A 6.5 kg rock thrown down from a 120m high cliff with initial velocity 18 m/s down. Calculate

(a) What is the potential between two points situated 10 cm and 20 cm from a 3.0-μC point charge? (b) To what location should th

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

(a) 135 kV

(b) The charge chould be moved to infinity

Explanation:

(a)

The potential at a distance of r from a point charge, Q, is given by

$V = -\dfrac{kQ}{r}$

where $k = 9\times 10^9 \text{ F/m}$

Difference in potential between the points is

$kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{0.2\text{ m}} -\left( -\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right] = \dfrac{kQ}{0.2\text{ m}} = \dfrac{9\times10^9\text{ F/m}\times3\times10^{-6}\text{ C}}{0.2\text{ m}}$

$PD = 135\times 10^3\text{ V} = 135\text{ kV}$

(b)

If this potential difference is increased by a factor of 2, then the new pd = 135 kV × 2 = 270 kV. Let the distance of the new location be x.

$270\times10^3 = kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{x}-\left(-\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right]$

$10 - \dfrac{1}{x} = \dfrac{270000}{9\times10^9\times3\times10^{-6}} = 10$

$\dfrac{1}{x} = 0$

$x = \infty$

The charge chould be moved to infinity

Explain how two dangerous elements can form a compound that is edible

blsea [12.9K]

Two dangerous elements can form a compound that is edible known as "NaCl salt".

Explanation:

Sodium and chlorine are two very dangerous elements. As the reaction between sodium and water is extremely violent and chlorine is a very toxic gas. But combination of these elements result into a harmless product with unique properties like it is edible and dissolves without exploding in water.

In sodium chloride reaction the atoms of sodium interact with chlorine atoms. Sodium will donate an electron (by becoming positively charged) to acceptor chlorine (which become negatively charged) as given in following reaction

$N a+C l_{2} \rightarrow N a C l$

As sodium and chlorine are very keen to achieve noble gas configuration by completing an octet on donating and accepting an electron respectively.

A dumbell has a mass of 95 kg. What force must be applied to accelerate it upward at 2.2 m/s2?

Sveta_85 [38]

A :-) F = ma
Given - m = 95 kg
a = 2.2 m/s^2
Solution -
F = ma
F = 95 x 2.2
F = 209

.:. The force is 209 N
