An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m. Part A How m

PART A)

Electrostatic potential at the position of origin is given by

$V = \frac{kq_1}{r_1} + \frac{kq_2}{r_2}$

here we have

$q_1 = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

$q_2 = -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

$r_1 = r_2 = 1 m$

now we have

$V = \frac{Ke}{r} - \frac{Ke}{r}$

$V = 0$

Now work done to move another charge from infinite to origin is given by

$W = q(V_f - V_i)$

here we will have

$W = e(0 - 0) = 0$

so there is no work required to move an electron from infinite to origin

PART B)

Initial potential energy of electron

$U = \frac{Kq_1e}{r_1} + \frac{kq_2e}{r_2}$

$U = \frac{9\times 10^9(-1.6\times 10^{-19}(-1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{19} + \frac{9\times 10^9(1.6\times 10^{-19}(-1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{21}$

$U = (2.3\times 10^{-28})(\frac{1}{19} - \frac{1}{21})$

$U = 1.15\times 10^{-30}$

Now we know

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(9.1\times 10^{-31}(100)^2$

$KE = 4.55 \times 10^{-27} kg$

now by energy conservation we will have

So here initial total energy is sufficient high to reach the origin

PART C)

It will reach the origin

A car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and ________ energy.

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Mechanical energy

Explanation:

A car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and mechanical energy.

Mechanical energy can be defined as the type of energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or position. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy, that is, the sum of energy in motion and stored energy. Examples of mechanical energy includes driving a car, riding a bicycle, listening to music etc.

Types of mechanical energy

1. Motion energy (kinetic energy)

2. Stored energy(potential energy)

Mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

Two parallel wires separated by a distance of 0.6 m each carry current in the same direction. One wire is carrying a current of

mart [117]

Answer:

The value is $B = 3.33 *10^{-6} \ T$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of separation is $d = 0.6 \ m$

The current on the one wire is $I_1 = 9 \ A$

The current on the second wire is $I_2 = 4 \ A$

Generally the magnitude of the field exerted between the current carrying wire is

$B = B_1 - B_2$

Here $B_1$ is the magnetic field due to the first wire which is mathematically represented as

$B_1 = \frac{\mu_o * I_1 }{2 \pi * d_1}$

Here $d_1$ is the distance to the half way point of the separation and the value is

$d_1 = 0.3 \ m$

$B_2$ is the magnetic field due to the first wire which is mathematically represented as

$B_2 = \frac{\mu_o * I_2 }{2 \pi * d_2}$

Here $d_2$ is the distance to the half way point of the separation and the value is

$d_2 = 0.3 \ m$

This means that $d_1 = d_2 = a = 0.3$

$B = \frac{\mu_o * I_1 }{2 \pi * d_1} - \frac{\mu_o * I_2 }{2 \pi * d_2}$

=> $B = \frac{\mu_o * (I_1 - I_2)}{2 \pi *0.3 }$

=> $B = \frac{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * (9- 4)}{2 * 3.142 *0.3 }$

=> $B = 3.33 *10^{-6} \ T$

During an observation, it was noticed that light diffracts as it passes through small slits in a barrier. What does this evidenc

Lynna [10]

Answer:

It reveals that light is a wave

Explanation:

Diffraction is the property of a wave in which there is a bending of the wave about the corners of an obstacle or aperture into the geometrical shadow of the obstacle or aperture.

This simply implies that a wave bends or spreads out when it passes through openings. Since the light diffracts through small slits and diffraction has been shown to occur in water waves and sound waves, this property of diffraction can only be characteristic of a wave and thus, this evidence reveals that light is a wave.
