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

Find the change in kinetic energy of a 1.0 kg fish leaping to the right at 12.0 m/s.
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

6J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of fish  = 1kg

Velocity  = 12m/s

Unknown:

Change in kinetic energy = ?

Solution:

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. It is mathematically given as:

       K.E  = \frac{1}{2}  m v²  

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

  K.E  =  \frac{1}{2}  x 1 x 12  = 6J

The change in kinetic energy is 6J

The angular momentum of an electron in each of its orbits must be some multiple of:
Nastasia [14]
The Bohr's proposal for the angular momentum of an electron in Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom is:

L=(n*h)/(2π), where n is the number of the energy level and h is the Planck's constant. This equation shows us the quantization of angular momentum of the electron. So the correct answer is the second one: Planck's constant.

What is the role of Langerhans cells?
boyakko [2]

     

Langerhans cells exist on the surface of the skin. They help to protect you by keeping dangerous microbes from entering your body. Langerhans cells do this in two very different ways: by protecting your skin from infection and also by stimulating allergic reactions.

The 9-inch-long elephant nose fish in the Congo River generates a weak electric field around its body using an organ in its tail
Alik [6]

Answer:

1.34\cdot 10^{-16} C

Explanation:

The strength of the electric field produced by a charge Q is given by

E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}

where

Q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

k is the Coulomb's constant

In this problem, the electric field that can be detected by the fish is

E=3.00 \mu N/C = 3.00\cdot 10^{-6}N/C

and the fish can detect the electric field at a distance of

r=63.5 cm = 0.635 m

Substituting these numbers into the equation and solving for Q, we find the amount of charge needed:

Q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(3.00\cdot 10^{-6} N/C)(0.635 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2}}=1.34\cdot 10^{-16} C
