Two particles with charges of 5.00 μ C and -3.00 μC are placed 0.250 m apart. Where can a third charge be placed so that the net

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

0.86 m

Explanation:

q₁ = magnitude of positive charge = 5 x 10⁻⁶ C

q₂ = magnitude of negative charge = 3 x 10⁻⁶ C

r = distance between the two charges = 0.250 m

d = distance of the location of third charge from negative charge

q = magnitude of charge on third charge

Using equilibrium of electric force on third charge

$\frac{kq_{2}q}{d^{2}} = \frac{kq_{1}q}{(r+d)^{2}}$

$\frac{q_{2}}{d^{2}} = \frac{q_{1}}{(r+d)^{2}}$

$\frac{(5\times 10^{-6})}{(0.250+d)^{2}} = \frac{(3\times 10^{-6})}{(d^{2}}$

d = 0.86 m

An object weighs 100 newtons on earth.What is its weight on the moon?

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

a) The gravitational acceleration at the surface of the Moon is g moon=1.67 m/s

2

The ratio of weights (for a given mass ) is the ratio of g-values, so

=(100N)(1.67/9.8)=17N.

(b) For the force on that object caused by Earth's gravity to equal 17 N, then the free fall acceleration at its location must be

<h2>Apartment Explosion Reported </h2>

The apartment’s explosion, reportedly caused by a gas leak, produced a violent release of gas and heat. The heat increased the temperature of the air in the room, which means an increase in the air's molecular kinetic energy.

When heat is provided then temperature increases and the molecules of substances move rapidly by increase of kinetic energy (K.E) temperature increases. It is understood that heat increases temperature.

How do i find stretch? The problem in questioning has already given me the elastic energy and k-value, but I have no idea how to

finlep [7]

Answer:

Stretch can be obtained using the Elastic potential energy formula.

The expression to find the stretch (x) is $x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}$

Explanation:

Given:

Elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring mass system and the spring constant (k) are given.

To find: Elongation in the spring (x).

We can find the elongation or stretch of the spring using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy (EPE).

The formula to find EPE is given as:

$EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

Rewriting the above expression in terms of 'x', we get:

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}$

Example:

If EPE = 100 J and spring constant, k = 2 N/m.

Elongation or stretch is given as:

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 100}{2}}\\\\x=\sqrt{100}=10\ m$

Therefore, the stretch in the spring is 10 m.

So, stretch in the spring can be calculated using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy.
