barxatty [35]

Answer:

2.2 meters

Explanation:

Potential energy, PE created by a charge, q at a radius r from the charge source, Q,  is expressed as:

KE=\frac{kQq}{r}\     \ \ \ \ \ \ ...i

k is Coulomb's constant.

#The electric field,E at radius r is expressed as:

E=\frac{kQ}{r^2}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...ii

From i and ii, we have:

KE=Eqr

r=(KE)/Eq

#Substitute actual values in our equation:

r=\frac{75J}{(7.2\times 10^{-5}C)(4.8\times 10^5 V/m)}\\\\=2.1701\approx2.2\ m

Hence, the distance between the charge and the source of the electric field is 2.2 meters

A gas is compressed at constant temperature from a volume of 5.68 L to a volume of 2.35 L by an external pressure of 732 torr. C
Vlada [557]

Answer: The work done in J is 324

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of work done for an isothermal process is given by the equation:

W=-P\Delta V=-P(V_2-V_1)

W = amount of work done = ?

P = pressure = 732 torr = 0.96 atm    (760torr =1atm)

V_1 = initial volume = 5.68 L

V_2 = final volume = 2.35  L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

W=-0.96atm\times (2.35-5.68)L=3.20L.atm

To convert this into joules, we use the conversion factor:

1L.atm=101.33J

So, 3.20L.atm=3.20\times 101.3=324J

The positive sign indicates the work is done on the system

Hence, the work done for the given process is 324 J

What step of the rock cycle happens as the sea stacks are broken down
fiasKO [112]

But rocks are not unchangeable! Just like the water cycle, rocks undergo changes of form in a rock cycle. A metamorphic rock can become an igneous rock, or a sedimentary rock can become a metamorphic one. Unlike the water cycle, you can’t see the process happening on a day-to-day basis. Rocks change very slowly under normal conditions, but sometimes catastrophic events like a volcanic eruption or a flood can speed up the process. So what are the three types of rocks, and how do they change into each other? Keep reading to find out!

3. A fighter jet covers a distance of 895m while accelerating from 22m/s to 35m/s. How long (in
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

31.404 seconds

Explanation:

To answer this equation, SUVAT is your best option utilizing and rearranging the known values to solve for the unknown.

here we have the values for

s=895

u=22

v=35

t= the unknown value

in this instant the equation s=0.5 x (u+v)t is the best equation to use

so we sub in the known values

895=0.5 x (22+35)t

rearrange to solve for t

895=28.5t

895/28.5=t

t=31.404 seconds (rounded to 3 decimal places)
