Answer:

9.6kV

Explanation:

Electric potential is given as

V = k*Q/R

Then the Net electric potential at point A due to given two charges will be:

V_net = V1 + V2

V_net = k*q1/r1 + k*q2/r2

q1 = +4.0*10^-6 C & q2 = -2.0*10^-6 C

r1 = distance between q1 and point A = sqrt (3.0^2 + 4.0^2) = 5.0 m

r2 = distance between q2 and point A = 4.0 - (-1.0) = 5.0 m

Thus,

V_net = k*(q1/r1 + q2/r2)

V_net = 9*10^9*(4.0*10^-6/5.0 - 2.0*10^-6/5.0) = 3600 V

V_net = 3.6 k

To calculate electric potential at origin, then

V0_net = k*q1/R1 + k*q2/R2

R1 = 3.0 m & R2 = 1.0 m, then

V0_net = 9*10^9*(4.0*10^-6/3.0 - 2.0*10^-6/1.0) = -6000 V

generally it is assumed that electric potential at origin is zero, but in this case it's mentioned that we need to recalibrate potential at origin to zero

Now since ask that we need electric potential at point A with relative to zero at the origin, So if we re-calibrate electric potential to zero at the origin, then we need to add 6000 V everywhere, therefore

Net electric potential at Point A = V_net - V0_net = 3600 - (-6000) = 9600 V = 9.6 kV

If 36 grams of water is to be heated from 24.0°C to 48°C to make a cup of tea, how much heat must be added? The specific heat of
Vinvika [58]

We will have the following:

\begin{gathered} Q=mc\Delta T\Rightarrow Q=(36)(4.18)(48-24) \\  \\ \Rightarrow Q=3611.52 \end{gathered}

So, the heat to add is 3611.52 Joules.

What is the period of a wave with a frequency of 100 Hz and a wavelength of 2.0 m
spin [16.1K]

The answer for the following answer is answered below.

  • <u><em>Therefore the time period of the wave is 0.01 seconds.</em></u>
  • <u><em>Therefore the option for the answer is "B".</em></u>

Explanation:

Frequency (f):

The number of  waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time.

The SI unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz)

Time period (T):

The time taken for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point.

The SI unit of time period is seconds (s)

Given:

frequency (f) = 100 Hz

wavelength (λ) = 2.0 m

To calculate:

Time period (T)

We know;

According to the formula;

<u>f =</u>\frac{1}{T}<u></u>

Where,

f represents the frequency

T represents the time period

from the formula;

  T = \frac{1}{f}

 T = \frac{1}{100}

  T = 0.01 seconds

<u><em>Therefore the time period of the wave is 0.01 seconds.</em></u>

A ball that is attached to a string travels in a horizontal, circular path, as shown in Figure 1. At time t0 , the ball has a sp
Levart [38]

Answer:

F₁ = 4 F₀

Explanation:

The force applied on the string by the ball attached to it, while in circular motion will be equal to the centripetal force. Therefore, at time t₀, the force on ball F₀ is given as:

F₀ = mv₀²/r   --------------- equation (1)

where,

F₀ = Force on string at t₀

m = mass of ball

v₀ = speed of ball at t₀

r = radius of circular path

Now, at time t₁:

v₁ = 2v₀

F₁ = mv₁²/r

F₁ = m(2v₀)²/r

F₁ = 4 mv₀²/r

using equation (1):

<u>F₁ = 4 F₀</u>
