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.

It has been hypothesized, and some studies have supported the conjecture,
that certain species of insects and birds are able to sense the direction of external
magnetic fields.

I don't think there is any such notion where human beings are concerned.

You need to push a heavy box across a rough floor, and you want to minimize the average force applied to the box during the time
7nadin3 [17]

When pushing the body it is necessary to break the frictional force generated by the floor. Once this frictional force is overcome, the body will begin to move. Ideally, if a constant velocity is maintained or close to this value, the acceleration that will be exerted will tend to be zero and therefore, by Newton's second law the value of the Force will also tend to minimum values.

Remember that this law tells us that

F= ma

F= m \frac{\Delta v}{t}

Therefore the best strategy is A. keep pushing the box forward at a steady speed

You are given a material which produces no initial magnetic field when in free space. When it is placed in a region of uniform m
seropon [69]

Answer:

This material exhibits paramagnetism.

Explanation:

A paramagnetic material has these features: It doesn’t have any magnetic properties when placed in an external magnetic field, it gains and then loses the magnetic property as the external field is removed.

Such materials have magnetic moments oriented in random directions, thus making the net magnetic moment, zero. But when placed in an external field, they do possess a net magnetic moment. When the magnetic field is removed, they lose the magnetic property.

Thus, the material which produces no initial magnetic field when placed in a uniform magnetic field produces an additional internal magnetic field parallel to the original field. Also, it loses the magnetic properties as soon as the external magnetic field is removed. Then, the magnetism the material exhibits is paramagnetic.
