Answer:

P.E.      =   -0.449 J

Explanation:

Potential energy of a charge particle in any electrostatic field is defined as the amount of work done ( in negative ) to bring that charge particle from any position to a new position r.

Now Potential energy is defined by this formula,

P.E. = k q₁ q₂/ r

where P.E. is the potential energy.

k = 1/( 4πε₀) = 8.99 × 10⁹ C²/ ( Nm²)

q₁ = charge of one particle = +1.0μC

q₂ = charge of another particle = -5.0μC

r = distance = 0.1 m

Now , P.E. = 8.99 × 10⁹C²/ ( Nm²) * ( -5.0 × 10⁻⁶ C ) × ( 1 × 10⁻⁶ C ) / 0.1 m

          P.E.      =  -0.449 J

a car travels at 15 m/s for 10 s. It then speeds up with a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s? for 15 s. At the end of this time,
Firlakuza [10]

V = u + at where u is initial velocity (15 m/s), a is acceleration (2m/s^2) and t is time (15 seconds)

V = 15 + 2 X 15

V = 45 m/s

A ship leaves the island of Guam and sails a distance 255 km at an angle 49.0 o north of west. Part A: In which direction must i
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall represent displacement in vector form .Consider east as x axes and north as Y axes west as - ve x axes and south as - ve Y axes . 255 km can be represented by the following vector

D₁ = - 255 cos 49 i  + 255 sin49 j

= - 167.29 i + 192.45 j

Let D₂ be the further displacement which lands him 125 km east . So the resultant displacement is

D = 125 i

So

D₁ + D₂ = D

- 167.29 i + 192.45 j + D₂ = 125 i

D₂ = 125 i + 167.29 i - 192.45 j

= 292.29 i - 192.45 j

Angle of D₂ with x axes θ

tan θ = -192.45 / 292.29

= - 0.658

θ = 33.33 south of east

Magnitude of D₂

D₂² = ( 192.45)² + ( 292.29)²

D₂ = 350 km approx

During the experiment if you could double the breakaway magnetic force with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new
sergiy2304 [10]
There are some missing information in the question.
However, since you are talking about magnetic force, I think you refer to the Lorentz force. When a particle of charge q and velocity v is immersed in a magnetic field of intensity B, the force acting on the particle is:
F=qvBsin\theta
where \theta is the angle between the magnetic field and the direction of the particle.
Therefore, if force F is doubled, then also the velocity v must be double of its initial value:
v=2v_0
