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.

Differences between Light year and Cosmic year in two points
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

A cosmic year is 365.25 days, some times called a side real year and is just the time it takes for us to go round the sun once.

A light year is the distance light travels in a year. Now light travels at about 186,262 miles a Second! Which is not slow by any ones book.

An experiment was conducted just after Christmas a few years ago. Two girls were selected from the audience and went into two phone boxes a few feet apart. They could only hear each other via the phones. The phone call went to a ground station about 200 miles away, then up to a geostationary coms satellite, back to a ground station 1/3 of the way around the world, then repeated, with a third satellite before being sent from another ground station back to London and the other phone box. We the audience could hear both sides of the conversation from both boxes. And could hear the delay between sending and receiving. So even at the speed of light, there was about 1.5 seconds of delay. So because distances in space are so vast that saying a star is x millions of miles away causes problems, you run out of zero’s! So our nearest other star is about 4.5 light years away. Our sun (our nearest start) is about 8 light minuets away. Varies slightly as our orbit is not 100% cirular.

I HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.

Light with a frequency of 7.30 x 1014 hz lies in the violet region of the visible spectrum. What is the wavelength of this frequ
Leona [35]

From the theory we know that:

c = λ / T

f = 1 / T

Where:

c = 3.10^{8} / m   (the speed of light)

λ is the wavelengh (in meters)

T is the period (in seconds)

f is the frequency (in Hz)

We were told that:

f = 7.30 . 10^{14}

And we want to find out the value of λ.

c = λ / T  

c = λ . 1/T

Swaping 1/T = f

c = λ . f

λ = c / f

λ = 3 . 10^{8} /  7.30 . 10^{14}

λ = 4.12 10^{-7} m

Response: 4.12 10^{-7} m = 412 nm

The angular separation of two stars is 0.1 arcseconds and you photograph them with a telescope that has an angular resolution of
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Will see them as only one star

Explanation:

Solution:

- The angular resolution of a telescope means the minimum quantity that can be visualized. Since their angular separation ( 0.1 arcseconds ) is smaller than the telescope's angular resolution (1 arcseconds ), your photograph will seem to show only one star rather than two.
