Consider a situation in which you are moving two point charges such that the potential energy between them decreases. (NOTE: ign

ore gravity).
This means that you are moving the charges:
a) Closer to each other
b) Farther apart
c) Either A or B

Oxana [17]3 years ago

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The potential energy decreases in the case when the charges are opposite and they attract each other.

In this case there is no external energy required in order to put the charges together.

This is so because the charges are opposite and they will attract each other. Yes, the only condition should be that the charges should be alike.

Example: a negative charge and a positive charge.

A train leaves the train station at noon and travels at a constant speed of vt = 50 mi/hr on a straight track. 2 hr later, a car
asambeis [7]

Answer:

350 miles

Explanation:

When the car starts 2 hours later, the train would have a head start of

50 * 2 = 100 miles

The speed of the car relative to the train is

70 - 50 = 20 mi/hr

For the car to catch up with the train, it must cover the 100 miles difference at the rate of 20mi/hr. So the time it would need to cover this difference is

100 / 20 = 5 hours

After 5 hours, the car would have traveled a distance of

5 * 70 = 350 miles which is also the distance from the station to where the car catches up

Water is being boiled in an open kettle that has a 0.52-cm-thick circular aluminum bottom with a radius of 12.0 cm. If the water
tangare [24]

Answer:

T_b=107.3784\ ^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given:

  • thickness of the base of the kettle, dx=0.52\ cm=5.2\times 10^{-3}\ m
  • radius of the base of the kettle, r=0.12\ m
  • temperature of the top surface of the kettle base, T_t=100^{\circ}C
  • rate of heat transfer through the kettle to boil water, \dot Q=0.409\ kg.min^{-1}
  • We have the latent heat vaporization of water, L=2260\times 10^3\ J.kg^{-1}
  • and thermal conductivity of aluminium, k=240\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}

<u>So, the heat rate:</u>

\dot Q=\frac{0.409\times 2260000}{60}

\dot Q=15405.67\ W

<u>From the Fourier's law of conduction we have:</u>

\dot Q=k.A.\frac{dT}{dx}

\dot Q=k\times \pi.r^2\times \frac{T_b-T_t}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}

where:

A= area of the surface through which conduction occurs

T_b= temperature of the bottom surface

15405.67=240\times \pi\times 0.12^2\times \frac{T_b-100}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}

T_b=107.3784\ ^{\circ}C is the temperature of the bottom of the base surface of the kettle.

Study the scenario.
Otrada [13]

If no other forces act on the object, according to Newton’s first law, the spacecraft will continue moving at a constant velocity, assuming that a planet or something with large mass doesn’t cross its path. Forces are not required to continue the motion of an object on a frictionless plane at a constant rate.
