Answer:

1. 8437500 N

2. The force between the two charges is attractive.

Explanation:

1. Determination of the force between the two charges.

Charge 1 (q₁) = –2.0 C

Charge 2 (q₂) = 3.0 C

Distance apart (r) = 80 m

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Force (F) =?

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × 2 × 3 / 80²

F = 5.4×10¹⁰ / 6400

F = 8437500 N

Thus, the force of attraction between the two charges is 8437500 N

2. From the question given, the charges are:

Charge 1 (q₁) = –2.0 C

Charge 2 (q₂) = 3.0 C

We understood that like charges repels while unlike charges attract. Since the two charges (i.e –2 C and 3 C) has opposite signs, it means they will attract each other.

Thus the force between them is attractive.

The total thermal power generated by this plutonium source is determined as 5.65 J/s.

<h3>Total thermal power generated</h3>

The total thermal power generated by this plutonium source is determined as follows;

ΔP = Eλ

where;

  • E is the energy of the particles = 5.6 mev
  • λ is the activity of the plutonium, which should be = 6.3 x 10¹⁵ s⁻¹

ΔP = (5.6 mev) x (6.3 x 10¹⁵ s⁻¹)

ΔP = (5.6 x 10³ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J) x (6.3 x 10¹⁵ s⁻¹)

ΔP = 5.65 J/s

A (nonconstant) harmonic function takes its maximum value and its minimum value
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Consider that F (any function) <0 .

u(x,y) is a coontinuous function in the closed interval or region R.

Let us consider a point (p,q) that is inside the region and it is a maximum point.

Then it should be must

uxx (p,q) <0 where uxx means double differentiation

and uy(p,q) >0

Since ux(p,q) = 0 = uy(p,q) where ux and uy means single differentiation with respect to x and y respectively.

Say, Maximum limits of the region is T

therefore q<T

then uy (p,q) = 0 if q<T

if q = T then

point (p,q) = (p,T) will be on the boundary of R then we claim that

uy(p,q) >0

Similarly for the minimum also it will work
