Answer:

The distance separating the two particles when the moving particle is momentarily stopped is 0.947 m

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge = 40 μC

Second charge = 80 μC

Distance between the two particles = 2.0 m

Kinetic energy = 16 J

We need to calculate the distance separating the two particles when the moving particle is momentarily stopped

Using conservation of energy

K.E+\dfrac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}=\dfrac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{x}+K.E

Put the value into the formula

16+\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times40\times10^{-6}\times80\times10^{-6}}{2}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times40\times10^{-6}\times80\times10^{-6}}{x}+0

16+14.4=\dfrac{28.8}{x}

30.4x=28.8

x=\dfrac{28.8}{30.4}

x=0.947\ m

Hence, The distance separating the two particles when the moving particle is momentarily stopped is 0.947 m

Suppose that a particular artillery piece has a range R = 9880 yards . Find its range in miles. Use the facts that 1mile=5280ft
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

If you do it in steps

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd = 29640 ft

R = 29640 ft / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

Are the units of the formula ma = mv2/2 dimensionally consistent? Select the single best answer.
Vesnalui [34]

To solve the problem we will simply perform equivalence between both expressions. We will proceed to place your units and develop your internal operations in case there is any. From there we will compare and look at its consistency

ma = \text{Mass}\times \text{Acceleration}

ma = kg \cdot \frac{m}{s^2}

At the same time we have that

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \text{Mass}\times \text{Velocity}^2

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg ( \frac{m}{s})^2

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg \cdot \frac{m^2}{s^2}

Therefore there is not have same units and both are not consistent and the correct answer is B.
