Two equal point charges QQQ are separated by a distance ddd. One of the charges is released and moves away from the other due on

ly to the electrical force between them. When the moving charge is a distance 3ddd from the other charge, what is its kinetic energy?

Answer:

The kinetic energy K of the moving charge is K = 2kQ²/3d = 2Q²/(4πε)3d = Q²/6πεd

Explanation:

The potential energy due to two charges q₁ and q₂ at a distance d from each other is given by U = kq₁q₂/r.

Now, for the two charges q₁ = q₂ = Q separated by a distance d, the initial potential energy is U₁ = kQ²/d. The initial kinetic energy of the system K₁ = 0 since there is no motion of the charges initially. When the moving charge is at a distance of r = 3d, the potential energy of the system is U₂ = kQ²/3d and the kinetic energy is K₂.

From the law of conservation of energy, U₁ + K₁ = U₂ + K₂

So, kQ²/d + 0 = kQ²/3d + K

K₂ = kQ²/d - kQ²/3d = 2kQ²/3d

So, the kinetic energy K₂ of the moving charge is K₂ = 2kQ²/3d = 2Q²/(4πε)3d = Q²/6πεd

Answer:

Matter can be changed, but not created or destroyed.

Explanation:

Matter can change for through physical and chemical changes, though this happens, matter is conserved. The same amount of matter exists before and after the change.

Suppose that a sound wave has a wavelength of 12 meters and a frequency of 100Hz. What is the speed of sound
Vesna [10]

Answer:

1200Hz

Explanation:

You would have to multiply 12 by 100 to get the answer.


12 • 100 = 1200 Hz

How does the location of the outer planets explain their composition and characteristics?
Elena-2011 [213]

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune collectively make up the group known as the jovian planets. The general structures of the jovian planets are opposite those of the terrestrial planets. Rather than having thin atmospheres around relatively large rocky bodies, the jovian planets have relatively small, dense cores surrounded by massive layers of gas. Made almost entirely of hydrogen and helium, these planets do not have solid surfaces.
