Answer:

If all these three charges are positive with a magnitude of 1.8 \times 10^{-8}\; \rm C each, the electric potential at the midpoint of segment \rm AB would be approximately 8.3 \times 10^{3}\; \rm V.

Explanation:

Convert the unit of the length of each side of this triangle to meters: 10\; \rm cm = 0.10\; \rm m.

Distance between the midpoint of \rm AB and each of the three charges:

  • d({\rm A}) = 0.050\; \rm m.
  • d({\rm B}) = 0.050\; \rm m.
  • d({\rm C}) = \sqrt{3} \times (0.050\; \rm m).

Let k denote Coulomb's constant (k \approx 8.99 \times 10^{9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2}.)

Electric potential due to the charge at \rm A: \displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm A})}.

Electric potential due to the charge at \rm B: \displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm B})}.

Electric potential due to the charge at \rm A: \displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm C})}.

While forces are vectors, electric potentials are scalars. When more than one electric fields are superposed over one another, the resultant electric potential at some point would be the scalar sum of the electric potential at that position due to each of these fields.

Hence, the electric field at the midpoint of \rm AB due to all these three charges  would be:

\begin{aligned}& \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm A})} + \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm B})} + \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm C})} \\ &= k\, \left(\frac{q}{d({\rm A})} + \frac{q}{d({\rm B})} + \frac{q}{d({\rm C})}\right) \\ &\approx 8.99 \times 10^{9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2} \\ & \quad \quad \times \left(\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{0.050\; \rm m} + \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{0.050\; \rm m} + \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{\sqrt{3} \times (0.050\; \rm m)}\right) \\ &\approx 8.3 \times 10^{3}\; \rm V\end{aligned}.

A horizontal pipe contains water at a pressure of 110 kPa flowing with a speed of 1.4 m/s. When the pipe narrows to one half its
Pavel [41]

Answer:

a

  v_2 =  5.6 \  m/s

b

   P_2 = 80600 \  Pa

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The pressure of the water in the pipe is  P_1= 110 \  kPa  =  110 *10^{3 } \  Pa

      The speed of the water  is v_1 =  1.4 \  m/s

       The original area of the pipe is  A_1 =  \pi \frac{d^2 }{4}

       The  new area of the pipe is  A_2 = \pi *  \frac{[\frac{d}{2} ]^2}{4}  =  \pi *  \frac{\frac{d^2}{4} }{4} = \pi \frac{d^2}{16}

         

Generally the continuity equation is mathematically represented as

       A_1 *  v_1 =  A_2 * v_2

Here v_2 is the new velocity  

So

        \pi * \frac{d^2}{4}   *  1.4  = \pi * \frac{d^2}{16}   * v_2

=>     \frac{d^2}{4}   *  1.4  =  \frac{d^2}{16}   * v_2

=>    d^2    *  1.4  =  \frac{d^2}{4}   * v_2

=>    1.4  = 0.25    * v_2

=>     v_2 =  5.6 \  m/s

Generally given that the height of the original pipe and the narrower pipe are the same , then we will b making use of the  Bernoulli's equation for constant height to calculate the pressure

This is mathematically represented as

       

             P_1 + \frac{1}{2}  *  \rho *  v_1 ^2  =  P_2 + \frac{1}{2}  *  \rho *  v_2 ^2

Here \rho is the density of water with value  \rho =  1000  \  kg /m^3

             P_2 =  P_1 + \frac{1}{2} *  \rho [ v_1^2 - v_2^2 ]

=>          P_2 =  110 *10^{3} + \frac{1}{2} *  1000 *  [ 1.4 ^2 - 5.6 ^2 ]

=>          P_2 = 80600 \  Pa
