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.

An engine absorbs 1749 J from a hot reservoir and expels 539 J to a cold reservoir in each cycle. a. What is the engine’s effici
Masja [62]

Answer:

a)η = 69.18 %

b)W= 1210 J

c)P=3967.21 W

Explanation:

Given that

Q₁ = 1749 J

Q₂ = 539  J

From first law of thermodynamics

Q₁   = Q₂ +W

W=Work out put

Q₂=Heat rejected to the cold reservoir

Q₁ =heat absorb by hot  reservoir

W= Q₁- Q₂

W= 1210 J

The efficiency given as

\eta=\dfrac{W}{Q_1}

\eta=\dfrac{1210}{1749}

\eta=0.6918

η = 69.18 %

We know that rate of work done is known as power

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

P=\dfrac{1210}{0.305}\ W

P=3967.21 W

aksik [14]

Answer:C) car X

Explanation:

Given

All the cars have identical Engine thus Force Produced by car X will be equal to  Y and Z

and Force=mass\times acceleration

Since Car X is most massive so acceleration associated with it will be minimum

acceleration of car X is minimum thus it will travel farthest
