Answer:

(a) 135 kV

(b) The charge chould be moved to infinity

Explanation:

(a)

The potential at a distance of <em>r</em> from a point charge, <em>Q</em>, is given by

V = -\dfrac{kQ}{r}

where k = 9\times 10^9 \text{ F/m}

Difference in potential between the points is

kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{0.2\text{ m}} -\left( -\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right] = \dfrac{kQ}{0.2\text{ m}} = \dfrac{9\times10^9\text{ F/m}\times3\times10^{-6}\text{ C}}{0.2\text{ m}}

PD = 135\times 10^3\text{ V} = 135\text{ kV}

(b)

If this potential difference is increased by a factor of 2, then the new pd = 135 kV × 2 = 270 kV. Let the distance of the new location be <em>x</em>.

270\times10^3 = kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{x}-\left(-\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right]

10 - \dfrac{1}{x} = \dfrac{270000}{9\times10^9\times3\times10^{-6}} = 10

\dfrac{1}{x} = 0

x = \infty

The charge chould be moved to infinity

Find the mass of an object if a 40 N of force causes the object to accelerate at 5.5 m/s/s
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{40}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>8 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

87) Determine the equivalent resistances for the following circuits.
stepladder [879]

Answer:

15    and  11 ohms

Explanation:

First one =   For the parallel resistors 1 / (1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6) =   1/ (3/6 ) = 6/3 = 2 ohms   then add the 3 and the 10  = 15 ohms

second one    for the parallel portion   equiv =    (10+2)*24 / ( (10+2 + 24) = 8

  then add the  3 in series = 11 ohms
