A fixed particle with charge –8.8 nC and a second particle with charge –4.3 nC, respectively, are initially separated by a dista

nce of 0.11 m. They are released and the second particle moves 0.030 m. A) What is the change in electric potential energy? B) Did the second particle move toward or away from the source charge?

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.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Possible options:

A. nA, nC, nB

B. nA, nB, nC

C. nC, nB, nA

D. nC, nA, nB

E. nB, nA, nC

Answer is D

Explanation:

When the light is refracted into liquid B it is bent away from the normal, so that nA > nB. When the light is refracted into liquid C it is bent toward the normal, so that nC > nA. Therefore, we conclude that nC > nA > nB

Which of the following statements is true about the variation of pressure in function of the depth? O Pressure decreases exponen
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The answer is: Pressure increases linearly with the depth

Explanation:

In this case, the definition of pressure is:

P = \frac{F}{A}

where F = mg is the weight of the fluid over the body, and A is the area of the surface to which the force is exerted. If we consider \rho = m/V, then

P = \frac{mg}{A} = \frac{\rho Vg}{A}.

Volume can be expressed as V = A*h, where A is the cross section of the column of the fluid over the body and h is the height of the column, in other words, the depth.

So

P = \frac{A\rho gh}{A}= \rho g h,

which means that pressure increases linearly with the depth in a factor of \rho g.

Learning Goal: To understand the concept of moment of inertia and how it depends on mass, radius, and mass distribution.
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

 m₂ = 4 kg

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is defined by

         I = ∫ r² dm

for bodies with high symmetry it is tabulated, for a spherical shell

        I = 2/3 m r²

in this case the first sphere has a radius of r₁ = 2m and a mass of m₁ = 1 kg, the second sphere has a radius r₂ = 1m.

They ask what is the masses of the second spherical shell so that the moment of inertia of the two is the same.

        I₁ = ⅔ m₁ r₁²

        I₂ = ⅔ m₂ r₂²

They ask that the two moments have been equal

        I₁ = I₂

        ⅔ m₁ r₁² = ⅔ m₂ r₂²

         m₂ = (r₁ / r₂) ² m₁

let's calculate

         m₂ = (2/1) ² 1

         m₂ = 4 kg
