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.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: The frequency heard will be f = 275.675Hz

Explanation: When an object emitting sound is moving, it occurs a phenomenon called Doppler shift or Doppler effect. What happens is that the sound gets higher when the moving object comes closer the observer and becomes lower after it passes, This change is due to the quantity of waves that passes through an area in an unit of time.

The formula to calculate the Doppler effect is as follows

f = (\frac{c}{c+Vs}) · f₀

f is the observed frequency;

c is the speed of sound;

Vs is velocity of the source;

f₀ is the emitted frequency of source;

Substituting and calculating,

f = \frac{340}{340+30} · 300

f = 275.675 Hz

Thus, the frequency heard by the police officer is 275.675Hz.

In a race, Usain Bolt accelerates at
jeka94

Answer:

65.87 s

Explanation:

For the first time,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance

From the question,

Given:  u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)

v² = 238.8

v = √238.8

v = 15.45 m/s

Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is

t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2

t = (15.45-0)/1.99

t = 7.77 s

For the final 40 meter,

t = (v-u)/a

Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²

Substitute into the equation above

t = (0-15.45)/-0.266

t = 58.1 seconds

Hence total time taken to cover the distance

T = 7.77+58.1

T = 65.87 s
