Three equal 1.60-μCμC point charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle with sides 0.800 mm long. What is the p

3 0

Answer:

= 0.086J

Explanation:

we are given three equal charges q₁ q₂ q₃ = 1.60 μC

sides of triangle = 0.800m

U = 1/4πε₀(3q²/r)

1/4πε₀ = 9.0 × 10⁹ N.m²/C²

U = 9.0 × 10⁹ ((3 * 1.60 × 10⁻⁶)² / (0.800))

= 0.086J

How does an airbag help protect a passenger in a car accident?
Novosadov [1.4K]
Good question. It like a fail safe,if you hit a car tail gate going slightly fast it come out to protect you from hitting your on the the wheel or the mirror. See if you don't have a seat belt or it just don't fully stop you the airbag might help.Like concussions.  I Hope This Help you :)

Car B has the same mass as Car A but is going twice as fast. If the same constant force brings both cars to a stop, how far will
evablogger [386]

Answer:four times

Explanation:

Given

mass of both cars A and B are same suppose m

but velocity of car B is same as of car A

Suppose velocity of car A is u

Velocity of car B is 2 u

A constant force is applied on both the cars such that they come to rest by travelling certain distance

using  to find the distance traveled

where, v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration(offered by force)

s=displacement

final velocity is zero

For car A

0-(u)^2=2\times a\times s

s_a=\frac{u^2}{2a}------1

For car B

0-(2u)^2=2\times a\times s_b

s_b=\frac{4u^2}{2a}----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

\frac{s_a}{s_b}=\frac{1}{4}

thus s_b=4\cdot s_a

distance traveled by car B is four time of car A

The superheroine Xanaxa, who has a mass of 68.1 kg , is pursuing the 75.3 kg archvillain Lexlax. She leaps from the ground to th
Alexandra [31]

The concept required to solve this problem is associated with potential energy. Recall that potential energy is defined as the product between mass, gravity, and change in height. Mathematically it can be described as

U = mg\Delta h

Here,

\Delta h = Change in height

m = mass of super heroine

g = Acceleration due to gravity

The change in height will be,

\Delta h = h_f - h_i

The final position of the heroin is below the ground level,

h_f = -16.1m

The initial height will be the zero point of our system of reference,

\Delta h = -16.1m-0m

\Delta h = -16.1m

Replacing all this values we have,

U = mg\Delta h

U = (68.1kg)(9.8m/s^2)(-16.1m)

U = -10744.81J

Since the final position of the heroine is located below the ground, there will net loss of gravitational potential energy of 10744.81J

IM SOO CONFUSED PLS HELP!! The mass of the nucleus is approximately EQUAL to the mass number multiplied by ____ Atomic Mass unit
nevsk [136]

Answer:

option a.

Explanation:

We can think of an atom as a nucleus (where the protons and neutrons are) and some electrons orbiting it.

We also know that the mass of an electron is a lot smaller than the mass of a proton or the mass of an electron.

So, if all the protons and electrons of an atom are in the nucleus, we know that most of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus of that atom.

Then we define the mass number, which is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Such that the mass of a proton (or a neutron) is almost equal to 1u

Then if we define A as the total number of protons and neutrons, and each one of these weights about 1u

(where u = atomic mass unit)

Then the weight of the nucleus is about A times 1u, or:

A*1u = A atomic mass units.

Then the correct option is:

The mass of the nucleus is approximately EQUAL to the mass number multiplied by __1__ Atomic Mass unit.

option a.
