then the anion(element with a positive charge) is written second in the name.
  • Second rule
    When the formula unit contains two or more of the same polyatomic ion, that ion is written in parentheses with the subscript written outside the parentheses.
    Example: Sodium carbonate is written as Na₂CO₃ not Na₂(CO)₃
  • Third rule
    If the cation is a metal ion with a fixed charge then the name of the cation will remain the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (Example: Na+ will be sodium).
    If the cation is a metal ion with a variable charge, the charge on the cation is indicated using a Roman numeral, in parentheses, immediately following the name of the cation (example: Fe³⁺ = iron(III)).
  • Fourth rule
    If the anion is a monatomic ion, the anion is named by adding the suffix <em>-ide</em> to the root of the element name (example: F = Fluoride).

The oxidation state of each ion is also important, thus in the crossover rule, the value of each ion's charge is crossed over.
