Answer:

a) the total electric potential is 2282000 V

b) the total electric potential (in V) at the point with coordinates (0, 1.50 cm) is 1330769.23 V

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and as illustrated in the image below;

a) Determine the total electric potential (in V) at the origin.

We know that; electric potential due to multiple charges is equal to sum of electric potentials due to individual charges

so

Electric potential at p in the diagram 1 below is;

Vp = V1 + V2

Vp = kq1/r1 + kq2/r2

we know that; Coulomb constant, k = 9 × 10⁹ C

q1 = 4.60 uC = 4.60 × 10⁻⁶ C

r1 = 1.25 cm = 0.0125 m

q2 = -2.06 uC = -2.06 × 10⁻⁶ C

location x2 = −1.80 cm; so r2 = 1.80 cm = 0.018 m

so we substitute

Vp = ( 9 × 10⁹ × 4.60 × 10⁻⁶/ 0.0125 ) + ( 9 × 10⁹ × -2.06 × 10⁻⁶ / 0.018 )

Vp = (3312000) + ( -1030000 )

Vp = 3312000 -1030000

Vp = 2282000 V

Therefore, the total electric potential is 2282000 V

b)

the total electric potential (in V) at the point with coordinates (0, 1.50 cm).

As illustrated in the second image;

r1² = 0.015² + 0.0125²

r1 = √[ 0.015² + 0.0125² ]

r1 = √0.00038125

r1 = 0.0195

Also

r2² = 0.015² + 0.018²

r2 = √[ 0.015² + 0.018² ]

r2 = √0.000549

r2 = 0.0234

Now, Electric Potential at P in the second image below will be;

Vp = V1 + V2

Vp = kq1/r1 + kq2/r2

we substitute

Vp = ( 9 × 10⁹ × 4.60 × 10⁻⁶/ 0.0195 ) + ( 9 × 10⁹ × -2.06 × 10⁻⁶ / 0.0234 )

Vp = 2123076.923 + ( -762962.962 )

Vp = 2123076.923 -792307.692

Vp =  1330769.23 V

Therefore, the total electric potential (in V) at the point with coordinates (0, 1.50 cm) is 1330769.23 V

A ball is thrown directly downward with an initial speed of 7.70 m/s, from a height of 30.2 m. After what time interval does it
KatRina [158]

Answer:

t = 1.82

Explanation:

Given

u = 7.70m/s -- initial velocity

s = 30.2m --- height

Required

Determine the time to hit the ground

This will be solved using the following motion equation.

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

Where

g = 9,8m/s^2

So, we have:

30.2 = 7.70t + \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 * t^2

30.2 = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2

Subtract 30.2 from both sides

30.2 -30.2  = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2 - 30.2

0  = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2 - 30.2

0  = 7.70t + 4.9t^2 - 30.2

7.70t + 4.9t^2 - 30.2  = 0

4.9t^2 + 7.70t - 30.2  = 0

Solve using quadratic formula:

t = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

Where

a = 4.9;\ b = 7.70;\ c = -30.2

t = \frac{-7.70\±\sqrt{7.70^2 - 4*4.9*-30.2}}{2*4.9}

t = \frac{-7.70\±\sqrt{651.21}}{9.8}

t = \frac{-7.70\±25.52}{9.8}

Split the expression

t = \frac{-7.70+25.52}{9.8} or t = \frac{-7.70-25.52}{9.8}

t = \frac{17.82}{9.8} or t = -\frac{33.22}{9.8}

Time can't be negative;  So, we have:

t = \frac{17.82}{9.8}

t = 1.82

Hence, the time to hit the ground is 1.82 seconds

Does a neutrally charged object even have a charge?
Roman55 [17]
“Charged objects have an imbalance of charge - either more negative electrons than positive protons or vice versa. And neutral objects have a balance of charge - equal numbers of protons and electrons. The principle stated earlier for atoms can be applied to objects. Objects with more electrons than protons are charged negatively; objects with fewer electrons than protons are charged positively.

In this discussion of electrically charged versus electrically neutral objects, the neutron has been neglected. Neutrons, being electrically neutral play no role in this unit. Their presence (or absence) will have no direct bearing upon whether an object is charged or uncharged. Their role in the atom is merely to provide stability to the nucleus.”

Hope this helps a bit.

An ambulance is traveling north at 55.9 m/s, approaching a car that is also traveling north at 28.4 m/s. The ambulance driver he
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

915 Hz

Explanation:

The observed frequency from a sound source is given as

f₀ = f [(v + v₀)/(v+vₛ)]

where

f₀ = observed frequency of the sound by the observer = ?

f = actual frequency of the sound wave = 983 Hz

v = actual velocity of the sound waves = 343 m/s

vₛ = velocity of the source of the sound waves = 55.9 m/s

v₀ = velocity of the observer = 28.4 m/s

f₀ = 983 [(343+28.4)/(343+55.9)]

f₀ = 915.2 Hz = 915 Hz

The record time for a Tour de France cyclist to ascend the 1100-m-high Alpe d'Huez is 37.5 min. The rider and his bike had a mas
Leni [432]

Answer

given,

height of Alpe d'Huez =  1100-m

time = 37.5 min

mass of the rider and his bike = 65 Kg

the metabolic power to ride = 700 W

U = m g y

U = 65 x 9.8 x 1100

U = 700700 J

since efficiency is 25%

E_{chem} = \dfrac{U}{e}

E_{chem} = \dfrac{700700}{0.25}

E_{chem} = 2802800

E_{chem} = \dfrac{2802800}{4.19 \time 10^3}

E_{chem} =668.9\ cal

b) P = \dfrac{E_{chem}}{t}

P = \dfrac{2802800}{37.5\times 60\ s}

P = 1245.68 W
