Answer:

x = 1.00486 m

Explanation:

The complete question is:

" The potential energy between two atoms in a particular molecule has the form U(x) =(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4 where the units of x are length and the num- bers 2.6 and 5.1 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What is the equilibrium separation of the atoms (that is the distance at which the force between the atoms is zero)?  "

Solution:

- The correlation between force F and energy U is given as:

                                  F = - dU / dx

                                  F = - d[(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4] / dx  

                                  F = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5

- The equilibrium separation distance between atoms is given when Force F is zero:

                                  0 = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5

                                  0 = 20.8 - 20.4*x^4

                                  x^4 = 20.8/20.4

                                  x = ( 20.8/20.4 )^0.25

                                  x = 1.00486 m

A square plate of copper with 47.0 cm sides has no net charge and is placed ina region of uniform electric field of 75.0 kN/C di
timurjin [86]

Answer:

(a) Charge density σ=6.6375×10²nC/m²

(b) Total charge Q=1.47×10²nC

Explanation:

Given Data

A=47.0 cm =0.47 m

Electric field E=75.0 kN/C

To find

(a) Charge density σ

(b)Total Charge Q

Solution

For (a) charge density σ

From Gauss Law we know that

Φ=Q/ε₀.......eq(i)

Where

Φ is electric flux

Q is charge

ε₀ is permittivity of space

And from the definition of flux

Φ = EA

The flux is  electric field passing  perpendicularly through the surface

Put the this Φ in equation(i)

EA =Q/ε₀

where Q(charge)=σA

EA=(σA)/ε₀

E=σ/ε₀

σ=ε₀E

=(8.85*10^{-12} )*(75.0*10^{3} )\\=6.6375*10^{-7} C/m^{2}\\=6.63*10^{2}nC/m^{2}

σ=6.6375×10²nC/m²

For (b) total charge Q

Q=σA

Q=(6.6375*10^{2} nC/m^{2} )(0.47m)^{2}\\ Q=1.47**10^{2}nC

Find the net force of the box and the acceleration. 10 points. Will give brainliest.
zysi [14]

Answer:

38.6 N

2.57 m/s²

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the box.  There are four forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing up,

Friction force Nμ pushing left,

and applied force P pulling at an angle 40°.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N + P sin 40° − mg = 0

N = mg − P sin 40°

The net force in the x direction is:

∑F = P cos 40° − Nμ

∑F = P cos 40° − (mg − P sin 40°) μ

∑F = P cos 40° − mgμ + Pμ sin 40°

∑F = P (cos 40° + μ sin 40°) − mgμ

Plugging in values:

∑F = (80 N) (cos 40° + 0.23 sin 40°) − (15 kg) (10 m/s²) (0.23)

∑F = 38.6 N

Net force equals mass times acceleration:

∑F = ma

38.6 N = (15 kg) a

a = 2.57 m/s²

The kinetic energy gets faster as the atoms move faster.  Atoms move faster when heat is applied and more slower when they cool.

IrinaK [193]
The size of the forces between you and the planet you're on is
your weight on that planet.

Don't forget that you pull the planet with a force equal to the force
that the planet pulls on you.  Your weight on Earth is the same as
the Earth's weight on you !
