Answer:3W

If it takes an amount of work W to move two q point charges from infinity to a distance d apart from each other, then how much work should it take to move three q point charges from infinity to a distance d apart from each other?

A) 2W

B) 3W

C) 4W

D) 6W

Explanation: calculating work done,W, in moving two positive q point charges from infinity to a valued distance d from each other  is

W = k(+q)(+q)/ d

k is couloumb's constant

work done in moving 3 equal positive charges from infinity to a finite distance is given by

W₂=W₄=W₆=k(+q)(+q)/ d

Total work done, W' =k(+q)(+q)/ d + k(+q)(+q)/ d + k(+q)(+q)/ d

= W + W + W = 3W

Percentage Error is a measurement of the discrepancy between an observed and a true, or accepted value.

[ refer the attachment. ]

According to Question,

% error = \frac{7.4 - 7.6}{7.6} × 100

= 2.631 % = 2.7 % (approximately.)

hope it helps!

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

945 j

Explanation:

You have just given the ball kinetic energy, which is given by the following equation:

KE= 1⁄2 m v2 = 1⁄2 (2.1 kg)(30 m/s)2 = 945 Joules

What is the definition of the half-life of a radioactive isotope?
Illusion [34]

Answer:Half-life is the amount of time it takes for the initial mass of the isotope to decompose, by half, into other lighter atoms.

Explanation:Different radioactive isotopes have different half-lives. For example, the element technetium-99m has a half life of 6 hours. This means that is 100 kg of the element is left to decay, in 6 hours, 50kg of the mass will have changed into other elements/atoms. The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years while that of polonium-216 is only 0.145 seconds.
