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

1.) What causes ocean tides
BigorU [14]

Answer: Tides are periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water. Tides are caused by gravitational interaction between the earth and the moon. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon.

A standing wave on a string that is fixed at both ends has frequency 80.0 Hz. The distance between adjacent antinodes of the sta
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

v = 19.2 m/s

Explanation:

In order to find the speed of the string you use the following formula:

f=\frac{v}{2L}          (1)

f: frequency of the string = 80.0Hz

v: speed of the wave = ?

L: length of the string = 12.0cm = 0.12m

The length of the string coincides with the wavelength of the wave for the fundamental mode.

Then, you solve for v in the equation (1), and replace the values of the other parameters:

v=2Lf=2(0.12m)(80.0Hz)=19.2\frac{m}{s}

The speed of the wave is 19.2 m/s

A car on a level road turns a quarter circle ccw. You learned in Chapter 8 that static friction causes the centripetal accelerat
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

As we know that the force and the motion direction should always be perpendicular to each other due to which the work is done by static friction be zero

Therefore

F.dcos(theta) = F.d cos(90) = 0

Hence, the work done by static friction is zero

Therefore the same is to be considered

(a) calculate earth's mass given the acceleration due to gravity at the north pole is 9.830 m/s2 and the radius of the earth is
kakasveta [241]

(a) The value of the gravitational acceleration is given by:

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G=6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

r=6371 km=6.371 \cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius at the pole

If we use the value for g given by the problem, g=9.830 m/s^2, and we rearrange the equation above, we find the value of the Earth's mass:

M=\frac{gr^2}{G}=\frac{(9.830 m/s^2)(6.371 \cdot 10^6 m)^2}{6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}}=5.982 \cdot 10^{24} kg

(b) The value we found for the Earth's mass is 5.982 \cdot 10^{24} kg, and we see that this value is slightly larger than the accepted value of 5.979 \cdot 10^{24} kg.
