Answer:

a) 8.99*10³ V  b) 4.5*10⁻² J c) 0 d) 0

Explanation:

a)

  • The electrostatic potential V, is the work done per unit charge, by the electrostatic force, producing a displacement d from infinity (assumed to be the reference zero level).
  • For a point charge, it can be expressed as follows:

        V =\frac{k*q}{d}

  • As the electrostatic force is linear with the charge (it is raised to first power), we can apply superposition principle.
  • This means that the total potential at a given point, is just the sum of the individual potentials due to the different charges, as if the others were not there.
  • In our case, due to symmetry, the potential, at any corner of the triangle, is just the double of the potential due to the charge located at  any other corner, as follows:

        V = \frac{2*q*k}{d} = \frac{2*8.99e9N*m2/C2*4e-6C}{8m} =\\ \\ V= 8.99e3 V

  • The potential at point C is 8.99*10³ V

b)

  • The work required to bring a positive charge of 5μC from infinity to the point C, is just the product of the potential at this point times the charge, as follows:

        W = V * q = 8.99e3 V* 5e-6C = 4.5e-2 J

  • The work needed is 0.045 J.

c)

  • If we replace one of the charges creating the potential at the point  C, by one of the same magnitude, but opposite sign, we will have the following equation:

       V = \frac{8.99e9N*m2/C2*(4e-6C)}{8m}  + (\frac{8.99e9N*m2/C2*(-4e-6C)}{8m}) = 0

  • This means that the potential due to both charges is 0, at point C.

d)

  • If the potential at point C is 0, assuming that at infinity V=0 also, we conclude that there is no work required to bring the charge of 5μC from infinity to the point C, as no potential difference exists between both points.

1) a substance made by mixing other substances together.

2) diverse in character or content.

3) of the same kind; alike.

4) a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation.

5) a homogeneous noncrystalline substance consisting of large molecules or ultramicroscopic particles of one substance dispersed through a second substance. Colloids include gels, sols, and emulsions; the particles do not settle, and cannot be separated out by ordinary filtering or centrifuging like those in a suspension.

Helen [10]

Answer:

The thrown rock will strike the ground 2.42s earlier than the dropped rock.

Explanation:

<u>Known Data</u>

  • y_{i}=300m
  • y_{f}=0m
  • v_{iD}=0m/s
  • v_{iT}=-29m/s, it is negative as is directed downward

<u>Time of the dropped Rock</u>

We can use y_{f}=y_{i}+v_{iy}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}, to find the total time of fall, so 0=300m-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})t_{D}^{2}}{2}, then clearing for t_{D}.

t_{D}=\sqrt[2]{\frac{300m}{4.9m/s^{2}}} =\sqrt[2]{61.22s^{2}} =7.82s

<u>Time of the Thrown Rock</u>

We can use y_{f}=y_{i}+v_{iy}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}, to find the total time of fall, so 0=300-29t_{T}-\frac{(9.8)t_{T}^{2}}{2}, then, 0=-4.9t_{T}^{2}-29t_{T}+300, as it is a second-grade polynomial, we find that its positive root is t_{T}=5.4s

Finally, we can find how much earlier does the thrown rock strike the ground, so t_{E}=t_{D}-t_{T}=7.82s-5.4s=2.42s
