Two small metal cubes with masses 2.0 g and 4.0 g are tied together by a 4.7-cm-long massless string and are at rest on a fricti

onless surface. Each is charged to +2.5 μC .
What is the energy of this system?
Express your answer using two significant figures.
What is the tension in the string?

Answer:

1.2J

26 N

(-28, 14) m/s

Explanation:

energy

U = kQq / d = 8.99*10^9 * (2.5*10^-6C)² / 0.047m

U = 0.0562/0.047

U = 1.20 J

to two significant figures

tension

T = kQq / d²

T = U / d

T = 1.2 / 0.047

T = 25.53 N = 26 N to 2 sf

Momentum is conserved, and the initial momentum is zero:

0 = 0.0020 * V2 + 0.0040 * V4

so

V2 = -2 * V4

Energy is also conserved:

½ * 0.0020 * (-2V4)² + ½ * 0.0040 * (V4)² = 1.2 J

-½ * 0.0080 * V4² + ½ * 0.0040 * V4² = 1.2 J

-0.0040V4² + 0.002V4² = 1.2 J

0.0060V4² = 1.2 J

V4² = 1.2/0.0060

V4² = 200

V4 = √200

V4 = 14 m/s

and since V2 = -2 * V4

V2 = -28 m/s

(V2, V4) = (-28, 14)

What are various paradox related to time travel?​
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

This is a paradox — an inconsistency that often leads people to think that time travel cannot occur in our universe." A variation is known as the "grandfather paradox" — in which a time traveler kills their own grandfather, in the process preventing the time traveler's birth

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

5N

Explanation:

We have a simple problem of momentum here.

ΔMomentum= mΔv= FΔt

Solve for F

mΔv/Δt=F

Plug in givens

1*(2-1.5)/0.1=F

F=5N

Describe a technology used in space exploration.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

High speed optical communication technology

To be able to communicate from the space to the earth and from earth to space is one of the most essential features required during space exploration.

Explanation:

Space exploration involves going into the space, beyond the earth's atmosphere. Landing on other planets and studying their details, going into deeper space beyond the planets to discover new cosmic events or structures is all a part of space exploration.

The key to analyse the studies and observations is being able to communicate the data collected, photos taken etc to the launch centers or space centers on earth. The space centers on earth should also be able to communicate with the persons or the satellites in space.

This is made possible using the optical communication technology which involves the use of optical fibers, lasers etc, since high speeds are more efficient during communication
