Answer:

p = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ C m     and  ΔU = 2.7 10 -11 J

Explanation:

The dipole moment of a dipole is the product of charges by distance

                        p = 2 a q

With 2a the distance between the charges and the magnitude of the charges

                        p = 1.7 10⁻⁹ 6.8 10⁻⁶

                        p = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ C m

 

The potential energie dipole  is described by the expression

                       U = - p E cos θ

Where θ is the angle between the dipole and the electric field, the zero value of the potential energy is located for when the dipole is perpendicular to the electric field line

Orientation parallel to the field

                      θ = 0º

                      U = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ 1160 cos 0

                      U1 = 1.35 10⁻¹¹ J

Antiparallel orientation

                       θ = 180º

                      cos 180 = -1

                      U2 = -1.35 10⁻¹¹ J

The difference in energy between these two configurations is the subtraction of the energies

                         ΔU = | U1 -U2 |

                         ΔU = 1.35 10-11 - (-1.35 10-11)

                         ΔU = 2.7 10 -11 J

What is a good topic sentence when writing about what happens to your body if you drink a Coke ?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Based on research by health writer Wade Meredith, it explains that a 330ml can of Coca Cola contains so much sugar, your body should vomit - but the phosphoric acid "cuts the flavor", helping you keep the liquid down.

After 40 minutes, your blood sugar has spiked, your pupils dilated, and your blood pressure has risen.

• Here's what to drink to be healthy

The body starts to produce more dopamine, a neurotransmitter that controls the brain's pleasure centres - "physically the same way heroin works, by the way".

What is centripetal force?
daser333 [38]
The centripetal force is force acting on a body in circular motion. In circular motion, velocity is always on tangent and if we took 2 different positions on a circle, the change on velocity is a vector pointing in the middle of circle. In circular motion velocity is constant, and acceleration lies on radius of circle pointing to te middle. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration, and the force is centripetal.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

10.0     zero, by Gauss' Law the symmetrical distribution will produce no internal electric fields

21.5     E = k Q / R^2     behaves as if all charge were at center

E = 9 E9 * 29.5 E-6 / .215^2 = 5.74E6 N/C
