Answer:
Explanation:
The electrostatic potential energy for pair of charge is given by
U=1/4π∈₀×(q₁q₂/r)
Hence for a system of three charges the electrostatic potential energy can be found by adding up the potential energy for all possible pairs or charges.For three equal charges on the corners of an equilateral triangle,the electrostatic potential energy is given by:
U=1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)+1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)+1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)
U=3×1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)
Substitute given values
So
The time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward is 2.0204 s.
<h3>What is the time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward?</h3>
The motion of the boulder is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration
a = g = -9.8
downward (acceleration due to gravity).
By using Suvat equation:
v = u + at
where: v is the velocity at time t
u = 40.0 m/s is the initial velocity
a = g = -9.8 is the acceleration
To find the time t at which the velocity is v = 20.7 m/s
Therefore,
The time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward is 2.0204 s.
The complete question is:
A large boulder is ejected vertically upward from a volcano with an initial speed of 40.0 m/s. Ignore air resistance. At what time after being ejected is the boulder moving at 20.7 m/s upward?
