Define electric potential energy

2 answers:

6 0

Electric potential energy, or Electrostatic potential energy, is a potential energy (measured in joules) that results from conservative Coulomb forces and is associated with the configuration of a particular set of point charges within a defined system. An object may have electric potential energy by virtue of two key elements: its own electric charge and its relative position to other electrically charged objects.

A ladder 10 ft long rests against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at a rate of 1.4 ft/s,

Art [367]

Answer:

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt} =-0.233\ rad/s$

Explanation:

given,

length of ladder = 10 ft

let x be the distance of the bottom and y be the distance of the top of ladder.

x² + y² = 100

differentiating with respect to time we get

$2 x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 0$ ..............(1)

when x = 8 and y = 6 and when \dfrac{dx}{dt} = 1.4ft/s

from equation (1)

now,

$16\times 1.4 + 12\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 0$

$\dfrac{dy}{dt} = -\dfrac{5.6}{3}$

let the angle between the ladders be θ

$tan\theta = \dfrac{y}{x}$

y = xtan θ

$\dfrac{dy}{dt} =\dfrac{dy}{dt} tan\theta + x sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}$

$-\dfrac{5.6}{3} =1.4\times \dfrac{6}{8} + 8 (1+\dfrac{9}{16})\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\dfrac{25}{2} \dfrac{d\theta}{dt} =\dfrac{-17.5}{6}$

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt} =-0.233\ rad/s$

can you suggest improvement that can be made towards the design of siphon so that the transfer of liquid is much higher.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

A siphon is a tube that makes use of the potential energy of fluid at an elevated level to transfer the fluid to a lower level, due to pressure differences between the inlet and the outlet points of the tube, such that the pressure at the outlet is higher than the pressure at the inlet

The pressure energy is converted into velocity (kinetic) energy, and therefore, in other to increase the flow rate through the tube of a siphon, with constant diameter, the level of the fluid in the container at the inlet (supply) of the siphon is raised higher than the level at the outlet receiving) container or the outlet point of the siphon tube

The larger the difference between the inlet and outlet levels, the faster the transfer of fluid by the siphon

The weight of a body kept at a distance of 6400 km from the centre of the

Vlad [161]

Answer:

2.5N

Explanation:

since force is inversely proportional to square of the distance apart. that means the ratio of distance apart. so u have 12800×12800÷(6400××6400)=4/1

so the weight will be reduced to 1/4 of 10N
