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

A 0.35-kgkg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.4 mm apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave trav
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The tension in the string is T = 1.49*10^{-6}N.

Explanation:

For a string with tension T and linear density \mu_d carrying a transverse wave at speed v it is true that

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_d} }

solving for T we get:

T = \dfrac{v^2}{\mu_d}.

Now, the transverse wave covers the distance of 7.4mm in 0.88s, which means it's speed is

v =\dfrac{7.4*10^{-3}m}{0.88s} \\\\v = 8.4*10^{-3}s

And it's linear density (mass per unit length) is

\mu_d = \dfrac{0.35kg}{7.4*10^{-3}m} \\\\\mu_d = 47.3kg/m

Therefore, the tension in the cord is

T = \dfrac{(8.4*10^{-3}m/s^2)^2}{47.3kg/m}.

\boxed{T = 1.5*10^{-6}N}

or in micro newtons

T =1.5\mu N

Which of two factors influence the weight of an object due to gravitational pull?
densk [106]
The weight of an object when calculated by multiplying with the pull of the gravity is dependent on the mass of the object and the value of g. The value of g is constant however is still dependent on the distance of the object from the center of the Earth. Thus, the answers are <em>mass and distance. </em>
