The law of conservation of energy<span> is a </span>law<span> of science that states that </span>energy<span> cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from </span>one<span> form into another or transferred from </span>one object to another. In my personal opinion, lets think of a example like this water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. This energy is then used to rotate the turbine of a generator to produce electricity. In this process, the potential energy of water in a dam can be turned into kinetic energy which can then become electric energy.<span>

The total energy of an isolated system remains constant it would be said to be conserved over time. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, instead it transforms from one form to another. Satellites in space and pendulums are examples of conservation of energy.

Two stationary positive point charges, charge 1 of magnitude 3.90 nC and charge 2 of magnitude 1.80 nC, are separated by a dista
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

v = 7793150 m/s

Explanation:

First, we are going to calculate the electrical potential in the point middle between the two charges

Remember that the electrical potential can be calculated as:

v = \frac{kQ}{r}

                 Where     k = 8.9874 x 10^{9} \frac{Nm^{2} }{C^{2} }

and it is satisfy the superposition principle, thus

v = \frac{8.9874x10^{9}(3.90x10^{-9} ) }{0.23} +  \frac{8.9874x10^{9}(1.80x10^{-9} ) }{0.23}

v = 222.73v

The electrical potential at 10 cm from charge 1 is:

v = \frac{8.9874x10^{9}(3.90x10^{-9} ) }{0.1} +  \frac{8.9874x10^{9}(1.80x10^{-9} ) }{0.36}

v = 395.44 v

Since the work - energy theorem, we have:

q\Delta v = \frac{mv^{2} }{2}

                     where q is the electron's charge and m is the electron's mass

Therefore:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2q\Delta v}{m} }

v = 7793150 m/s
