A point charge q1 = 4.10 nC is placed at the origin, and a second point charge q2 = -2.90 nC is placed on the x-axis at x = + 20

.0 cm. A third point charge q3 = 2.00 nC is to be placed on the x-axis between q1 and q2. (Take as zero the potential energy of the three charges when they are infinitely far apart.)
1. What is the potential energy of the system of the three charges if q3 is placed at x = + 11.0 cm?2. Where should q3 be placed between q1 and q2 to make the potential energy of the system equal to zero?

Answer:

1) U = -4.436 10-7 J , 2) r13 = 0.6937 m

Explanation:

The electric potential energy is given by the equation

U = k Σ $q_{i}$ $q_{j}$ / $r_{ij}$

1. Let's apply this equation to our case

U = k (q1q3 / r13 + q1 q2 / r12 + q2 q3 / r23)

Let's reduce all magnitudes to the SI system

q1 = 4.10 nC = 4.10 10-9 C

q2 = -2.90 nC = -2.90 10-09 C

q3 = 2.00 nC = 2.00 10-9 C

Let's look for the distances

r13 = 11-0 = 11 cm = 11 10-2 m

r12 = 20-0 = 20 cm = 20 10-2 m

r23 = 20 -11 = 9 cm = 9.0 10-2 m

Let's calculate the electric potential

U = 8.99 109 [(4.10 2.00) 10-18 / 11 10-2 + (4.10 (-2.90)) 10-18 / 20 10-2 + (-2.90 2.00) 10-18 / 9.0 10-2]

U = 8.99 [0.7455 - 0.5945 - 0.6444) 10-7

U = -4.436 10-7 J

2. ask to find the position of q3 for the energy to be zero

U = 0 = k (q1q3 / r13 + q1 q2 / r12 + q2 q3 / r23)

In this case the distance between 1 and 2 is fixed, since the load that is placed is 3

q1 q2 / r12 = - q1 q3 / r13 - q2 q3 / r23

-11.89 10-18 / 20 10-2 = -8.20 10-18 / r13 + 5.810-18 / r23

-0.5945 102 = -8.20 / r13 + 5.810 / r23

Let's relate the distances, the maximum separation esr12 which is 20 10-2 m

r12 = r13 + r23

r13 = r12 -r23

r13 = 2010-2 - r23

we replace

-0.5945 102 = -8.20 / (20 10-2 - r23) + 5.810 / r23

Let's solve this equation

-0.5945 102 (2010-2 - r23) = -8.20 r23 + 5.810 (2010-2 - r23)

- 11.89 + 0.5945 r23 = -8.20 r23 + 1,162 - 5,810 r23

-11.89 - 1,162 = - 8.20 r23 -5,810 r23 - 0.5945 r23

-13.052 = r23 (-14.6045)

r23 = 13.052 / 14.6045

r23 = 0.8937 m

The distance from the origin is

r13 = -r12 + r23

r13 = -20 10-2 + 0.8937

r13 = 0.6937 m

What is the formula for convection?

Tju [1.3M]

Convection is transfer of heat between a solid and a moving fluid. Boiling or condensing processes are example for convection processes.

The formula for convection is:

<span>q = hc A dT</span>

where

<span>hc is convective heat transfer coefficient of the process (W/(m2K) or W/(m2oC <span>q
</span>A<span> is the heat transfer area of the surface (m2, ft2)
</span><span>hc </span><span>= convective heat transfer coefficient of the process (W/(m2K) or W/(m2oC), <span>Btu/(ft2 h oF)</span>)</span><span>q is heat transferred per unit time (W, Btu/hr)</span>dT is the <span>temperature difference between the surface and the bulk fluid (K or oC, F)</span>

(1 point) Answer the following questions about the sphere whose equation is given by x2+y2+z2−4x+4y=73. x2+y2+z2−4x+4y=73. 1. Fi

pychu [463]

Answer:

R=9.

C=(2,-2,0).

Explanation:

Lets try to find how $x^2+y^2+z^2-4x+4y=73$ can be written in the form of $(x-a)^2+(x-b)^2+(x-c)^2=R^2$ , since then its radius R and center of coordinates C=(a,b,c) would be easily recognizable.

Since we have the terms -4x and +4y, they seem to have come from the terms $(x-2)^2$ and $(y+2)^2$ , and we would need to take care of the extra +4 by substracting then. More explicitly:

$(x-2)^2-4=x^2-4x+4-4=x^2-4x$ , as we had originally with the x terms

$(y+2)^2-4=y^2+4y+4-4=y^2+4y$ , as we had originally with the y terms

Which means:

$x^2-4x+y^2+4y+z^2=(x-2)^2-4+(y+2)^2-4+z^2$

Or, putting all together:

$(x-2)^2-4+(y+2)^2-4+z^2=73$

$(x-2)^2+(y+2)^2+z^2=9^2$

So our radius is 9 and the center is (2,-2,0).
