Answer:

The ratio (U₁/U₂) = 6

Explanation:

U, the potential energy is given as

U = kqQ/r

k = Coulomb's constant

q = charge we're concerned about

Q = charge of the negative plate of the capacitor

r = distance of q from the negative plate of the capacitor.

For charge q₁

U₁ = kq₁Q/s

U₂ = kq₂Q/2s

But q₂ = q₁/3

U₂ becomes U₂ = kq₁Q/6s

U₁ = kq₁Q/s

U₂ = kq₁Q/6s

(U₁/U₂) = 6

Calculate the number of electrons passing a point in the wire in 1 min when the current is 1 A
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Explanation:

When one coulomb charge passes through any cross section of the wire per second,the current passing is one ampere. Charge of electron ,e=1.6X10^-19C. n=1/(1.6X10^-19)=6.25X10^18.Sep 17, 2017

Samantha is refinishing her rusty wheelbarrow. She moves her sandpaper back and forth 45 times over a rusty area, each time movi
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

W = 12.96 J

Explanation:

The force acting in the direction of motion of the sand paper is the frictional force. So, we first calculate the frictional force:

F = μR

where,

F = Friction Force = ?

μ = 0.92

R = Normal Force = 2.6 N

Therefore,

F = (0.92)(2.6 N)

F = 2.4 N

Now, the displacement is given as:

d = (0.12 m)(45)

d = 5.4 m

So, the work done will be:

W = F d

W = (2.4 N)(5.4 m)

<u>W = 12.96 J</u>

An object is placed to the left of a convex mirror, such that the object-to-image distance is 140 cm.
labwork [276]

Answer:

The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object to Image distance d = 140 cm

Image distance v= 35 cm

We need to calculate the object distance

u = d-v

u = 140-35=105\ cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of mirror

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{-105}+\dfrac{1}{35}

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{2}{105}

f=52.5\ cm

Hence, The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.
