Two charges, one of 2.50μC and the other of -3.50μC, are placed on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at x = 0.600 m

aev [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

charge of first body $q_1=2.5\ mu C$

charge of second body $q_2=-3.5\ mu C$

Particle 1 is at origin and particle 2 is at $x=0.6\ m$

third Particle which charge +q must be placed left of $2.5\mu C$ because it will repel the q charge while $-3.5\mu C$ will attract it

suppose it is placed at a distance of x m

$F_{1q}=\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}$

$F_{2q}=\frac{kq(-3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}$

$F_{1q}+F_{2q}=0$

$\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}+\frac{kq(-3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}=0$

$\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}=\frac{kq(3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}$

$\frac{0.6+x}{x}=(\frac{3.5}{2.5})^{0.5}$

$0.6+x=1.1832x$

$x=3.27\ m$

What speed would a proton need to achieve in order to circle Earth 1790 km above the magnetic equator, where the Earth's mag- ne

irinina [24]

Answer:

The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance $h= 1790 km = 1.790\times10^{6}\ m$

Magnetic field $B=4\times10^{-8}\ T$

Mass of proton $m=1.673\times10^{-21}\ Kg$

Radius of earth $R =6.38\times10^{6}\ m$

Radius of orbit $r=R+h$

$r=6.38\times10^{6}+1.790\times10^{6}$

$r=8170000\ m$

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of magnetic field

$Bvq=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$v=\dfrac{Bqr}{m}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{4\times10^{-8}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times8170000}{1.673\times10^{-21}}$

$v=31.25\ m/s$

Hence, The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

A 160.-kilogram space vehicle is traveling along a straight line at a constant speed of 800. Meters per second. The magnitude of

natulia [17]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

As force acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

Acceleration is equal to rate of change in velocity.

Here velocity is constant so acceleration is zero.

It means the net force acting on the vehicle is zero.

A capacitor of capacitance C has charge Q and stored energy is U if the charge is increased to 2Q then energy will be A)4U B)2U

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

W = Vq

q = CV

W = V.CV

W = CV²

W/C = V²

V = √(W/C)

√(W1/C1) = √(W2/C2)

√(u/c) = √(x/2c)

x = 2u

Identify which one is chemical change, chemical property,physical change and physical property

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Heat conductivity: Physical property

Silver tarnishing: chemical change

Sublimation: physical change

Magnetizing steel: physical property

Length of a metal object: physical property

Shortening melting: physical property

exploding dynamite: chemical change

combustible: chemical property

water freezing: physical change

Acid resistance: chemical property

brittleness: physical property

milk souring: chemical change

baking bread: chemical change

Explanation:

First you need to understand the differences between physical and chemical change; physical and chemical property.

<u>Physical properties vs chemical properties:</u>

Physical properties are properties that you can observe without changing the substance's composition. This means you can measure these properties without changing them chemically.

Chemical properties, on the other hand, are properties are not as direct. These properties are generally determined by the way the react with other substances changing their composition.

<u>Physical changes vs chemical changes:</u>

A substance that undergoes physical change does not change in chemical composition. They may look physically different in terms of size and shape, but overall, their chemical composition remains constant. The best example would be water. Water can change phases, from solid to liquid when they melt. Essentially, they look like different substances, but the change is only physical and not chemical.

Chemical change, is different by the fact that they change in chemical composition. Bonds are broken and/or made through the reaction, which changes them not only physically but chemically as well. Some of the most indicative signs of a chemical change occurring are: change in color, odor, production of gas, production of light/heat.
