<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 python can detect thermal radiation from objects that differ in temperature from their environment as long as the received int
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

10.52 m

Explanation:

The power radiated by a body is given by

P = σεAT⁴ where ε = emissivity = 0.97, T = temperature = 30 C + 273 = 303 K, A = surface area of human body = 1.8 m², σ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²K⁴

P = σεAT⁴ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴ ×  0.97 × 1.8 m² × (303)⁴ = 834.45 W

This is the power radiated by the human body.

The intensity I = P/A where A = 4πr² where r = distance from human body.

I = P/4πr²

r = (√P/πI)/2

If the python is able to detect an intensity of 0.60 W/m², with a power of 834.45 W emitted by the human body, the maximum distance r, is thus

r = (√P/πI)/2 = (√834.45/0.60π)/2 = 21.04/2 = 10.52 m

So, the maximum distance at which a python could detect your presence is 10.52 m.

for the same type of atom with 8 protons, 9 neutrons, and 10 electrons, what type of atom or ion is it​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

O²⁻

Explanation:

Number of protons  = 8

Number of neutrons  = 9

Number of electrons  = 10

What type of atom or ion is it = ?

Solution:

Protons are the positively charged particle in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are negatively charged particles

 For this atom, the number of protons helps to identify what specie it is; so this is an oxygen atom.

Now,

     Charge  = Number of protons  - Number of electrons

      Charge  =  8  - 10  = -2

The charge on the atom is -2 and so it is an oxygen ion with -2 charge

 The ion is O²⁻
