A charge of Q is fixed in space. A second charge of q was first placed at a distance r1 away from Q. Then it was moved along a s

traight line to a new position at a distance R away from its starting position. The final location of q is at a distance r2 from Q. 1)What is the change in the potential energy of charge q during this process

Answer:

\Delta U = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential energy is given by the following formula

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

Now, we will apply this formula to both cases:

U_1 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_1^2}\\U_2 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_2^2}

So, the change in the potential energy is

\Delta U = U_2 - U_1 = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})

If Scobie could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 160.0 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long w
DochEvi [55]

Scobie will take 10 days to drive around Earth's equator.

To calculate the time that takes Scobie to drive around Earth's equator we need to find the distance, which is given by the equation of a circumference:

d = 2\pi r

<em>Where:</em>

r: is the Earth's radius = 6371 km

Then, the distance is:

d = 2\pi r = 2\pi*6371 km = 40030.2 km

Now, if we divide the above distance by the speed of the car we can find the time:

t = \frac{d}{v} = \frac{40030.2 km}{160.0 km/h} = 250.2 h*\frac{1 d}{24 h} = 10 d

Therefore, Scobie will take 10 days to drive around Earth's equator.
