how much external energy is required to bring three identical point charges (20uc) from infinity and place them at the corners o

Semenov [28]4 years ago

Answer:

U = 269.4 kJ

Explanation:

The energy required to place the three charges from infinity is given by:

U=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r_{1,2}}+k\frac{q_1q_3}{r_{1,3}}+k\frac{q_2q_3}{r_{2,3}}

In this case, you have that

q1 = q2 = q3 = q = 20uC

r12 = r13 = r23 = r = 2m

k: Coulomb constant = 8.98*10^9 NM^2/C^2

Then, you replace the values of q, r and k in the equation for the energy U:

U=3k\frac{q^2}{r}\\\\U=3(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{(20*10^{-6}C)^2}{2m}=269400\ J=269.4\ kJ

hence, the required energy is 269.4 kJ

Describe how you can see and feel sound waves
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Sound is a vibration, or wave, that travels through the air. Sound waves are invisible to our eyes; unless we find a way to make the sound waves move something that we can see. In this activity, your child will use different noise-making objects to cause sound waves and make sand visibly move.

Sound wave can be described by five characteristics: Wavelength, Amplitude, Time-Period, Frequency and Velocity or Speed. The minimum distance in which a sound wave repeats itself is called its wavelength.

Explanation:

When the vibrating air hits your eardrum, it causes your eardrum to vibrate, just as the balloon did. These vibrations are transferred through the tiny bones in your ear to the inner ear. These vibrations are detected by nerves, which send impulses that your brain "hears" as sound.

Two children stand on a platform at the top of a curving slide next to a backyard swimming pool. At the same moment the smaller
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

i )

In a conservative field like gravitational field , loss of potential energy  or work done , depends upon the initial and final point and not the manner in which 2 nd point has been reached . Since the initial and final point is same in both the cases of straight and curved path , final velocity will remain same for both of them .

Hence , due to increased mass of larger child , his kinetic energy will be greater .

ii ) Since the initial and final point is same in both the cases of straight and curved path , final velocity will remain same for both of them .

iii ) Smaller child undergo free fall , therefore , he will fall with acceleration g . The larger child falls on curved path . So , he will have only a component of

vertical g at any moment  . hence average acceleration  will be less.
