Answer:

the distance from charge A to C is r₁₃= 1.216 m

Explanation:

following Coulomb's law , the force exerted by 2 point charges between themselves is:

F= k*q₁*q₂/r₁₂² , where q is charge , r is distance and 1 and 2 represents the charge A and charge B respectively , k=constant

since C ( denoted as 3) is at equilibrium

F₁₃=F₂₃

k*q₁*q₃/r₁₃²=k*q₂*q₃/r₂₃²

q₁/r₁₃²=q₂/r₂₃²

r₁₃²/q₁=r₂₃²/q₂

r₂₃=r₁₃*√(q₂/q₁)

since C is at rest and is co linear with A and B ( otherwise it would receive a net force in either vertical or horizontal direction) , we have

r₁₃+r₂₃=d=r₁₂

r₁₃+r₁₃*√(q₂/q₁)=d

r₁₃*(1+√(q₂/q₁))=d

r₁₃=d/(1+√(q₂/q₁))

replacing values

r₁₃=d/(1+√(q₂/q₁)) = 3.00 m/(1+√(3.10 C/1.44 C)) = 1.216 m

thus the distance from charge A to C is r₁₃= 1.216 m

A mass of 25.5 g of H2O(g) at 373 K is mixed with 325 g of H2O(l) at 285 K and 1 atm. Calculate the final temperature of the sys
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

331.28 K

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to know that the heat that the water at 373 K is equal to the heat that the water at 285 K gains.

First, we will asume that at the end of this process there won't be any water left in gaseous state.

The heat that the steam (H20(g)) loses is equal to the heat lost because the change of phase plus the heat lost because of the decrease in temperature:

Q_g = c_l*m_{wg} + m_{wg}*c*(T_{og}-T{fg})

The specific Heat c of water at 298K is 4.18 kJ/K*kg.

The latent heat cl of water is equal to  2257 kJ/kg.

The heat that the cold water gains is equal to heat necessary to increase its temperature to its final value:

Q_l = m_{wl}*c*(T_{fl}-T_{ol})

Remember that in equilibrium, the final temperature of both bodies of water will be equal.

Then:

Q_g = Q_l\\c_l*m_{wg} + m_{wg}*c*(T_{og}-T{fg}) = m_{wl}*c*(T_{fl}-T_{ol})\\2257 kJ/kg*0.0255 kg + 0.0255 kg*4.18 kJ/kg*K*(373K - T_f) = 0.325 kg*4.18kJ/kg*K*(T_f-285K)\\57.5535 kJ + 39.75807kJ - 0.10659T_f = 1.3585 T_f - 387.1725 kJ\\484.48407 kJ = 1.46244 T_f\\T_f = 484.48407 kJ /1.46244 = 331.28 K

I am Lyosha [343]

The steps in the heating of a metal seat in a park are:

Step 1: Heat travels from the sun to Earth

Step 2: Heat travels through atmosphere to the top of the seat

Step 3: Heat from the top of the seat travels through the seat to the lower parts of the seat.

-- Heat is transferred by radiation in Step 1 and Step 2. <em>(B)</em>

-- From the top of the seat to the bottom, heat is transferred by conduction.  

There's no convection happening anywhere in the park-hot-seat scenario.

Two neutron stars are separated by a distance of 1.0 x 1012 m. They each have a mass of 1.0 x 1028 kg and a radius of 1.0 x 103
son4ous [18]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Gravitational Potential Energy.

Gravitational potential energy can be defined as

PE = -\frac{GMm}{R}

As M=m, then

PE = -\frac{Gm^2}{R}

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

R = Distance /Radius

PART A) As half its initial value is u'=2u, then

U = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}

dU = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}

dKE = -dU

Therefore replacing we have that,

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =\frac{Gm^2}{2R}

Re-arrange to find v,

v= \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{R}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*1*10^{28}}{1*10^{12}}}

v = 816.7m/s

Therefore the  velocity when the separation has decreased to one-half its initial value is 816m/s

PART B) With a final separation distance of 2r, we have that

2r = 2*10^3m

Therefore

dU = Gm^2(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{2r})

v = \sqrt{Gm(\frac{1}{2r}-\frac{1}{R})}

v = \sqrt{6.67*10^{-11}*10^{28}(\frac{1}{2*10^3}-\frac{1}{10^{12}})}

v = 1.83*10^7m/s

Therefore the velocity when they are about to collide is 1.83*10^7m/s
