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

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

If Star A is magnitude 1.0 and Star B is magnitude 9.6 , which is brighter and by what factor?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Star A is brighter than Star B by a factor of 2754.22

Explanation:

Lets assume,

the magnitude of star A = m₁ = 1

the magnitude of star B = m₂ = 9.6

the apparent brightness of star A and star B are b₁ and b₂ respectively

Then, relation between the difference of magnitudes and apparent brightness of two stars are related as give below: (m_{2} - m_{1}) = 2.5\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})

The current magnitude scale followed was formalized by Sir Norman Pogson in 1856. On this scale a magnitude 1 star is 2.512 times brighter than magnitude 2 star. A magnitude 2 star is 2.512 time brighter than a magnitude 3 star. That means a magnitude 1 star is (2.512x2.512) brighter than magnitude 3 bright star.

We need to find the factor by which star A is brighter than star B. Using the equation given above,

(9.6 - 1) = 2.5\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})

\frac{8.6}{2.5}  = \log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})

\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2}) = 3.44

Thus,

(b_{1}/b_{2}) = 2754.22

It means star A is 2754.22 time brighter than Star B.

The pressure of air pushing down on a house roof is extremely large. Why is the roof not crushed?
Degger [83]
There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.

A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 88 ft/s. What is the height (in feet) of the cliff
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

the height (in feet) of the cliff is 121 ft

Explanation:

A stone hit the cliff with

speed, v = 88 ft/s

Acceleration, a= 32 ft/s^2

initial speed, u = 0 ft/s

height is h.

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations, Equation of motion describes change in velocity, depending on the acceleration and the distance traveled

so, writing the formula of Equation of motion:

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*h

substituting the appropriate values,

(88)^2 - 0 = 2*32* h

h=(88)^2 / 64

h= 121 ft

hence

the height (in feet) of the cliff is 121 ft

An electric field from a charge has a magnitude of 1.5 × 104 N/C at a certain location that points inward. If another charge wit
zysi [14]

Answer:

-0.045 N, they will attract each other

Explanation:

The strength of the electrostatic force exerted on a charge is given by

F=qE

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

E is the electric field magnitude

In this problem,

q=3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

E=-1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C (negative because inward)

So the strength of the electrostatic force is

F=(-3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C)(1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C)=-0.045 N

Moreover, the charge will be attracted towards the source of the electric field. In fact, the text says that the electric field points inward: this means that the source charge is negative, so the other charge (which is positive) is attracted towards it.
