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

Angelina jumps off a stool. As she is falling, the Earth’s gravitational force on her is larger in magnitude than the gravitatio
valentinak56 [21]
The answer is True. The amount force exerted by any object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that our planet is exerting more gravitational force to Angelina, and Angelina is also exerting a gravitational force on our planet directly proportional to her mass. Angelina is actually falling towards the center of the earth,and also our planet is also moving towards Angelina, but it seems negligible with respect to Angelina.Our Sun is so massive that it held our planet in its orbit because of its gravitational force.

What is the kinetic energy of a 50-kg child running to catch the school bus at
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Option C

100 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy, KE is given by

KE=0.5mv^{2} where m is the mass and v is the velocity

Substituting 50 Kg for mass, m and 2 m/s for velocity v then we obtain

KE=0.5*50*2^{2}=100 J

Therefore, the child's kinetic energy is equivalent to 100 J

Why echo sound cannot be heard in small room
Art [367]
They can't hear an echo in small room because in it the sound can't be reflected back. For an echo of a sound to be heard,the minimum distance between the source of sound and the walls of the roomshould be 17.2 m. Obviously,in asmall room echoes cannot beheard.

Ron fills a beaker with glycerin (n = 1.473) to a depth of 5.0 cm. if he looks straight down through the glycerin surface, he wi
Tju [1.3M]

By law of refraction we know that image position and object positions are related to each other by following relation

\frac{\mu_1}{h_o} = \frac{\mu_2}{h_i}

here we know that

\mu_1 = 1.473

h_o = 5 cm

\mu_2 = 1

now by above formula

\frac{1.473}{5} = \frac{1}{h_i}

h_i = 3.39 cm

so apparent depth of the bottom is seen by the observer as h = 3.39 cm
