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

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Part a)

acceleration = -0.042 m/s/s

Part b)

initial speed = 14.17 m/s

final speed = 5.77 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

Let the initial velocity of the motorcycle is

$v_i = v_o$

now at the end of 80 s let the speed is

$v_f = v_1$

after another 120 s let the speed will be

$v_f' = v_2$

now we know that

$d = \frac{v_i + v_f}{2} (t)$

$d = \frac{v_o + v_1}{2}(80)$

$1000 = 40(v_o + v_1)$

also we know that

$v_1 - v_o = a(80)$

also we have

$1000 = \frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}(120)$

$1000 = 60(v_1 + v_2)$

now we can say

$(v_2 + v_1) - (v_o + v_1) = \frac{50}{3} - \frac{50}{2}$

also we know

$v_2 - v_o = a(120 + 80)$

$-8.33 = 200 a$

$a = -0.042 m/s^2$

Part b)

now we have

$v_1 + v_o = 25$

$v_1 - v_o = (-0.042)(80)$

$v_1 = 10.83 m/s$

so the starting velocity of the trip is

$v_o = 25 - 10.83 = 14.17 m/s$

now speed after t = 200 s is given as

$v_2 = v_o + at$

$v_2 = 14.17 - (0.042)(200)$

$v_2 = 5.77 m/s$

What is the safest way to enter a body of water? Enter with you feet first. Dive in.

zimovet [89]

Answer: feet first

Explanation:

It is always the safest to enter with your feet first. You can become paralyzed or injure you neck if you dive into a body of water that is too shallow. Therefore its always best to dive feet first instead.

Difference between reproducibility and replicability

victus00 [196]

Suppose you are doing an experiment where you determine the value of one parameter, say density of a liquid. You have two methods in doing this. By finding the mass and volume, and by using a densitometer. Reproducibility is when you get the same value of density for both methods. Replicability is when you have similar results in one method. So, replicability is a measure of precision, while reproducibility is a measure of accuracy.

A 300 g bird is flying along at 6.0 m/s and sees a 10 g insect heading straight towards it with a speed of 30 m/s. The bird open

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

(a): The bird speed after swallowing the insect is V= 4.83 m/s

(b): The impulse on the bird is I= 0.3 kg m/s

(c): The force between the bird and the insect is F= 20 N

Explanation:

ma= 0.3 kg

va= 6 m/s

mb= 0.01kg

vb= 30 m/s

(ma*va - mb*vb) / (ma+mb) = V

V= 4.83 m/s (a)

I= mb * vb

I= 0.3 kg m/s (b)

F*t= I

F= I/t

F= 20 N (c)
