Answer:

Distance between two point charges, r = 0.336 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, q_1=-7.8\ \mu C=-7.8\times 10^{-6}\ C

Charge 2, q_2=2.4\ \mu C=2.4\times 10^{-6}\ C

Electric potential energy, U = -0.5 J

The electric potential energy at a point r is given by :

U=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r}

r=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{U}

r=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{-7.8\times 10^{-6}\times 2.4\times 10^{-6}}{-0.5}

r = 0.336 meters

So, the distance between two point charges is 0.336 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

What happens to the average kinetic energy of water molecules as water freezes? It decreases as the water absorbs energy from it
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:the average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature . When water freezes, the temperature decreases and therefore, the average kinetic energy will also decreases as well.
