Answer:

(a). The change in electric potential energy is 8.3 μJ.

(b).  The second particle moves away from the source charge.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge of first particle = -8.8 nC

Charge of second particle = -4.3 nC

Distance = 0.11 m

They are released and the second particle moves 0.030 m,

(a). We need to calculate the change in electric potential energy

Using formula of potential energy

U=\dfrac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}

Change in potential energy

\Delta U=\dfrac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{d_{2}}-\dfrac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d_{1}}

Put the value into the formula

U=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times(8.8\times10^{-9}\times4.3\times10^{-9})}{0.030}-\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times(8.8\times10^{-9}\times4.3\times10^{-9})}{0.11}

\Delta U=0.000008256\ J

\Delta U=8.3\ \mu J

(B). We need to find the second particle move toward or away from the source charge

We know that,

Both charges are same, so the second particle will be repul from the source charge.

So, The second particle moves away from the source charge.

Hence, (a). The change in electric potential energy is 8.3 μJ.

(b).  The second particle moves away from the source charge.

A baton twirler is twirling her aluminum baton in a horizontal circle at a rate of 2.33 revolutions per second. A baton held hor
Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that;

horizontal circle at a rate of 2.33 revolutions per second

the magnetic field of the Earth is 0.500 gauss

the baton is 60.1 cm in length.

the magnetic field  is oriented at 14.42°

we wil get the area due to rotation of radius of baton is

\Delta A = \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2

The  formula for the induced emf is

E = \frac{\Delta  \phi}{\Delta  t}

\phi  = \texttt {magnetic flux}

E=\frac{\Delta (BA) }{\Delta  t}

=B\frac{\Delta  A}{\Delta  t}

B is the magnetic field strength

substitute

\texttt {substitute}\  \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2 \ \ for \Delta  A

E=B\frac{(\Delta  \theta R^3/2)}{\Delta  t} \\\\=\frac{1}{2} BR^2\omega

The magnetic field of the earth is oriented at 14.42

\omega =2.33\\\\L=60.1c,\\\\\theta=14.42\\\\B=0.5

we plug in the values in the equation above

so, the induce EMF will be

E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)R^2\omega\\\\E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)(\frac{L}{2} )\omega

=\frac{1}{2} \times0.5gauss\times\frac{0.0001T}{1gauss} \times\sin 14.42\times(\frac{60.1\times10^-^2m}{2} )^2(2.33rev/s)(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev} )\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.2490\times0.0903\times14.63982\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.32917\\\\=8.229\times10^-^6V

Describe the difference between a soil horizon and a soil profile
mario62 [17]

Soil profile includes all the sections/ horizons of the vertical soil depth from top to bottom including the transitions from one horizon to another. A soil horizon is a distinct layer/section of soil with more or less the same texture. Therefore, a soil profile is made of soil horizons.

If the given wave has a frequency of 100 Hz, what frequency will the sixth harmonic have?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

600Hz

Explanation:

In electrical systems of alternating current, the harmonics are, as in acoustics, frequencies multiples of the fundamental working frequency of the system and whose amplitude decreases as the multiple increases. For example, if we have systems fed by the 50 Hz network, harmonics of 100, 150, 200, etc. may appear.

In our case having a fundamental wave of 100Hz, I can have harmonics of 200,300,400, ..., 600Hz

I'm a little confused by your question.

If you mean what is popular sovereignty, it is the belief that the governments is made and sustained by the consent of the people that it governs.
