<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

How did foucaults pendulum and coriolis effect are used to demonstrate earths tilt?
HACTEHA [7]
They do not demonstrate Earth's tilt. In fact, they're not "used" to demonstrate anything. It works the other way:. When you observe the Coriolis effect and the behavior of the Foucault pendulum, and you try to explain why the behave the way they do, one possible simple explanation for both of them is the Earth's ROTATION. Then, when you also observe the rising and setting of the sun and moon, and you also notice how the NUMBERS all go together, the case for the rotating, spherical Earth gets stronger and stronger.

What mass of a material with density Ï is required to make a hollow spherical shell having inner radius r1 and outer radius r2?
inysia [295]
<span>Yes, there are! r1 and r2 are numbers. The volume of the hollow shell is 4 π 3 ( r 3 1 − r 3 2 ) 4π3(r13−r23). Now multiply by ρ to get the mass.</span>

Genetic information responsible for physical characteristics such as eye color, height, hair color, and skin color can be found
fredd [130]

Answer: Genetic information responsible for physical characteristics such as eye color, height, hair color, and skin color can be found in an organism's <u>DNA.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Our genetic information is stored in DNA. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule is a double helix structure which carries information which used in development and growth of body and determines physical characteristics such as eye color, height, hair color and skin color.
