Answer: The electrostatic potential energy of a particle with a 1− charge separated by 200 pm from a particle with a 1+ charge.

Explanation:  

The formula for the electrostatic potential energy is as follows;

U=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r}

Here, U is the potential energy,q_{1},q_{2} are the charges and r is the distance between them.

Here,k=\frac{1}{4\pi(\epsilon _{0})}

epsilon _{0} is the absolute permittivity of free space.

Calculate the electrostatic potential energy of a particle with a 1− charge separated by 100 pm from a particle with a 3+ charge.  

U=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r}

Put q_{1}=-1, q_{2}=+3,k=k=9\times 10^{9} and r=100 pm.

U=\frac{k(1)(3)}{100 pm}

U=-k0.03

Calculate the electrostatic potential energy of a particle with a 1− charge separated by 100 pm from a particle with a 2+ charge.

U=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r}

Put q_{1}=-1, q_{2}=+2 and r=100 pm.

U=\frac{k(-1)(+2)}{100 pm}

U=-k0.02    

Calculate the electrostatic potential energy of a particle with a 1− charge separated by 200 pm from a particle with a 1+ charge.

U=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r}

Put q_{1}=-1, q_{2}=+1 and r=200 pm.

U=\frac{k(-1)(+1)}{200 pm}

U=-k0.005  

Therefore, the electrostatic potential energy of a particle with a 1− charge separated by 200 pm from a particle with a 1+ charge.

Coulombs law says that the force between any two charges depends on the amount of charges and distance between them. This force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

F=k\frac{|q_1| |q_2|}{r^2}

where q_1\hspace{1mm}and\hspace{1mm}q_2 are charges, r is the distance between them and k is the coulomb constant.

case 1:

q_1=-e\\ q_2=+3e\\ r=100pm\\ \Rightarrow F=k\frac{|-e||3e|}{(100pm)^2}=3ke^2\times10^8

case 2

q_1=-e\\ q_2=+2e\\ r=100pm\\ \Rightarrow F=k\frac{|-e||2e|}{(100pm)^2}=2ke^2\times10^8

case 3:

q_1=-e\\ q_2=+e\\ r=100pm\\ \Rightarrow F=k\frac{|-e||e|}{(200pm)^2}=0.25ke^2\times10^8

Comparing the 3 cases:

The maximum potential force according to coulombs law is between -1 charge and +3 charge separated by a distance of 100 pm.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The speed of the 11.5kg block after the collision is V≅4.1 m/s

Explanation:

ma= 4.8 kg

va1= 7.3 m/s

va2= - 2.5 m/s

mb= 11.5 kg

vb1= 0 m/s

vb2= ?

vb2= ( ma*va1 - ma*va2) / mb

vb2= 4.09 m/s ≅ 4.1 m/s

tiny-mole [99]

-- It takes 100 calories of heat to make 10 grams of the stuff 20° warmer.

How much of the heat warms each gram ?

-- It takes 10 calories of heat to make each gram of the stuff 20° warmer.

How much of the heat warms that gram each degree ?

-- It takes 1/2 calorie of heat to make each gram of the stuff 1° warmer.

The specific heat of that stuff is

(1/2 calorie) per gram per °C.

Elza [17]

Answer:

1923 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 65 Kg

Radius (r) = 2.5 m

Velocity (v) = 8.6 m/s

Centripetal force (F) =?

The centripetal force, F, can be obtained by using the following formula:

F = mv²/r

F = 65 × 8.6² / 2.5

F = 65 × 73.96 / 2.5

F = 4807.4 / 2.5

F = 1922.96 ≈ 1923 N

Thus, the magnitude of the centripetal's force acting on the student is approximately 1923 N

Tony gets stung by an ant. He applies baking soda, a weak base, to the site. What acid is Tony neutralizing with the baking soda
kumpel [21]
That's good !  I never heard of that before.  (Maybe because
I've never been stung by an ant.)

When an ant bites or stings, it injects a tiny amount of 'formic acid'
into your skin.  Soon, the formic acid itches, burns, and stings, and
after a while, a little piece of skin dies and falls off.  Some people
are seriously allergic to it, and it can make them really sick.

'Acids' and 'bases' are opposites, and one can neutralize (cancel out)
the other.  Tony is putting a weak 'base' on the sting, to neutralize the
formic acid that the ant left him as a little gift.
