Question (continuation)

(a) What is the change in electric potential energy when the dipole moment of a molecule changes its orientation with respect to E S from parallel to perpendicular?

(b) At what absolute temperature T is the average translational kinetic energy 3/2kT of a molecule equal to the change in potential energy calculated in part (a)?

Answer:

a. 9.0 * 10^-24 Joules

b. 0.44K

Explanation:

Given

Let p = dipole moment = 5.0 * 10^-30 Cm

Let E = Magnitude = 1.8 * 10^6 N/m

a.

The charge in electric potential = Final Charge - Initial Charge

Initial Charge = Potential Energy

Initial Energy = -pE cosФ where Ф = 0

So, initial Energy = - 5.0 * 10^-30 * 1.8 * 10^6

Initial Energy = -9 * 10^-24 Joules

Final Energy = 0

Charge = 0 - (-9.0 * 10^-24)

Charge = 9.0 * 10^-24 Joules

b.

Absolute Temperature

Change in Kinetic Energy = Change in Potential Energy = 9.0 * 10^-24

Change in Kinetic Energy = 3/2kT where k is Steven-Boltzmann constant = 1.38 * 10^-23

So,

9.0 * 10^-24 = 3/2 * 1.38 * 10^-23 * T

T = (9.0 * 10^-24 * 2)/(3 * 1.38 * 10^-23)

T = (18 * 10^-24)/(4.14 * 10^-23)

T = 0.44K

A charge of 31.0 μC is to be split into two parts that are then separated by 24.0 mm, what is the maximum possible magnitude of

miskamm [114]

Answer:

1.72 x 10³ N.

Explanation:

When a charge is split equally and placed at a certain distance , maximum electrostatic force is possible.

So the charges will be each equal to

31/2 = 15.5 x 10⁻⁶ C

F = K Q q / r²

= $\frac{9\times10^9\times(10.5)^2\times10^{-12}}{(24\times10^{-3})^2}$

= 1.72 x 10³ N.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

a. Constant gossiping, and talking negative about a student could cause them to feel very very ill about their beliefs, their familly, school, clothes, etc. this scenario will make the student feel alienated.

b. The club should advise the students that they should not participate in these talks, allow them into their groups, and should try to talk people out of those conversations.

c. The advice will keep several kids pull away from talking negatively about the kid, help stop the ill intended gossip, and hopefully make them feel better.
