Three equal point charges, each with charge 1.15 μCμC , are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose sides are of

length 0.700 mm . What is the electric potential energy UUU of the system? (Take as zero the potential energy of the three charges when they are infinitely far apart.) Use ϵ0ϵ0epsilon_0 = 8.85×10−12 C2N⋅m2C2N⋅m2 for the permittivity of free space.

Answer:

U=50.96J

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential energy for pair of charge is given by

U=1/4π∈₀×(q₁q₂/r)

Hence for a system of three charges the electrostatic potential energy can be found by adding up the potential energy for all possible pairs or charges.For three equal charges on the corners of an equilateral triangle,the electrostatic potential energy is given by:

U=1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)+1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)+1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)

U=3×1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)

Substitute given values

So

U=3\frac{1}{4\pi E_{o} }\frac{q^{2} }{r}\\  U=3\frac{1}{4\pi8.85*10^{-12} }\frac{(1.15*10^{-6}C )^{2} }{0.0007m}\\  U=50.96J

Thermal Conductors don't have to be hot to transfer heat, explain a situation when a ice cube would still transfer heat to anoth
barxatty [35]
An ice cube would transfer heat to another object whose temperature
is lower than zero°C (32°F).

A block of "dry ice" is sitting there at a temperature of -78°C (-109°F).
An ice cube helps to melt dry ice nice and fast.

If you could find a block of solid nitrogen, its temperature would be
63K (-210°C, -346°F).  An ice cube would transfer heat to that baby
so fast that it would instantly boil.

With regard to pneumatic mechanical devices which afford protection against the formation of ice, which of the following stateme
Andreyy89

Answer:

the answer is The pneumatic mechanical device can only be used as a de-icing device.

Explanation:

An ice protection system prevents the formation of ice, or enables the aircraft to shed the ice before it can grow to a dangerous thickness. Ice protection systems are designed to keep atmospheric ice from accumulating on aircraft surfaces such as wings, propellers and engine intakes.

The pneumatic mechanical device is the Pneumatic deicing boots which was invented by the Goodrich Corporation in 1923. The pneumatic boot is usually made of layers of rubber, with one or more air chambers between the layers.

Any design which utilizes either a mechanical means of breaking the bond of ice to the surface, or which operates on a periodic cycle, is necessarily a de-ice system.
