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

What's the difference between Uniform magnetic field and Non-uniform magnetic field?
Galina-37 [17]
Magnetic field is the magnetic effect of electric currents and magnetic materials. The magnetic field at any given point specified by both direction and a magnitude. So uniform magnetic field has equal amount of force or magnetic force in both side of the object while the non uniform magnetic field has one of the object exert more than the other

At an altitude of 5000 m the rocket's acceleration has increased to 6.9 m/s2 . What mass of fuel has it burned?
sergey [27]

1) Initial upward acceleration: 6.0 m/s^2

2) Mass of burned fuel: 0.10\cdot 10^4 kg

Explanation:

1)

There are two forces acting on the rocket at the beginning:

- The force of gravity, of magnitude F_g = mg, in the downward direction, where

m=1.9\cdot 10^4 kg is the rocket's mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

- The thrust of the motor, T, in the upward direction, of magnitude

T=3.0\cdot 10^5 N

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on the rocket must be equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration, so we can write:

T-mg=ma (1)

where a is the acceleration of the rocket.

Solving for a, we find the initial acceleration:

a=\frac{T-mg}{m}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^5-(1.9\cdot 10^4)(9.8)}{1.9\cdot 10^4}=6.0 m/s^2

2)

When the rocket reaches an altitude of 5000 m, its acceleration has increased to

a'=6.9 m/s^2

The reason for this increase is that the mass of the rocket has decreased, because the rocket has burned some fuel.

We can therefore rewrite eq.(1) as

T-m'g=m'a'

where

m' is the new mass of the rocket

Re-arranging the equation and solving for m', we find

m'=\frac{T}{g+a}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^5}{9.8+6.9}=1.8\cdot 10^4 kg

And since the initial mass of the rocket was

m=1.9 \cdot 10^4 kg

This means that the mass of fuel burned is

\Delta m = m-m'=1.9\cdot 10^4 - 1.80\cdot 10^4 = 0.10\cdot 10^4 kg

Solve for work when
BlackZzzverrR [31]

So, <u>the value of the work is approximately 84.65 J</u>.

<h2>Introduction</h2>

Hi ! Here I will help you to discuss the subject about work that caused by force in amount value of angle. Work is affected by the force and displacement.

  • If related to the magnitude of the force, the amount of work will be proportional to the magnitude of the applied force. Thats mean, if the value of the force that applied on it is greater, then the value of the work will be greater.
  • If related to the magnitude of shift, the amount of work will be proportional to the magnitude of shift of object. Thats mean, if the value of the shift on it is greater, then the value of the work will be greater.
<h3>Formula Used</h3>

The work done by a moving object can be expressed in the equation:

If the Angle Is Ignored

\boxed{\sf{\bold{W = F \times s}}}

If the Angle Effect on Work

\boxed{\sf{\bold{W = F \times s \times \cos(\theta)}}}

With the following condition:

  • W = work that done by object (J)
  • F = force that applied (N)
  • s = shift or distance (m)
  • \sf{\theta} = angle of elevation (°)

<h3>Solution</h3>

We know that :

  • F = force that applied = \sf{1.41 \times 10^4} N
  • s = shift or distance = 84.9 m
  • \sf{\theta} = angle of elevation = 45°

What was asked ?

  • W = work that done by object = ... J

Step by step :

\sf{W = F \times s \times \cos(\theta)}

\sf{W = (1.41 \cdot 10^4) \times 84.9 \times \cos(45^o)}

\sf{W = (1.41 \cdot 10^4) \times 84.9 \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}

\sf{W = 119.709 \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}

\sf{W = 59.8545 \sqrt{2}}

\boxed{\sf{W \approx 84.65 \: J}}

<h3>Conclusion</h3>

So, the value of the work is approximately 84.65 J.
