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

Find the mass of a 52.2N bucket.​
Goshia [24]

Answer:

m = 5.22 kg

Explanation:

The force acting on the bucket is 52.2 N.

We need to find the mass of the bucket.

The force acting on the bucket is given by :

F = mg

g is acceleration due to gravity

m is mass

m=\dfrac{F}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{52.2}{10}\\\\=5.22\ kg

So, the mass of the bucket is 5.22 kg.

Why do the graphs differ?​
melisa1 [442]

Well first graph represents rectangular hyperbola

vu = c^2 ( c is constant)

AS 1/v + 1/u = 1/f

Take1/ f to be constant c

1/v = c - 1/u

it is of the form y = - x + k

Slope = -1 having intercept k as shown in fig 2
