What is the potential energy of two charges of +4.6 μC and +1.0 μC that are separated by a distance of 10.0 cm?

Physics
1 answer:
Artist 52 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

U = 0.413 J

Explanation:

the potential energy between two charges q1 and q2 is given by the following formula:

U=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r}    (1)

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

q1: first charge = 4.6 μC = 4.6*10^-6 C

q2: second charge = 1.0 μC*10^-6 C

r: distance between charges = 10.0 cm = 0.10 m

You replace the values of all variables in the equation (1):

U=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{(4.6*10^{-6}C)(1.0*10^{-6}C)}{0.10m}=0.413\ J

Hence, the energy between charges is 0.413 J

What are electrons and how are they involved in creating and electric current?
Artist 52 [7]
Electrons are a stable sub atomic particle that has a negative charge and is found in all atoms and is the main carrier of electricity through solids.

In a metal, some of the electrons can escape from the atoms and are free to move around inside the metal. These electrons are referred to as 'conduction electrons'. 

<span>A current is a flow of charge. In metal a current is the flow of the conduction electrons through the metal. This can occur when connected to battery for example: The battery pumps the conduction electrons around the circuit. </span>

Imagine your teacher asks you to design an experiment where you test the effect of temperature on the growth of a plant. You hav
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Dependent variable- The growth of plant in the form of height

2. Independent variable- different temperature

3. Constant variable- The amount of water, amount of sunlight, type of soil.

Explanation:

A Scientific experiment must include three types of variables which are: The independent, dependent and the constant variable.

1. Independent variable- The variable which can be modified or changed either on its own or manually. The variable directly influences the variable to be studied. In the given condition, the independent variable is the different temperature provided to the plants.

2. Dependent variable- The variable which is being studied in the experiment and directly influenced by the independent variable is the growth of the plant which is measured in the form of height.

3. Constant variable- The variable which is kept constant throughout the experiment and remains the same which could be the amount of water amount of sunlight and type of soil.

How quickly do muscles become fatigued?​
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Fatigue is usually defined as the reversible decline of performance during activity, and most recovery occurs within the first hour. However, there is also a slowly reversible component that can take several days to reverse (155). Muscle injury also causes a decline in performance that reverses only very slowly.

Could Mars be a suitable alternative to Earth as a second home for humans? Explain your answer.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

After the Earth, Mars is the most habitable planet in our solar system due to several reasons: Its soil contains water to extract. It isn't too cold or too hot. ... Gravity on Mars is 38% that of our Earth's, which is believed by many to be sufficient for the human body to adapt to.
