Which equation is used to calculate the electric potential in an electric field from a point charge?

Physics
1 answer:
scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The electric potential (voltage) V produced by a point charge Q, at any point in space, is given by the following equation:

V=k\frac{Q}{r}

Where:

k=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} is the Coulomb's constant

r is the distance  

The result is a scalar quantity, is defined as the electric potential energy per unit of charge and determines the electric influence exerted by the charge on that point of space.

A freight car moves along a friction less level railroad track at constant speed. The car is open on top. A large load of coal i
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The velocity of the freight car decreases.

Explanation:

This question is answered by the conservation of momentum principle.

When the freight car is moving at a certain speed, it has a constant momentum.

We will call this M1.

The equation for M1 will be:

M1 = Mass * Speed

Now when the coal is dumped into the freight car, the Mass increases.

Since conservation of momentum states that the momentum will remain the same. We have:

M1 = (Mass of freight + Mass of coal) * Speed

Since M1 is constant, if the mass increases, the speed had to decrease to keep the equation true.

Some machines do not multiply the force that is applied to them
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Machine Efficiency

Explanation:

Efficiency is the percent of work put into a machine by the user (input work) that becomes work done by the machine (output work). The output work is always less than the input work because some of the input work is used to overcome friction. Therefore, efficiency is always less than 100 percent

A 2.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor with a spacing of 0.50 mm is charged to 200 V. What are (a) the total energy stored i
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

(A) Total energy will be equal to 0.044\times 10^{-5}J

(b) Energy density will be equal to 0.0175J/m^3

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the plate d = 2 cm = 0.02 m

So area of the plate A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.02^2=0.001256m^2

Distance between the plates d = 0.50 mm = 0.50\times 10^{-3}m

Permitivity of free space \epsilon _0=8.85\times 10^{-12}F/m

Potential difference V =200 volt

Capacitance between the plate is equal to C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.001256}{0.50\times 10^{-3}}=0.022\times 10^{-9}F

(a) Total energy stored in the capacitor is equal to

E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

E=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.022\times 10^{-9}\times 200^2=0.044\times 10^{-5}J

(b) Volume will be equal to V=Ad, here A is area and d is distance between plates

V=0.001256\times 0.02=2.512\times 10^{-5}m^3

So energy density =\frac{Energy}{volume}=\frac{0.044\times 10^{-5}}{2.512\times 10^{-5}}=0.0175J/m^3

Find the displacement in meters a runner would travel in 5 hours at an average velocity of 12km/h to the southwest
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

60,000m

Explanation:

Convert km/h to m/s by multiplying with 1000/3600.

Convert hours to seconds by multiplying with 3600.

Because displacement is a vector quantity and deals with the shortest distance between points, simply plug it into the equation s=vt.

A 15.0 cm object is 12.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -6.0 cm. What is the height of the image produced by
Vlad [161]

Answer: D. 5cm

Explanation:

Given the following :

Focal length (f) = - 6.0 cm

Height of object = 15.0cm

Distance of object from mirror (u) = 12.0cm

Height of image produced by the mirror =?

Firstly, we calculate the distance of the image from the mirror.

Using the mirror formula

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/-6 - 1/12

1/v = - 1/6 - 1/12

1/v = (- 2 - 1) / 12

1/v = - 3 / 12

v = 12 / - 3

v = - 4

Using the relation :

(Image height / object height) = (- image distance / object distance)

Image height / 15 = - (-4) / 12

Image height / 15 = 4 / 12

Image height = (15 × 4) / 12

Image height = 60 / 12

Image height = 5cm
