Two identical particles of charge 6 μμC and mass 3 μμg are initially at rest and held 3 cm apart. How fast will the particles mo

ve when they are allowed to repel and separate to very large (essentially infinite) distance? Now suppose that the two particles have the same charges from the previous problem, but their masses are different. One particle has mass 3 μμg as before, but the other one is heavier, with a mass of 30 μμg. Their initial separation is the same as before. How fast are the particles moving when they are very far apart?

Answer:

Explanation:

The charges will repel each other and go away with increasing velocity , their kinetic energy coming from their potential energy .

Their potential energy at distance d

= kq₁q₂ / d

= 9 x 10⁹ x 36 x 10⁻¹² / 2 x 10⁻² J

= 16.2 J

Their total kinetic energy will be equal to this potential energy.

2 x 1/2 x mv² = 16.2

= 3 x 10⁻⁶ v² = 16.2

v = 5.4 x 10⁶

v = 2.32 x 10³ m/s

When masses are different , total P.E, will be divided between them as follows

K E of 3 μ = (16.2 / 30+3) x 30

= 14.73 J

1/2 X 3 X 10⁻⁶ v₁² = 14.73

v₁ = 3.13 x 10³

K E of 30 μ = (16.2 / 30+3) x 3

= 1.47 J

1/2 x 30 x 10⁻⁶ x v₂² = 1.47

v₂ = .313 x 10³ m/s

When this pendulum swings, at which point is its kinetic energy the<br> highest? *
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The bottom/center of the pendulum

Explanation:

As it swings, the pendulum will have maximum potential energy at the top of its arc.

As it comes back towards the center that potential energy will convert into kinetic energy until it reaches the middle of its swing (when the pendulum is fully vertical) where all potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.

This is when the kinetic energy is the highest

As it begins to move away from the center of its arc, that kinetic energy will convert into potential energy again, and the process repeats

Eva8 [605]

When she starts out, he is (40x2.5)= 100 miles ahead of her.

She gains (65-40)= 25 miles on him every hour.

It takes her (100/25)= 4 hours to catch up to him.

A student is trying to determine the acceleration of a feather as she drops it to the ground. if the student is looking to achie
Anna [14]

The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.

All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.

If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.

Define: New Moon, Full Moon, Waxing phases and Waning phases.
Nutka1998 [239]
Full moon: All of the moon or sun appears covers by the shadow.
When the moon is waxing, it means that the lit part is getting larger (going towards a full moon)
When the moon is waning , it means that the lit part is getting smaller (going towards a new moon)
The new moon represents the start of a new lunar cycle and occurs approximately every 29 days.

Hope that help:)

lana66690 [7]
The height difference is found by
\delta H=400sin(5 \°)=34.86m
Then the change in potential energy is
E=mgh=(80.0kg)(9.8 \frac{kgm}{s^2})(34.86)= 27332J
