When charged particles are separated by an infinite dis- tance, the electric potential energy of the pair is zero. When 19. 7. t

he particles are brought close, the electric potential energy of a pair with the same sign is positive, whereas the electric potential energy of a pair with opposite signs is negative. Give a physical explanation of this statement.

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy Is given as.

U=kq1q2/r

Where k is a constant

q1 is charge

And q2 is also a charge

r is the distant between the two charges

When distance between the two charges is infinity then, the potential energy will b zero

U=kq1q2/∞

Therefore

U=0

Thus, the potential energy is zero when charged particles are separated by an infinite distance.

Let considered that both charges are positive.

Then U becomes

U=k(+q1)(+q2)/r

This shows that the energy is positive when the charges are positively charge. Also if the charges are also both negative charged the total energy will also be positive

U=k(-q1)(-q2)/r.

Both when their are opposite charges, the energy will be negative

U=k(-q1)(+q2)/r

U will be negative

To understand the experiment that led to the discovery of the photoelectric effect.
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

A) Emin = eV

B) Vo = (E_light - Φ) ÷ e

Explanation:

A)

Energy of electron is the product of electron charge and the applied potential difference.

The energy of an electron in this electric field with potential difference V will be eV. Since this is the least energy that the electron must reach to break out, then the minimum energy required by this electron will be;

Emin = eV

B)

The maximum stopping potential energy is eVo,

The energy of the electron due to the light is E_light.

If the minimum energy electron must posses is Φ, then the minimum energy electron must have to reach the detectors will be equal to the energy of the light minus the maximum stopping potential energy

Φ = E_light - eVo

Therefore,

eVo = E_light - Φ

Vo = (E_light - Φ) ÷ e

omeli [17]

pavement is defined as the surface of Road or sidewalk.

for example, the surface of Expressway.

There are two types of pavement.

rigid pavement which consists of one layer.

flexible pavement which consist of multiple layers.

While driving on roads of rural areas, if our right wheel moves off the pavement, we should always hold the steering wheel firmly and then take our foot off the pedal, then apply brake lightly until we are moving at a low speed.

if you run off the pavement, you should: turn the steering wheel quickly toward the road steer straight and slow down before attempting to return to the pavement steer straight ahead and speed up apply the brakes hard

The escape velocity at the surface of Earth is approximately 11 km/s. What is the mass, in units of ME (the mass of the Earth),
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:11 km/s

Explanation:

Given

Escape velocity at the surface of earth is 11 km/s

Escape velocity is given by

V_e=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

Escape velocity at the surface of earth

11=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}--------------------1

If Escape velocity is three times and the radius is also the three times

V_e_2=\sqrt{\frac{2G(3M)}{3R}}

V_e_2=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=V_e

i.e. V_e_2=11 km/s
