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

NO LINKS PLEASE. brainly to the best answer.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its movement. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state. While kinetic energy of an object is relative to the state of other objects in its environment, potential energy is completely independent of its environment.

Both energies are related to motion.

Which one of the following statements concerning the momentum of a system when the net force acting on the system is equal to ze
Alex

Answer:

D

Explanation:

According to newton's 2nd law rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied on the body. Since, net Force is zero this means momentum did not change or momentum of the body remained constant.

Hence, the system have constant value of momentum. Therefore, option D is correct.
