Answer:

c.   V = k Q1 * Q2 / R1      potential energy of Q1 and Q2 separated by R

V2 / V1 = (R1 / R2) = 1/4

V2 = V1 / 4

If the kinetic and potential energy in a system are equal, then the potential energy increases. What happens as a resul
Kobotan [32]

-- If the system is 'closed', then nothing ... including energy ... can get in or out, and the total energy inside has to be constant.

If half of the energy in the system starts out as potential energy and the rest starts out as kinetic, and then the potential energy increases, there's only one place the increase could have come from ... it could only have been converted from kinetic energy.  So the <em>kinetic energy</em> in the system <em>must</em> <em>decrease</em>.

In fact, this isn't even a "result".  The kinetic energy has to decrease <em><u>before</u></em> the potential energy can increase, because that's where the increase has to come from.

If the system is 'open', then energy can come in and go out.  If the potential energy inside suddenly increases, we don't know where it came from, so we can't say anything about what happens to the system.

A loop of wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field. For what orientation of the loop is the magnetic flux a maximum? For what
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The flux is calculated as φ=BAcosθ. The flux is thereforemaximum when the magnetic field vector is perpendicular to theplane of the loop. We may also deduce that the flux is zero whenthere is no component of the magnetic field that is perpendicularto the loop.

when angle is zero then flux is maximium because when angle zerocos is maximium

A 20.0-N weight slides down a rough inclined plane which makes an angle of 30 degree with the horizontal. The weight starts from
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

1270.64\ \text{J}

Explanation:

m = Mass of object = \dfrac{mg}{g}

mg = Weight of object = 20 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

v = Final velocity = 15 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0

d = Distance moved by the object = 150 m

\theta = Angle of slope = 30^{\circ}

f = Force of friction

fd = Work done against friction

The force balance of the system is

\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)=(mg\sin\theta-f)d\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mg\sin\theta d-fd\\\Rightarrow fd=mg\sin\theta d-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow fd=20\times \sin 30^{\circ}\times 150-\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{9.81}\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow fd=1270.64\ \text{J}

The work done against friction is 1270.64\ \text{J}.
