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

Compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy

Kinetic and Potential Energy HistoryA roller coaster train going down hill represents merely a complex case as a body is descending an inclined plane. Newton's first two laws relate force and acceleration, which are key concepts in roller coaster physics. At amusement parks, Newton's laws can be applied to every ride. These rides range from 'The Swings' to The 'Hammer'. Newton was also one of the developers of calculus which is essential to analyzing falling bodies constrained on more complex paths than inclined planes. A roller coaster rider is in an gravitational field except with the Principle of Equivalence.Potential EnergyPotential energy is the same as stored energy. The "stored" energy is held within the gravitational field. When you lift a heavy object you exert energy which later will become kinetic energy when the object is dropped. A lift motor from a roller coaster exerts potential energy when lifting the train to the top of the hill. The higher the train is lifted by the motor the more potential energy is produced; thus, forming a greater amount if kinetic energy when the train is dropped. At the top of the hills the train has a huge amount of potential energy, but it <span>has very little kinetic energy.Kinetic Energy The word "kinetic" is derived from the Greek word meaning to move, and the word "energy" is the ability to move. Thus, "kinetic energy" is the energy of motion --it's ability to do work. The faster the body moves the more kinetic energy is produced. The greater the mass and speed of an object the more kinetic energy there will be. Hope this helped:))))</span>

A ball is thrown vertically upwards from the edge of the cliff and hits the ground at the base of the cliff with a speed of 30 m
olya-2409 [2.1K]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. From the definition of the final velocity, as the sum between the initial velocity and the product between the acceleration (gravity) by time, we will find the final velocity. From the second law of kinematics, we will find the vertical position traveled.

v = v_0 -gt

Here,

v = Final velocity

v_0 = Initial velocity

g = Acceleration due to gravity

t = Time

At t = 4s, v = -30m/s (Downward)

Therefore the initial velocity will be

-30 = v_0 -9.8(4)

v_0 = 9.2m/s

Now the position can be calculated as,

y = h +v_0t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2

When it has the ground, y=0 and the time is t=4s,

0 = h+(9.2)(4)-\frac{1}{2} (9.8)(4)^2

h = 41.6m

Therefore the cliff was initially to 41.6m from the ground

As you sit in a fishing boat, you noticed that 22 waves pass the boat every 60 seconds . If the distance from one crest to the n
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

0.1835m/s

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the speed of wave is expressed as;

v = fλ

f is the frequency - The number of oscillations completed in one seconds

If 22 waves pass the boat every 60 seconds,

number of wave that passes in 1 seconds = 22/60 = 0.367 waves

Therefore the frequency f of the wave is 0.367Hertz

λ (wavelength) is the distance between successive crest and trough of a wave

λ = 0.5m

Substitute the given values into the formula

v = fλ

v = 0.367 * 0.5

v = 0.1835

Hence the speed of the waves is 0.1835m/s
