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

A drunken sailor stumbles 550 meters north, 500 meters northeast, then 450 meters northwest. What is the total displacement and
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Resultant displacement = 1222.3 m

Angle is 88.3 degree from +X axis.

Explanation:

A = 550 m north

B = 500 m north east

C = 450 m north west

Write in the vector form

A = 550 j

B = 500 (cos 45 i + sin 45 j ) = 353.6 i + 353.6 j

C = 450 ( - cos 45 i + sin 45 j ) = - 318.2 i + 318.2 j

Net displacement is given by

R = (353.6 - 318.2) i + (550 + 353.6 + 318.2) j

R = 35.4 i + 1221.8 j

The magnitude is

R = \sqrt{35.4^{2}+1221.8^{2}}R = 1222.3 m

The direction is given by

tan\theta =\frac{1221.8}{35.4}\\\\\theta = 88.3^{o}
