Answer:

1.38 x 10^-18 J

Explanation:

q = - 1.6 x 10^-19 C

d = 5 x 10^-10 m

the potential energy of the system gives the value of work done

The formula for the potential energy is given by

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

So, the total potential energy of teh system is

U =\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}+\frac{Kq_{2}q_{3}}{d}+\frac{Kq_{1}q_{3}}{d}

As all the charges are same and the distance between the two charges is same so the total potential energy becomes

U =3\times \frac{Kq^{2}}{d}

K = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

By substituting the values

U =3\times \frac{9\times 10^{9}\times \ 1.6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-38}}{5\times 10^{-10}}

U = 1.38 x 10^-18 J

Define alpha and beta​
elena55 [62]

alpha is the excess return on an investment after adjusting for market related volatility and random fluctuations.

beta is a measure of volatility relative to a benchmark ,such as the S&P 500.

Explanation:

alpha and beta are two different parts of an equation used to explain the performance of stocks and investments funds. But in maths alpha and beta is the Greek alphabet

Barney walks at a velocity of 1.7 meters/second on an inclined plane, which has an angle of 18.5° with the ground. What is the h
Viktor [21]
The velocities and the speed build a triangle, where the 1.7 m/s are the hypotenuse and the x-velocity and y-velocity are the other sides. 

<span>So the x-velocity is: speed*cos(angle) </span>

<span>now plug in </span>
<span>x=1.7 m/s * cos(18.5)=1.597 m/s </span>

If an electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 9.9 kV, what is its resulting speed
beks73 [17]

Answer:

v = 5.9 x 10⁷ m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the electron in terms of potential difference is given as:

K.E = eV--------------- equation (1)

where,

e = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

V = Potential Difference = 9.9 KV = 9900 Volts

The kinetic energy in general is given as:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\--------- equation (2)

where,

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v = speed of electron = ?

Therefore, comparing equation (1) and equation (2), we get:

\\\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = eV\\\\\frac{1}{2}(9.1\ x\ 10^{-31}\ kg)v^{2} = (1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)(9900\ volts)\\\\v = \sqrt{34.81\ x\ 10^{14}} \\

<u>v = 5.9 x 10⁷ m/s</u>
