Answer:

Explanation:

Let the equilibrium position of third charge be x distance from q₁.

Force on third charge due to q₁

= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x²

Force on third charge due to q₂

= 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²

Both the force will act in opposite direction and for balancing , they should be equal.

9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x² = 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²

5  / x² = 2 / ( .4 - x )²

Taking square root on both sides

2.236 / x = 1.414 / .4 - x

2.236 ( .4 - x ) = 1.414 x

.8944 - 2.236 x = 1.414 x

.8944 = 3.65 x

x = .245 m

24.5 cm

So the third charge should be at a distance of 24.5 cm from q₁ .

When water is boiled under a pressure of 2.00atm, the heat of vaporization is 2.20×106J/kg and the boiling point is 120∘C. At th
Vikki [24]

Answer:

2033219.05 J

Explanation:

V = Volume

P = Pressure = 2 atm

m = Mass of water = 1 kg

L_v = Heat of vaporization = 2.2\times 10^6\ J/kg

Work done in an isobaric system is given by

W=-P\Delta V\\\Rightarrow W=-2\times 101325\times (1\times 10^{-3}-0.824)\\\Rightarrow W=166780.95\ J

Work done is 166780.95 J

Change in internal energy is given by

\Delta U=Q-W

Heat is given by

Q=mL_v\\\Rightarrow Q=1\times 2.2\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow Q=2.2\times 10^6\ J

\Delta U=2.2\times 10^6-166780.95\\\Rightarrow \Delta U=2033219.05\ J

The increase in internal energy of the water is 2033219.05 J
