Two protons are released from rest, one from location 1 and another from location 2. When these two protons reach location 3, th

e first proton has a speed that is 2 times the speed of the second proton. If the electric potentials at locations 1 and 2 are 231 V and 115 V, respectively, what is the electric potential at location 3?

Answer:

76.66V

Explanation:

Accorging to law of conservation of energy:

\Delta E=0\\E_f=E_i\\K_f+U_f=K_i+U_i}

Since the protons are released from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero and the electric potencial energy is given by: U=qV

Now from U_f-U_i=-K_f, we have:

U_3-U_1=-K_1\\q(V_3-V_1)=-\frac{mv_1^2}{2}\\U_3-U_2=-K_2\\q(V_3-V_2)=-\frac{mv_2^2}{2}\\

Recall that v_1=2v_2, replacing:

q(V_3-V_1)=-\frac{m(2v_2)^2}{2}\\q(V_3-V_1)=-\frac{4mv_2^2}{2}\\q(V_3-V_1)=-4K_2(1)\\q(V_3-V_2)=-K_2(2)

Rewriting (1) for -K_2:

q(V_3-V_1)=-4K_2\\-K_2=\frac{q(V_3-V_1)}{4}(3)\\

Now, equaling (2) and (3):

q(V_3-V_2)=\frac{q(V_3-V_1)}{4}

Finally, rewriting for V_3

(V_3-V_2)=\frac{V_3-V_1}{4}\\4V_3-4V_2-V_3=-V_1\\3V_3=4V_2-V_1\\V_3=\frac{4V_2-V_1}{3}\\V_3=\frac{4(115V)-231V}{3}\\V_3=76.66V

Which temperature scale has the highest value for the boiling point of water?
drek231 [11]

Answer: The correct answer is kelvin.

Explanation:

The expression for the conversion of degree Celsius to Kelvin is as follows:

K= 273 + degree Celsius

The expression for the conversion of degree Celsius to Fahrenheit is as follows:

F=(Degree Celsius\times \frac{9}{5})+ 32

The freezing point of water on Celsius degree is zero degree Celsius. The freezing point on kelvin scale is 273.15 K.

The boiling point of water on Celsius degree is 100 degree Celsius. The boiling point on kelvin scale is 373.15 K.  The boiling point on Fahrenheit scale is 373.15 K.

Therefore, Kelvin scale has the highest value for the boiling point of water.
