<h2>Answer:</h2>

315.7 x 10⁻³ J

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Given from the question;

Charge q₁ = 2.30μC, which is stationary

Charge q₂ = -5.0μC, which moves from;

initial point r₁ = [0.170m, 0]  = \sqrt{0.170^{2} + 0^{2}  } = \sqrt{0.170^{2} } = 0.170m

final point r₂ = [0.250m, 0.250m] = \sqrt{0.250^{2} + 0.250^{2} } = \sqrt{0.0625 + 0.0625} = \sqrt{0.125} = 0.3536m

Now, remember that the work done (W) on a moving point charge(q) by an electric force is the change in the potential energy (ΔU) of the charge. i.e

W = ΔU

Where;

ΔU = U₁ - U₂

U₁ = potential energy at point r₁

U₂ = potential energy at point r₂

=> W = U₁ - U₂      ----------------------------(i)

Potential energy (U) of between two point charges at a point r is given by;

U = k x q₁ x q₂ / r

Where;

k = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

Therefore, we can write;

U₁ = k x q₁ x q₂ / r₁      and

U₂ = k x q₁ x q₂ / r₂

Substitute these values of U₁ and U₂ into equation (i) as follows;

=> W =  (k x q₁ x q₂ / r₁)  -  (k x q₁ x q₂ / r₂)

=> W = k x q₁ x q₂ [\frac{1}{r_{1} } - \frac{1}{r_{2} } ]           --------------------(ii)

Substitute the values of k, q₁, q₂  and r₂ into the equation (ii) as follows;

=> W = 8.99 x 10⁹ x 2.30 x 10⁻⁶ x 5.00 x 10⁻⁶ x [\frac{1}{0.170 } - \frac{1}{0.3536 }]

=> W = 8.99 x 10⁹ x 2.30 x 10⁻⁶ x 5.00 x 10⁻⁶ x [5.882- 2.828]

=> W = 8.99 x 10⁹ x 2.30 x 10⁻⁶ x 5.00 x 10⁻⁶ x [3.054]

=> W = 315.7 x 10⁻³

=> W = 315.7 mJ

Therefore, the work done on the moving point charge q₂ is 315.7 x 10⁻³ J

Answer:

W = 2.74 J

Explanation:

The work done by the charge on the origin to the moving charge is equal to the difference in the potential energy of the charges.

This is the electrostatic equivalent of the work-energy theorem.

W = \Delta U = U_2 - U_1

where the potential energy is defined as follows

U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Let's first calculate the distance 'r' for both positions.

r_1 = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_0)^2 + (y_1 - y_0)^2} = \sqrt{(0.170 - 0)^2 + (0 - 0)^2} = 0.170~m\\r_2 = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_0)^2 + (y_2 - y_0)^2} = \sqrt{(0.250 - 0)^2 + (0.250 - 0)^2} = 0.353~m

Now, we can calculate the potential energies for both positions.

U_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2} = \frac{(8.99\times 10^9)(2.3\times 10^{-6})(-5\times 10^{-6})}{(0.170)^2} = -3.57~J\\U_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_2^2} = \frac{(8.99\times 10^9)(2.3\times 10^{-6})(-5\times 10^{-6})}{(0.3530)^2} = -0.829~J

Finally, the total work done on the moving particle can be calculated.

W = U_2 - U_1 = (-0.829) - (-3.57) = 2.74~J

If there are 50 people per square kilometer in a city, and the area of the city is 1.5 × 10 square kilometers. What is the total
qaws [65]

Answer:

750 people

Explanation:

From the question,

Number of people in the city = population density×Area of the city

N = D×A.......................... Equagtion 1

Where N = Number of people in the city, D = population density, A = Area of the city.

Given: D = 50 people per square kilometer, A = 1.5×10 square kilometer.

Substitute into equation 1

N = 50(1.5×10)

N = 750 people.

Hence the total number of people in the city is 750 people.

A 2.03 kg book is placed on a flat desk. Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the book and the desk is 0.602 and t
diamong [38]

Answer:

11.98 N

Explanation:

Normal force =   mg =  2.03 * 9.81

coeff of static friction must be overcome for the book to begin moving

       .602 = F / (2.03 * 9.81)   = 11.98  N
