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

uch work is required to bring an additional electron from infinity to the origin? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Part B If, instead of the second electron coming in from infinity, it is initially at x = + 20.00 m on the axis and is given an initial velocity of 100.0 m/s toward the origin, does it reach the origin? Part C How close to the origin does it come?

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

What is the mass of a truck in grams of it produces a force of 1500N while accelerating at a rate of 6 m/s²?​
aleksley [76]

Answer:

250,000

Explanation:

<h2> </h2>

<h2>formula = ( F=ma </h2>

  • F=1500N
  • a=6m/s^2
  • F= ma
  • m=?
  • 1500/6 = m
  • m=250 kg
  • 1kg =1000gm so 250kg =250,000gm
  • m =250×10^3 gm

What does it mean to say the mass is conserved during a physical change ?
Olin [163]
Mater doesn't just appear or disappeared. Chemical elements are still there just the connections and how it combines changes.

So what goes into your chemical eqation must still exist after the change.

. Rohit had only one light source in his room. He was told by his friend that he can make the room more lighted by using mirror.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

very smooth and polished glass mirror

Explanation:

The best type of mirror for this would be a very smooth and polished glass mirror. A metal mirror will also work but it would need to be extremely polished. This would allow light to efficiently be reflected across the room, thus effectively adding an "extra" light source to the room. If the mirror is not smooth then the light may become distorted and not reflect properly as it is supposed to. This may defeat the entire purpose of the mirror for this scenario.

Q1.
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

P = 450 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a child, m = 18 kg

The vertical distance from the top to the bottom of the slide is 2.5 metres.

The Gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg

We need to find the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the child sliding from the  top to the bottom of the slide.

The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :

P = mgh

Substituting all the values,

P = 18 kg × 10 m/s² × 2.5 m

P = 450 J

Hence, the decrease in gravitational potential energy is 450 J.
