For the PE formula, why is the height required for calculations? Why do we need to know the height in order to determine PE? *

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Answer in Explanation

Explanation:

Whenever we talk about the gravitational potential energy, it means the energy stored in a body due to its position in the gravitational field. Now, we know that in the gravitational field the work is only done when the body moves vertically. If the body moves horizontally on the same surface in the Earth's Gravitational Field, then the work done on the body is considered to be zero. Hence, the work done or the energy stored in the object while in the gravitational field is only possible if it moves vertically. This vertical distance is referred to as height. <u>This is the main reason why we require height in the P.E formula and calculations.</u>

The derivation of this formula is as follows:

Work = Force * Displacement

For gravitational potential energy:

Work = P.E

Force = Weight = mg

Displacement = Vertical Displacement = Height = h

Therefore,

P.E = mgh

At what distance from Earth does the force of gravity exerted by Earth on the coasting spacecraft cancel the force of gravity ex

telo118 [61]

Answer:

346 * 10⁶ m

Explanation:

The force of gravity of the earth that will cancel the the force of gravity exerted by the moon will be equal to each other

Let $F_{e}$ be the force of gravity exerted by the earth

and let $F_{m}$ be the force of gravity exerted by the moon

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force of attraction between two different masses, m₁ and m₂ separated by a distance, d, is given by:

$F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{d^{2} }$

Mass of the earth, $m_{e} = 5.97 * 10^{24} kg$

Mass of the moon, $m_{m} = 7.348 * 10^{22} kg$

Mass of the satellite, $m_{s} = ?$

$F_{e} = \frac{G*5.97 * 10^{24} M }{d^{2} }$ ...............................(1)

The earth and the moon are separated by a distance, 3.844 * 10⁸ m

$F_{m} = \frac{G*7.348 * 10^{22} M }{(3.844 * 10^{8} - d) ^{2} }$ ............................(2)

Equating equations (1) and (2)

$\frac{5.97 * 10^{24} }{d^{2} } = \frac{7.348 * 10^{24} }{(3.844* 10^{8} -d)^{2} }$

$(5.97 * 10^{24})(14.78 * 10^{16} -7.688*10^{8}d + d^{2}) = 7.348 * 10^{24} d^{2} \\88.24*10^{40} - 45.9 * 10^{32}d + 5.97 * 10^{24}d^{2} = 7.348 * 10^{24} d^{2}\\ 1.378 * 10^{24}d^{2} + 45.9 * 10^{32}d + 88.24*10^{40} = 0\\$

Factorising out $10^{24}$

$1.378d^{2} + 45.9 * 10^{8}d + 88.24*10^{16} = 0$

Solving for d in the quadratic equation above:

d = 346 * 10⁶ m

A 10-cm-long thin glass rod uniformly charged to 8.00 nCnC and a 10-cm-long thin plastic rod uniformly charged to - 8.00 nCnC ar

ch4aika [34]

Complete Question

A 10-cm-long thin glass rod uniformly charged to 8.00 nC and a 10-cm

long thin plastic rod uniformly charged to -8.00 nC are placed side by

side, 4.20 cm apart. What are the electric field strengths E_1 to E_3 at

distances 1.0 cm, 2.0 cm, and 3.0 cm from the glass rod along the line

connecting the midpoints of the two rods

a.) Specify the electric field strength E1

b.) Specify the electric field strength E2

c.) Specify the electric field strength E3

Answer:

$E_1=7.13*10^5 N/C$

$E_2= 2.95*10^{5} N/C$

$E_3= 3.84*10^5 N/C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the thin glass is $L = 10 cm$

The charge on the glass rod is $q_g = 8.00nC = 8* 10^{-9} C$

The length of the plastic rod is $L_p = 10cm$

The charge on the plastic rod is $q_p =- 8.00nC = -8.0*10^{-9}C$

The distance between the materials is $d = 4.20cm = \frac{4.2}{100} =0.042m$

The various distances to obtain electric field of are $r_1 = 1.0cm$

$r_2 = 2.0cm$

$r_3 = 3.0cm$

The objective of the solution is to obtain the electric field $E_1 , E_2 \ and E_3$ at distance $d_1 , d_2 \ and \ d_3$ from the glass rod along the line connecting its mid point

Generally electric field of a charge rod at a distance of r the line dividing the rod into half is mathematically represented as

$E = k \frac{2Q}{r\sqrt{L^2 + 4r^2} }$

For the $r_2 = 1.0cm = \frac{1}{100} = 0.01m$

The electric filed by the positively charge glass rod on the left side of the dividing line is mathematically represented as

$E_l = k \frac{2Q }{r \sqrt{L^2 + 4r^2_1} }$

The electric filed by the positively charge glass rod on the right side of the dividing line is mathematically represented as

$E_r = k \frac{2Q }{(0.044 - r_1) \sqrt{L^2 + 4r^2_1} }$

The net electric field is,

$E_{net} =E_1= E_l + E_r$

$= k \frac{2Q}{r_1\sqrt{L^2 + 4 r^2_1 } } + k \frac{2Q}{(0.04-r_1) \sqrt{L^2 + 4 (0.044 -r_1)^2} }$

Where k is know as the coulomb's constant with a constant value of

$k = 9*10^9 \ kgm^3 s^{-4} A^{-2}$

$=(9*10^9) \frac{(2) (8*10^{-9})}{(0.01)\sqrt{(0.01^2 + 4(0.01)^2)} } + (9* 10^9 ) \frac{(2)(8*10^{-9})}{(0.0420 - 0.01)\sqrt{(0.01)^2 + (4) (0.042 - 0.01)^2} }$

$= 6.44*10^5 + 6.9*10^4$

$E_1=7.13*10^5 N/C$

For the $r_2 = 2.0cm = \frac{2}{100} = 0.02m$

The electric filed by the positively charge glass rod on the left side of the dividing line is mathematically represented as

$E_l = k \frac{2Q }{r_2 \sqrt{L^2 + 4r^2_2} }$

The electric filed by the positively charge glass rod on the right side of the dividing line is mathematically represented as

$E_r = k \frac{2Q }{(0.044 - r_2) \sqrt{L^2 + 4r^2_2} }$

The net electric field is,

$E_{net} =E_2= E_l + E_r$

$= k \frac{2Q}{r_2\sqrt{L^2 + 4 r^2_2 } } + k \frac{2Q}{(0.04-r_2) \sqrt{L^2 + 4 (0.044 -r_2)^2} }$

Where k is know as the coulomb's constant with a constant value of

$k = 9*10^9 \ kgm^3 s^{-4} A^{-2}$

$=(9*10^9) \frac{(2) (8*10^{-9})}{(0.02)\sqrt{(0.02^2 + 4(0.02)^2)} } + (9* 10^9 ) \frac{(2)(8*10^{-9})}{(0.0420 - 0.02)\sqrt{(0.02)^2 + (4) (0.042 - 0.02)^2} }$

$= 1.6*10^{5}+ 1.3*10^{5}$

$E_2= 2.95*10^{5} N/C$

For the $r_3 = 3.0cm = \frac{3}{100} = 0.03m$

The electric filed by the positively charge glass rod on the left side of the dividing line is mathematically represented as

$E_l = k \frac{2Q }{r_3 \sqrt{L^2 + 4r^2_3} }$

The electric filed by the positively charge glass rod on the right side of the dividing line is mathematically represented as

$E_r = k \frac{2Q }{(0.044 - r_3) \sqrt{L^2 + 4r^2_3} }$

The net electric field is,

$E_{net} =E_3= E_l + E_r$

$= k \frac{2Q}{r_3\sqrt{L^2 + 4 r^2_3 } } + k \frac{2Q}{(0.04-r_3) \sqrt{L^2 + 4 (0.044 -r_3)^2} }$

Where k is know as the coulomb's constant with a constant value of

$k = 9*10^9 \ kgm^3 s^{-4} A^{-2}$

$=(9*10^9) \frac{(2) (8*10^{-9})}{(0.03)\sqrt{(0.03^2 + 4(0.03)^2)} } + (9* 10^9 ) \frac{(2)(8*10^{-9})}{(0.0420 - 0.03)\sqrt{(0.03)^2 + (4) (0.042 - 0.03)^2} }$
