Answer:

To stop a car must lose its momentum and its kinetic energy. ... If the forces on two cars are equal then the greater the kinetic energy the greater the distance before stopping. But there will be a relationship to the momentum because momentum and mass are both related to the kinetic energy.

A -3.00 nc point charge is at the origin, and a second -5.50 nc point charge is on the x-axis at x = 0.800 m. find the electric

Liula [17]

The electric field produced by a single-point charge is given by

$E(r)=k\frac{q}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

To find the electric field at x=0.200 m, we need to find the electric field produced by each charge at that point, and then find their resultant.

1) The first charge is $q=-3.00 nC=-3.00 \cdot 10^{-9} C$ , and it is located at x=0, so its distance from the point x=0.200 m is

$r=0.200 m-0=0.2 m$

Therefore, the electric field is

$E_1=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(3.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C)}{(0.2 m)^2}=675 N/C$

And since the charge is negative, the direction of the field is toward the charge, so toward negative x direction.

2) The second charge is $q=-5.50 nC=-5.5 \cdot 10^{-9}C$ and it is located at x=0.800 m, so its distance from the point is

$r=0.800 m-0.200 m=0.6 m$

Therefore, the electric field is

$E_2 = (8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(5.5 \cdot 10^{-9} C)}{(0.6 m)^2}=137.5 N$

And since the charge is negative, the direction of the field is toward the charge, so toward positive x-direction.

3) The total electric field at x=0.200 m will be given by the difference between the two fields (because they are in opposite directions). Taking the x-positive direction as positive direction, we have

$E=E_2 -E_1 =137.5 N/C/C-675 N/C=-537.5 N/C$

and the sign tells us that the field is directed toward negative x-direction.

With two identical light bulbs and two identical batteries how would you arrange in order to get the maximum total power to the

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The batteries would be connected in series while the bulbs would be connected in parallel

Explanation:

Power (W) = VI

where V = voltage, I = current and R = resistance

from V = IR , I = V/R

Power (W) now becomes = V (V/R) = $\frac{V^{2} }{R}$

Power (W) = $\frac{V^{2} }{R}$

from the above equation, power is directly dependent on voltage, hence the voltage has to be high for the power to be high and the power is also inversely dependent on the resistance (in this case the bulbs which act as the load)

We have to batteries, when batteries are connected in series the total voltage becomes the summation of the two voltages hence giving a higher voltage and when they are connected in parallel their voltage remains the same. Since we want to get higher voltage we will connect the two batteries in series.
we have two bulbs which are the resistance here, from the equation above the power is inversely dependent on the resistance so we would need its value to be minimal. When resistance is connected in series the resistance individual will be added to get the total resistance, hence the total resistance will be high but when the resistors are arranged in parallel you get the total resistance by applying the formula $\frac{R1R2}{R1+R2}$ which will give us a lower resistance. Hence we would connect the bulbs in parallel.

Take note that the power from this connection should not exceed the bulbs power rating so as to avoid damage of the bulbs.
