Three equal point charges, each with charge 1.45 μCμC , are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose sides are of

length 0.700 mm . What is the electric potential energy UUU of the system? (Take as zero the potential energy of the three charges when they are infinitely far apart.)

Answer:

U = 80.91 J

Explanation:

In order to calculate the electric potential energy between the three charges you use the following formula:

U=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r_{1,2}}                  (1)

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2

q1: q2 charge

r1,2: distance between charges 1 and 2.

For the three charges you have:

U_T=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r_{1,2}}+k\frac{q_1q_3}{r_{1,3}}+k\frac{q_2q_3}{r_{2,3}}           (2)

You use the fact that q1=q2=q3=q and that the distance between charges are equal. Then, in the equation (2) you have:

q = 1.45μC = 1.45*10^-6C

r = 0.700mm = 0.700*10^-3m

U_T=3k\frac{q^2}{r}=3(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{(1.45*10^{-6}C)}{0.700*10^{-3}m}\\\\U_T=80.91J

The electric potential energy between the three charges is 80.91 J

What is the formula for conservation of momentum
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The general equation for conservation of momentum during a collision between n number of objects is given as: [m i ×v i a ] = [m i ×v i b ] Where m i is the mass of object i , v i a is the velocity of object i before the collision, and v i b is the velocity of object i after the collision.

A solid weighs 16.5N on the surface of the moon. The force of gravity on the moon is 1.7N/Kg.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

mass = 9.7 kg

Explanation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity (g)

16.5 = mass x 1.7

mass = \frac{16.5}{1.7} = 9.7 kg
