Answer:

200\times 10^{-6}j

Explanation:

We have given the radius of first sphere is 10 cm and radius of second sphere is 20 cm

So the potential of first sphere will be greater than the potential of the second sphere, so charge will flow from first sphere to second sphere

Let q charge is flow from first sphere to second sphere and then potential become same

So V=\frac{K(100-q)}{r_1}=\frac{K\times 100}{r_2}

200-100=2q+q

q=\frac{100}{3}=33.33nC

So V=\frac{K(100-q)}{r_1}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times (100-33.33)\times 10^{-9}}{10\times 10^{-2}}=6003V

We know that potential energy U=qV=33.33\times 10^{-9}\times 6003=200\times 10^{-6}j

Answer:

The electric potential energy between the two charged spheres is 199.9\times10^{-6}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of first sphere R_{1}=10\ cm

Radius of second sphere R_{2}=10\ cm

Charge Q= 100 nC

We know charge flows through higher potential to lower potential.

Using formula of potential

V=\dfrac{k(Q-q)}{R_{1}}...(I)

V=\dfrac{k(Q+q)}{R_{2}}...(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

\dfrac{k(Q-q)}{R_{1}}=\dfrac{k(Q+q)}{R_{2}}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{(100-q)}{10\times10^{2}}=\dfrac{(100+q)}{20\times10^{-2}}

(100-q)\times20\times10^{-2}=(100+q)\times10\times10^{-2}

q=\dfrac{1000}{30}

q=\dfrac{100}{3}

q=33.33\ nC

So, the potential at R₁ and R₂

Using formula of potential

V=\dfrac{k(Q-q)}{R_{1}}

Put the value into the formula

V=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}(100-33.33)\times10^{-9}}{10\times10^{-2}}

V=6000.3\ Volt

We need to calculate the electric potential energy between the two charged spheres

Using formula of  the electric potential energy

U=qV

U=33.33\times10^{-9}\times6.0003\times10^{3}

U=199.9\times10^{-6}\ J

Hence, The electric potential energy between the two charged spheres is 199.9\times10^{-6}\ J

Suppose you want to test the hypothesis that plants grow taller when they receive more sunlight. Identify and independent variab
ollegr [7]
The result that should be established is in the form
y = f(x) 
where x, the amount of sunlight is the controlled (independent) variable,
y =  height (growth) that corresponds to the amount of sunlight. Therefore y depends on x.

Clearly,
x, the amount of sunlight is the independent variable. It can be controlled.
y, the measured amount of growth is the dependent variable.

Answer:
The independent variable is the amount of sunlight.
The dependent variable is the growth.

what will the stopping distance be a a 3000-kg car if -3000N of force are applied when the car is traveling 10 m/s
Inga [223]

Answer:

50 m

Explanation:

Acceleration= force/mass

3000/3000=1m/s^-2

Applying equation of motion:

V^2=U^2+2as; V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and s is the distance covered.

0=10^2 -2*1s;

Solve for s

A proton moving at 3.90 106 m/s through a magnetic field of magnitude 1.80 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 7.20 10-1
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

\theta=40^0

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic force is

F_m=evB\sin\theta

To find the angle, we make \sin\theta subject of the formula

\implies \sin\theta=\frac{F_m}{evB}=\frac{7.20\times 10^{-13}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 3.90\times 10^6\times 1.80}

\implies \sin\theta=0.641025641

\therefore \theta=\sin^{-1}=39.8683^0\\\implies \theta\approxeq 40^0
