A sphere with a charge q is fixed at the bottom left corner of the right triangle shown in the figure. Points P and R are at the

location shown. A test charge is place at point P, and the charge-sphere system has potential energy U0. If the test charge is then moved to point R, what will the potential energy of the charge-sphere system be? ​

Answer:

the final potential energy of this system is 3U0/10

Explanation:

We are given

charge at left end  and another test charge at point p

Potential energy is given by  = \frac{k*Q1*Q2 }{R}

where k is electrostatics constant = 9 *10^9

Q1 = first charge , Q2=  test charge

R= distance between charges

potential at point p

U0 = k*Q1*Q2 /3 ⇒ kq1q2 = 3U0 ..............1

now the test charge moves to point R

using Pytahgoreou theorem

R(distance) = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2} = 10

New Potential energy

U1 = kq1*q2 / 10

substituting  kq1q2 = 3U0 from 1

U1 = 3U0/10

So this is the final potential energy of this system.

How to find the velocity of an object in a circular path?
Luda [366]
First of all, let's just talk about the speed, and not get wound up
in the velocity. OK ?

If a fly is sitting on the rim of the wheel and the wheel is rotating, then for
each full revolution of the wheel, the fly travels the circumference of the
wheel, which is (2 π) x (radius of the wheel).

In 'N' revolutions, the fly travels (2 N π) x (the radius). and so on.

So if the wheel is going, let's say 71 revs per minute (RPM), a point
on the rim is moving at (2 π times 71) x (the radius) per minute.

Another way to say it:

Speed of a point on the circle = (2 π) x (rotation frequency) x (radius).

The 'rotation frequency' takes care of the unit of time, and the 'radius'
takes care of the unit of length, so the result is a speed.

A body weighs 10newton in air and 9.5 in water. How will it weigh in alchohol if density 0.8gcm-³​
Katen [24]

Answer:

The weight of object in alcohol is, W₀ = 9.6 N

Explanation:

Given,

The weight of body in air, Wₐ = 10 N

The weight of the body in water, Wₓ = 9.5 N

The density of the alcohol, ρ = 0.8 g/cm³

                                                = 800 kg/m³

The weight of body in water = weight of object in air - weight of water displaced

                        9.5 N = 10 N - weight of water displaced

                       Weight of water displaced = 0.5 N

The mass of the displaced water, m = 0.5 / 9.8

                                                            = 0.051 kg

Therefore the volume of the water displaced,

                                              V = m / ρ

                                                  = 0.051 / 1000

                                                   = 5.1 x 10⁻⁵ m³

<em>The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of alcohol displaced</em>

Therefore, the mass of the alcohol displaced, = V x ρ

                                                                             = 5.1 x 10⁻⁵ x 800

                                                                             = 0.0405 kg

The weight of the alcohol displaced, w = 0.0405 x 9.8

                                                                    = 0.4 N

Therefore,

The weight of body in alcohol = weight of object in air - weight of alcohol displaced

                             W₀ = W - w

                                    = 10 N - 0.4 N

                                     = 9.6 N

Hence, the weight of object in alcohol is, W₀ = 9.6 N

A 75 kg Spider Man running at 3.0 m/s jumps onto a trash can lid that has a mass of 10kg and that is already moving in the same
QveST [7]
In order to find the final velocity of the skier and the trash can lid, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system remains constant. Mathematically, in this case:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₃v₃
Where m₃ and v₃ are the combined mass and velocity.

75*3 + 10*2 = (75 + 10)*v₃
v₃ = 2.88 m/s

The final velocity is 2.88 m/s
