Answer: The electric potential midway between them is -5.64 × 10^4 V

Explanation:

Electric potential is measured in volts or joules per coulomb. It is the amount of work required to move a charge from a reference point to a specific point inside the field.

Electric potential V = Σkq/r

k = coulomb's constant = 9.0x10^9 N-m^2/C^2

q1 = +3.21 × 10^-6 C

q2 = -6.75 × 10^-6 C

r = 1.13/2 = 0.565m

V = kq1/r + kq2/r = (k/r)(q1 + q2)

Substituting the values;

V = (9.0x10^9/0.565)(3.21 - 6.75) × 10^-6

V = -56389.3805309 Volt

V = -5.64 × 10^4 volts

Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average o

Musya8 [376]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average orbit radius of Mercury.

Mass of the Sun, $M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg$

Radius of Mercury's orbit, $r=5.79\times 10^{10}\ m$

Radius of discovered planet, $R=\dfrac{2}{3}r$

$R=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 5.79\times 10^{10}\ m=3.86\times 10^{10}\ m$

Let T is the orbital period of such a planet. Using Kepler's third law of planetary motion as :

$T^2\propto R^3$

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2R^3}{GM}$

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (3.86\times 10^{10})^3}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}$

$T=\sqrt{1.71\times 10^{13}}$

T = 4135214.625 s

T = 47.86 days

So, the orbital period of such a planet is 47.86 days. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of the following is not a component of fitness? A. Cardiovascular fitness B. Muscular endurance C. Pulmonary endurance D.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

C. Pulmonary endurance

Explanation:

I'm pretty sure it's "C" because cardiovascular and pulmonary endurance are the same thing and usually you'd hear cardiovascular more than pulmonary.

Sorry if I'm wrong!
