A particle (charge = 40 μC) moves directly toward a second particle (charge = 80 μC) which is held in a fixed position. At an in

stant when the distance between the two particles is 2.0 m, the kinetic energy of the moving particle is 16 J. Determine the distance separating the two particles when the moving particle is momentarily stopped.

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

The magnetic north pole changes location but the geographic north pole does not true or false
a_sh-v [17]
The North Magnetic Pole is the point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic field points vertically downwards (in other words, if a magnetic compass needle is allowed to rotate about a horizontal axis, it will point straight down). There is only one location where this occurs, near (but distinct from) the Geographic North Pole and the Geomagnetic North Pole. So yes true

Find the difference between two masses measured as 123.6 grams and 115.972 grams. Express the answer to the correct number of si
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The difference is 7.6 grams.

Explanation:

In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:

         

a-b

So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.

Therefore, it is get:

123.6grams-115.972grams = 7.6grams

<u>Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams. </u>

The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.          

 

Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:

7.6grams . \frac{1Kg}{1000grams} ⇒ 7.6x10^{-3}Kg

What is it about copper that makes it a good conductor
natta225 [31]
It’s because conductors have nearly zero resistance to the flow of electrons that go through them. This leaves the electrons free to move and current can travel with full strength.
