Answer:

Change in electric potential energy ∆E = 365.72 kJ

Explanation:

Electric potential energy can be defined mathematically as:

E = kq1q2/r ....1

k = coulomb's constant = 9.0×10^9 N m^2/C^2

q1 = charge 1 = -2.1C

q2 = charge 2 = -5.0C

∆r = change in distance between the charges

r1 = 420km = 420000m

r2 = 160km = 160000m

From equation 1

∆E = kq1q2 (1/r2 -1/r1) ......2

Substituting the given values

∆E = 9.0×10^9 × -2.1 ×-5.0(1/160000 - 1/420000)

∆E = 94.5 × 10^9 (3.87 × 10^-6) J

∆E = 365.72 × 10^3 J

∆E = 365.72 kJ

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

9) This is a case of deceleration

10)-0.8 ms-2

b) acceleration is the change in velocity with time

11)

a) 100 ms-1

b) 100 seconds

12) 10ms-1

13) more information is needed to answer the question

14) - 0.4 ms^-2

15) 0.8 ms^-2

Explanation:

The deceleration is;

v-u/t

v= final velocity

u= initial velocity

t= time taken

20-60/50 =- 40/50= -0.8 ms-2

11)

Since it starts from rest, u=0 hence

v= u + at

v= 10 ×10

v= 100 ms-1

b)

v= u + at but u=0

1000 = 10 t

t= 1000/10

t= 100 seconds

12) since the sprinter must have started from rest, u= 0

v= u + at

v= 5 × 2

v= 10ms-1

14)

v- u/t

10 - 20/ 25

10/25

=- 0.4 ms^-2

15)

a=v-u/t

From rest, u=0

8 - 0/10

a= 8/10

a= 0.8 ms^-2

Marrrta [24]
Efficiency- How much energy is wasted and how much useful energy is produced
Money- How expensive to install them
Location- She has to consider the location where she places them so that there is enough sunlight and light energy for the solar panels, obviously she should have solar panels if the location receives a sufficient amount of sunlight
