<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

A 4.3 kg steel ball and 6.5 m cord of negligible mass make up a simple pendulum that can pivot without friction about the point
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer

given,

mass of steel ball, M = 4.3 kg

length of the chord, L = 6.5 m

mass of the block, m = 4.3 Kg

coefficient of friction, μ = 0.9

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

here the potential energy of the bob is converted into kinetic energy

m g L = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2

v= \sqrt{2gL}

v= \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 6.5}

      v = 11.29 m/s

As the collision is elastic the velocity of the block is same as that of bob.

now,

work done by the friction force = kinetic energy of the block

f . d = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2

\mu m g. d = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2

d=\dfrac{v^2}{2\mu g}

d=\dfrac{11.29^2}{2\times 0.9 \times 9.8}

    d = 7.23 m

the distance traveled by the block will be equal to 7.23 m.

Sliva [168]
Assuming that the can is motionless, we can then assume that the vertical component of T = mg and that Fe = the horizontal component of T. 
<span> Since T itself is larger than it's vertical or horizontal components separately, then T is greater than all the forces.</span>
