Two particles, with charges of 20.0 nC and -20.0 nC, are fixed at points with coordinates <0, 4.00 cm> and <0, -4.00 cm

>. A particle with charge 10.0 nC is fixed at the origin. (a) Find the electric potential energy of the configuration of the three fixed charges. (b) A fourth particle, with a mass of 2.00 x 10-13 kg and charge of 40.0 nC, is released from rest at the point <3.00 cm, 0>. Find its speed after it has moved freely to a very large distance away.

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy of the system of charges

=  9 x 10⁹ x [  q₁q₂ / r₁₂ +  q₂q₃ / r₂₃ +  q₁q₃ / r₁₃ ]

here  r₁₂ ,  r₂₃ , r₁₃ are distance between 1 st and 2 nd charge , 2 nd and 3 rd charge and fist and third charge.

r₁₂ = 8 cm , r₂₃ = 4 cm , r₁₃ = 4 cm.

q₁ = 20 x 10⁻⁹ C , q₂ = - 20 x 10⁻⁹ C , q₃ = 10 x 10⁻⁹ C

Potential energy  =  9 x 10⁹ x [ - 400 x 10⁻¹⁸ / .08  +  -200x10⁻¹⁸ / .04 +  200 x 10¹⁸ / .04 ]

= 9 x 10⁹  x  - 400 x 10⁻¹⁸ / .08

= 45 x 10⁻⁶ J .

b)

Potential at the point of fourth charge due to three charges of 20 nC , - 20 nC and 10 nC at the centre

9 x 10⁹ [ 20 x 10⁻⁹ / .05 + - 20 x 10⁻⁹ / .05 + 10 x 10⁻⁹ / .03 ]

= 9 x 10⁹ x 10 x 10⁻⁹ / .03

= 3000 V .

potential energy of fourth particle = charge x potential

= 3000 x 40 x 10⁻⁹ = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J .

kinetic energy at infinity = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J

1/2 m v² = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J

.5 x 2 x 10⁻¹³ x v² = 12 x 10⁻⁵

v² = 12 x 10⁸

v = 3.46 x 10⁴ m/s

= 9 x 10⁹

Aleonysh [2.5K]
The overall force of gravity becomes stronger and stronger. This is because the gravity depends on the inverse of the square of the distance:
F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
and since the distance r between the molecules becomes smaller, the gravity increases more and more.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

4.68227 °C

Explanation:

m_o = Mass of object = 500 kg

m_w = Mass of water = 25 kg

c = Specific heat of water at 20°C = 4186 J/kg°C

h = Height from which the object falls = 100 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

The potential energy and heat will balance each other

PE=Q\\\Rightarrowmc m_ogh=m_oc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{m_ogh}{m_oc}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{500\times 9.8\times 100}{25\times 4186}\\\Rightarrow \Delta=4.68227\ ^{\circ}C

The temperature change in the water is 4.68227 °C

The radius of Earth is about 6450 km. A 7070 N spacecraft travels away from Earth. What is the weight of the spacecraft at a hei
Triss [41]

Answer:

(a) 1767.43 N

(b) 182.45 N

Explanation:

Radius of earth, R = 6450 km

Weight of person, W = 7070 N

mass of person, m = W / g = 7070 / 9.8 = 721.4 kg

(a) h = 6450 km

The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by

g' = g\left ( \frac{R}{R+h} \right )^2

g' = g\left ( \frac{6450}{6450+6450} \right )^2

g' = g / 4 = 9.8 / 4 = 2.45 m/s^2

The weight of the person at such height is

W' = m x g' = 721.4 x 2.45

W' = 1767.43 N

(b) h = 33700 km

The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by

g' = g\left ( \frac{R}{R+h} \right )^2

g' = g\left ( \frac{6450}{6450+33700} \right )^2

g' = g x 0.0258 = 9.8 x 0.0258 = 0.253 m/s^2

The weight of the person at such height is

W' = m x g'

W' = 721.4 x 0.253

W' = 182.45 N
