To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to the electric potential energy, defined from the laws of Coulomb for which it is necessary to,

U = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r}

Here,

k = Coulomb's constant

q_{1,2}= Charge of each object

r = Distance,

Our values are given as,

q_1 = 2nC = 2*10^{-9}

q_2 =3mC =3*10^{-3} C

r = 0.2m

Finally replacing we have that,

U = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r}

U = \frac{(9*10^9)(2*10^{-9})(3*10^{-3})}{0.2}

U = 0.27J

Therefore the energy necessary to move the particle is 0.27J

What is the difference between polarization and induction?

In which it is the plane in which charges move. for example in electromagnetic waves polarization<span> means the plane in which electrons oscillate. ... it is the distribution of electric charges (electron) in an object. </span>induction<span> of charges takes place in some insulators just by some mechanical interaction such as rubbing</span>

Most comets have short periods and orbit close to the ecliptic plane. (T/F)
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Most comets are located outside the solar system, in part of the cloud that originated from dust and gas that has remained virtually untouchable for billions of years. The orbit of these comets can reach the order of a light year. Thus, they are called long-period comets.

How does a parallel circuit differ from a series circuit?
8_murik_8 [283]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. A parallel circuit differ from a series circuit in a sense that a <span>series circuit has one path for electrons, but a parallel circuit has more than one path. In a parallel circuit there two or more paths for current to flow while a series circuit only has one.</span>

An electron is released from rest at a distance of 6.00 cm from a proton. If the proton is held in place, how fast will the elec
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

91.87 m/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • x = initial distance of the electron from the proton = 6 cm = 0.06 m
  • y = initial distance of the electron from the proton = 3 cm = 0.03 m
  • u = initial velocity of the electron = 0 m/s

<u>Assume:</u>

  • m = mass of an electron = 9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg
  • v = final velocity of the electron
  • e = magnitude of charge on an electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C
  • p = magnitude of charge on a proton = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

We know that only only electric field due to proton causes to move from a distance of 6 cm from proton to 3 cm distance from it. This means the electric force force does work on the electron to move it from one initial position to the final position which is equal to the change in potential energy of the electron due to proton.

Now, according to the work-energy theorem, the total work done by the electric force on the electron due to proton is equal to the kinetic energy change in it.

\therefore \textrm{Kinetic energy change}= \textrm{Change in potential energy}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)= \dfrac{kpe}{y}-\dfrac{kpe}{x}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-(0)^2)= \dfrac{kpe}{0.03}-\dfrac{kpe}{0.06}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{3}-\dfrac{100kpe}{6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{6}\\

\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100kpe\times 2}{6m}\\\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{3m}\\\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100\times 9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{3\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}}\\\Rightarrow v^2=8.44\times 10^3\\\Rightarrow v=91.87\ m/s\\

Hence, when the electron is at a distance of c cm from the proton, it moves with a velocity of 91.87 m/s.
