Calculate the potential energy of a +1.0μC point charge sitting 0.1m from a -5.0μC point charge.

Physics

AfilCa [17]3 years ago

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

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

If you were traveling away from earth at speed 0.5c, you wouldn't notice any change in your heartbeat, you won't notice your mass, height and waistline change. This is because you are on the same frame of reference as the ship in spacetime and any measurement done from the ship will give normal readings from an observer on the ship.

For an observer on earth, your heartbeat will be seen to slowdown (because your time on the ship will be perceived to slow down to an

observer on earth). Also, your mass will be seen to increase, you height will also be seen to increase, and your waistline will be seen to decrease when viewed from earth.

If an earthquake occurred in Miami, Florida, then how long would it take for a seismic station in Seattle, Washington, to pick u
Juliette [100K]

0.017s

Explanation:

Given parameter

Distance = 5000km = 5 x 10⁶m

Unknown:

time taken = ?

Solution:

We use the normal speed equation to solve this problem as we take the speed of the wave to be 3 x 10⁸m/s.

   Speed = \frac{Distance }{Time taken}

   Inputting the parameters:

             Time taken = \frac{distance }{velocity of the wave}

  Time taken = \frac{ 5 000000}{3 00000000} = 0.017s

Suppose (for this statement only), that q is moved from the origin but is still within both the surfaces. The flux through both
o-na [289]

Answer:

-True  - True  - true   - false -false - false

Explanation:

  • True The flow depends only on the charge into the surface, not on the relative position
  • True The two vectors are radial, so their relative direction  do not changes
  • True It just depends on the charge inside
  • False, it only depends on the charge, not on the form from the integration surface
  • False, because if it has a load inside it can be considered in the center, but if the load is outside the flow lines change direction with respect to the surface
  • False The flow depends only on the load inside, not on its position

Fission is the process of creating energy by
Colt1911 [192]
<h2>Answer: The separation of the components of the nucleous of the atom  </h2><h2> </h2>

The n<u>uclear fission</u> consists of dividing a heavy nucleus into two or more lighter or smaller nuclei, by means of the <u>bombardment with neutrons to make it unstable. </u>

Then, with this division a great release of energy occurs and the emission of two or three neutrons, other particles and gamma rays.

It should be noted that in the process, the emitted neutrons can interact with new fissionable nuclei that will emit new neutrons and so on. Effect better known as chain reaction.

How much displacement will a spring with a constant of 120N / m achieve if it is stretched by a force of 60N?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

There's a formula for this:

F = k*displacement

F being force, k being the spring constant, and displacement being the change in x

We are given the force and the spring constant, so this is essentially isolating the Δx term. Do 60N/120N per meter. The newtons cancel out and you get a final answer of Δx = 0.5 meters
