Answer:

The left train travels 2378 m until it reaches the meeting point.

Explanation:

The equation for the position of the trains is the following:

x = x0 + v · t

Where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v = velocity

t = time

If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the initial position of the left train, the right train will be at an initial position of 4744. 6 m relative to the left train. The velocity of the right train will be negative because it will be heading towards the origin.

At the meeting point, the position of both trains is the same:

x left train = x right train

x0₁ + v₁  ·t = x0₂ + v₂ · t

0m + 29 m/s · t = 4744.6 m - 29 m/s · t

58 m/s · t = 4744.6 m

t = 4744.6 m / 58 /s

t = 82 s

The position of the left train at that time will be:

x = x0 + v · t

x = 0 m + 29 m/s · 82 s

x = 2378 m

The left train travels 2378 m until it reaches the meeting point.

horrorfan [7]

Note: Although the video is not provided in this question, it is not needed to answer the question.

Answer:

B) It does not deflect at all

Explanation:

Since both half shells contain opposite charges, the two shells become electrically neutral when they are brought together and the electroscope discharges. On separating the two half shells again, the needle does not deflect because the half shells have now lost their charges to become neutral.

At a certain point in space, there is a potential of 800 V relative to zero. What is the potential energy of the system when a +
sammy [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to electric potential and electric potential energy. By definition we know that the electric potential is determined under the function:

V = \frac{k_e q}{r}

k_e = Coulomb's constant

q = Charge

r = Radius

At the same time

U = \frac{k_e q_1q_2}{r}

The values of variables are the same, then if we replace in a single equation we have this expression,

U  = Vq

If we replace the values, we have finally that the charge is,

V = 800V

q = 1\mu C

U = (800V)(1*10^{-6}C)

U = 8*10^{-4}J

Therefore the potential energy of the system is 8*10^{-4} J
