Answer:

Incomplete question check attachment for complete question

Also it is given that

q1=-0.7uC

q4=-1.7uC

q3=-1.7uC

Also the distance are given as

a=2.2cm=0.022m

d2=3.6cm=0.036m

Explanation:

The potential energy due to point R is given as

The potential energy due to charge q1 and q3 plus the potential energy due to charge q4 and q1 plus the potential energy due to charge q3 and q4

So, let take it one after the other

Potential energy is give as

P.E=kq1q2/r

Therefore,

Potential energy due to charge q1 and q3

U¹³=kq1q3/r

To get the distance between charge q1 and q3, we will apply Pythagoras theorem

r=√(d2²+a²)

r=√(0.036²+0.022²)

r=0.0422m

k is a constant =9×10^9Nm²/C²

Then,

U¹³=kq1q3/r

U¹³=9×10^9×0.7×10^-6×1.7×10^-6/0.0422

U¹³=0.254J

Potential energy due to charge q1 and q4

U¹⁴=kq1q4/r

To get the distance between charge q1 and q4, we will apply Pythagoras theorem

r=√(d2²+a²)

r=√(0.036²+0.022²)

r=0.0422m

k is a constant =9×10^9Nm²/C²

Then,

U¹⁴=kq1q4/r

U¹⁴=9×10^9×0.7×10^-6×1.7×10^-6/0.0422

U¹⁴=0.254J

Potential energy due to charge q3 and q4

U³⁴=kq3q4/r

r=2a=2×0.022=0.044m

k is a constant =9×10^9Nm²/C²

Then,

U³⁴=kq3q4/r

U³⁴=9×10^9×1.7×10^-6×1.7×10^-6/0.044

U¹⁴=0.591J

Then, the total energy is

U= U¹³+ U¹⁴ + U³⁴

U=0.254+0.254+0.591

U=1.099J

Then also, the potential energy is zero because at infinity both U¹³ and U¹⁴ will have infinite potential because their distance apart will be infinite.

Answer:

At the end points of motion (either side) the velocity must be zero because the velocity is changing from - to + (it can't turn around around without passing thru zero,

The velocity will then increase to the midpoint of the motion.

Blood plasma volume for adults is about 3.1 liters. It has a density of 1.020 gml. How many pounds of blood plasma are in your b
kari74 [83]

Answer:

mass is 6.97 pounds

Explanation:

given data

volume = 3.1 liters

density = 1.020 g/ml = 1.02 kg/l

to find out

How many pounds of blood plasma

solution

we know mass formula from density that is

density = mass / volume

so

mass = density × volume    ...............1

so put all value to get mass

mass = 1.02 × 3.1

mass = 3.162 kg

mass = 3.162  × 2.205 pounds

so mass is 6.97 pounds

on aircraft carriers, catapults are used to accelerate jet air craft to flight speeds in a short distance. One such catapult tak
sineoko [7]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

The jet's change in speed = (70 m/s) - (zero) = 70 m/s

So acceleration = (70 m/s) / (2.5 s)

Acceleration = (70 / 2.5) m/s²

<em>Acceleration = 28 m/s²</em>  

That's about 2.9 G's .  Jet pilots can endure a lot more than that, but maybe the catapult or the hook on the airplane can't.  Let's look a little closer:

F = m A (Newton #2)

The force on the airplane = (18,000 kg) x (28 m/s²)

Force on the airplane = 504,000 Newtons

That's about 113,000 pounds !  Maybe the part of the airplane that the catapult pushes on can't handle any more force than that.  Or maybe that's the most force the catapult can deliver.

Also, the REACTION force on the catapult is the same 113,000 pounds.  Maybe the hooks or the chains or the struts on the catapult can't handle any more force than that.

That's almost 57 tons for gosh sakes !  Maybe the DECK of the carrier can't handle more force than that, and that's why they can't launch the airplane with acceleration of more than 2.9 G's .

A child slides down a snow‑covered slope on a sled. At the top of the slope, her mother gives her a push to start her off with a
kirill [66]

Answer:

θ = 13.16 °

Explanation:

Lets take mass of child = m

Initial velocity ,u= 1.1 m/s

Final velocity ,v=3.7 m/s

d= 22.5 m

The force due to gravity along the incline plane = m g sinθ

The friction force = (m g)/5

Now from work power energy

We know that

work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy

( m g sinθ - (m g)/5 ) d = 1/2 m v² - 1/2 m u²

(2  g sinθ - ( 2 g)/5 ) d = v² -  u²

take g = 10 m/s²

(20 sinθ - ( 20)/5 ) 22.5 = 3.7² -  1.1²

20 sinθ - 4 =12.48/22.5

θ = 13.16 °
