The energy required to heat a substance is related by the formula:
Q = mCpΔT ; where Q is the energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cp is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the change in temperature.
2000 = (4)(Cp)(5)
Cp = 100 Joules / g °C

Two cars, initially at rest and 5 km apart at t=0 , simultaneously move toward each other. Car A travels at a constant speed of
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

<em>d. 268 s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Speed Motion</u>

An object is said to travel at constant speed if the ratio of the distance traveled by the time taken is constant.

Expressed in a simple equation, we have:

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

Where  

v = Speed of the object

d = Distance traveled

t  = Time taken to travel d.

From the equation above, we can solve for d:

d = v . t

And we can also solve it for t:

\displaystyle t=\frac{d}{v}

Two cars are initially separated by 5 km are approaching each other at relative speeds of 55 km/h and 12 km/h respectively. The total speed at which they are approaching is 55+12 = 67 km/h.

The time it will take for them to meet is:

\displaystyle t=\frac{5}{67}

t = 0.0746 hours

Converting to seconds: 0.0746*3600 = 268.56

The closest answer is d. 268 s

Three identical charges q form an equilateral triangle of side a with two charges on the x-axis and one on the positive y-axis.
shusha [124]

Answer:

F_n = k*q*(\frac{2*(y + \frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2}) }{((y+ \frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2})^2 + (a/2)^2)^1.5 } +\frac{1}{y^2}  )

Explanation:

Given:

- Three identical charges q.

- Two charges on x - axis separated by distance a about origin

- One on y-axis

- All three charges are vertices

Find:

- Find an expression for the electric field at points on the y-axis above the uppermost charge.

- Show that the working reduces to point charge when y >> a.

Solution

- Take a variable distance y above the top most charge.

- Then compute the distance from charges on the axis to the variable distance y:

                                  r = \sqrt{(\frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2} + y)^2 + (a/2)^2  }

- Then compute the angle that Force makes with the y axis:

                                 cos(Q) = sqrt(3)*a / 2*r

- The net force due to two charges on x-axis, the vertical components from these two charges are same and directed above:

                                 F_1,2 = 2*F_x*cos(Q)

- The total net force would be:

                                F_net = F_1,2 + kq / y^2

- Hence,

                                F_n = k*q*(\frac{2*(y + \frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2}) }{((y+ \frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2})^2 + (a/2)^2)^1.5 } +\frac{1}{y^2}  )

- Now for the limit y >>a:

                              F_n = k*q*(\frac{2*y(1 + \frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2*y}) }{y^3((1+ \frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2*y})^2 + (a/y*2)^2)^1.5 }) +\frac{1}{y^2}  )

- Insert limit i.e a/y = 0

                              F_n = k*q*(\frac{2}{y^2} +\frac{1}{y^2})  \\\\F_n = 3*k*q/y^2

Hence the Electric Field is off a point charge of magnitude 3q.
