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.

2. In the activities below indicate if friction is useful or not useful? Explain your answer. i. Writing yes it is useful becaus
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes motion. One or two of the advantages of friction are break and ability of an object to walk.

Writing yes it is useful because when your writing because friction helps you see what your writing

ii. Rubbing. Yes, it is useful.

friction make it possible for two object to rub each other

iii. Skiing. No. It is not useful because With presence of friction, skiing will not be possible.

iv. Rotating a wheel No. It is not useful because Friction will oppose the rotation of the wheel.

Assume that the blocks are accelerating, and the x components of their accelerations at a certain moment are a1x and a2x. find t
Serga [27]

we know that center of mass is given as

r = (m₁ r_{1x} + m₂ r_{2x})/(m₁ + m₂)

taking derivative both side relative to "t"

dr/dt = (m₁ dr_{1x}/dt + m₂ dr_{2x}/dt)/(m₁ + m₂)

v = (m₁ v_{1x} + m₂ v_{2x})/(m₁ + m₂)

taking derivative again relative to "t" both side

dv/dt = (m₁ dv_{1x}/dt + m₂ dv_{2x}/dt)/(m₁ + m₂)

a= (m₁ a_{1x} + m₂ a_{2x})/(m₁ + m₂)

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

22145.27733 ft

124984.76055 ft

Explanation:

The equation of pressure is

P=P_0e^{-kh}

where,

P_0 =Atmospheric pressure = 800 mbar

k = Constant

h = Altitude = 35000 ft

P=\dfrac{1}{3}P_0

\dfrac{1}{3}P_0=P_0e^{-k35000}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{3}=e^{-k35000}\\\Rightarrow 3=e^{k35000}\\\Rightarrow ln3=k35000\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{ln3}{35000}\\\Rightarrow k=3.13\times 10^{-5}

Now

P=\dfrac{1}{2}P_0

ln2=kh\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln2}{k}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln2}{3.13\times 10^{-5}}\\\Rightarrow h=22145.27733\ ft

The altitude will be 22145.27733 ft

P=0.02P_0

0.02P_0=P_0e^{-kh}\\\Rightarrow 0.02=e^{-3.13\times 10^{-5}h}\\\Rightarrow ln0.02=-3.13\times 10^{-5}h\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln0.02}{-3.13\times 10^{-5}}\\\Rightarrow h=124984.76055\ ft

The elevation is 124984.76055 ft
