Two 1.0 kg masses are 4.0 m apart on a frictionless table. Each has 1.0μC of charge. Part A What is the magnitude of the electri
9966 [12]

Force between two charges is given by

F =\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

F =\frac{9*10^9* 1* 10^{-6}* 1 * 10^{-6}}{4^2}

F = 5.625 * 10^{-4} N

Now in order to find the acceleration of each mass

we can use

F = ma

5.625 * 10^{-4} = 1 * a

a= 5.625 * 10^{-4} m/s^2

A large, simple pendulum is on display in the lobby of the United Nations building. If the pendulum is 18.5 m in length, what is
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

     t = 1,144 s

Explanation:

The simple pendulum consists of an inextensible string with a mass at the tip, the angular velocity of this is

     w = √( L / g)

The angular velocity is related to the frequency and period

     w = 2π f

      f = 1 / T

     w = 2π / T

Let's replace

     2π / T = √ (L / g)

     T = 2π √ (g / L)

Let's calculate

     T = 2π √ (9.81 / 18.5)

     T = 4,576 s

The definition of period in the time it takes the ball to come and go to a given point (a revolution) in our case we go from the end to the middle point that is a quarter of the path

     t = T / 4

     t = 4,576 / 4

     t = 1,144 s

Consider two points in an electric field. The potential at point 1, V1, is 33 V. The potential at point 2, V2, is 175 V. An elec
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

ΔU  = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

Explanation:

Since the electric potential at point 1 is V₁ = 33 V and the electric potential at point 2 is V₂ = 175 V, when the electron is accelerated from point 1 to point 2, there is a change in electric potential ΔV which is given by ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

ΔV = 175 V - 33 V.

ΔV = 142 V

The change in electric potential energy ΔU = eΔV = e(V₂ - V₁) where e = electron charge = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and ΔV = electric potential change from point 1 to point 2 = 142 V.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 142 V

ΔU = -227.484 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

ΔU = -2.27484 × 10⁻²¹ J

ΔU ≅ -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

So, the required equation for the electric potential energy change is

ΔU  = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

A car starting from rest (i.e. initial velocity = 0.0 m/s), moves in the positive X-direction with a constant average accelerati
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Final speed of the car, v = 24.49 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the car, u = 0

Acceleration, a=3.1\ m/s^2

Time taken, t = 7.9 s

We need to find the final velocity of the car. Let it is given by v. It can be calculated using first equation of motion as :

v=u+at

v=0+3.1\times 7.9

v = 24.49 m/s

So, the final speed of the car is 24.49 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
