The Law of Conservation of Energy states that, in an isolated system, energy remains constant and can not be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another. This law was created by Julius Robert Mayer.

Answer:

This is because energy can neither be created or destroyed but can only be transferred from one state to the other

Answer:

Velocity of the electron at the centre of the ring, $v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Linear charge density of the ring= $0.1\ \rm \mu C/m$
Radius of the ring R=0.2 m
Distance of point from the centre of the ring=x=0.2 m

Total charge of the ring

$Q=0.1\times2\pi R\\Q=0.1\times2\pi 0.4\\Q=0.251\ \rm \mu C$

Potential due the ring at a distance x from the centre of the rings is given by

$V=\dfrac{kQ}{\sqrt{(R^2+x^2)}}\\$

The potential difference when the electron moves from x=0.2 m to the centre of the ring is given by

$\Delta V=\dfrac{kQ}{R}-\dfrac{kQ}{\sqrt{(R^2+x^2)}}\\\Delta V={9\times10^9\times0.251\times10^{-6}} \left( \dfrac{1}{0.4}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{(0.4^2+0.2^2)}} \right )\\\Delta V=5.12\times10^2\ \rm V$

Let $\Delta U$ be the change in potential Energy given by

$\Delta U=e\times \Delta V\\\Delta U=1.67\times10^{-19}\times5.12\times10^{2}\\\Delta U=8.55\times10^{-17}\ \rm J$

Change in Potential Energy of the electron will be equal to the change in kinetic Energy of the electron

$\Delta U=\dfrac{mv^2}{2}\\8.55\times10^{-17}=\dfrac{9.1\times10^{-31}v^2}{2}\\v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s$

So the electron will be moving with $v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s$

the gravitational force between the sun and earth is larger than sun and the moon. what do you think the reason for this is?

Tems11 [23]

Answer: The greater an object's mass, the more gravitational force it exerts.

Explanation: So, to begin answering your question, Earth has a greater gravitational pull than the moon simply because the Earth is more massive. Sorry if I get this wrong. I am in 5th grade! ♥

what was the mass of a cannkn ball whose velocity is 200m/s if it were shot from 1000kg that recoils a 2m/s. Solve step by step

Whitepunk [10]

The famous Newton’s Third Law states that “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.”

By using this,

10grams or 0.01kg of bullet with speed 400 m/sec and 5kg gun recoil with speed suppose ‘v’.

0.01×400=5×v

4/5=v

v=0.8m/sec ANSWER.
