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
Answer:
Explanation:
They traveled this distance in 2 parts, essentially. Part 1 had an average speed for a certain number of hours, part 2 had an average speed for a certain number of hours, and those 2 parts taken together took them a distance of 364 km. In equation form, that looks like this:
km/hr part 1 + km/hr part 2 = 364 km
Now we need to find each part on the left side of that equation. Part 1 first:
We traveled 65 km/hr for 2 hours, so that took us
and canceling out the hour label, we have that in part 1 we got
65(2) = 130 km. Good. Now onto the second part, where our unknown is.
We traveled 78 km/hr the second part for x hours, so that took us
and canceling out the hour label, we have that in part 2 we got
78x km. Now we can fill in the main equation (the one in bold print)
130 km + 78x km = 364 km and subtracting 130 km from both sides:
78x km = 234 km and dividing by 78 km:
x = 3 hours. Part 2 took 3 hours. Part 1 took 2 hours, so the whole trip took 5 hours.
