It is required an infinite work. The additional electron will never reach the origin.

In fact, assuming the additional electron is coming from the positive direction, as it approaches x=+1.00 m it will become closer and closer to the electron located at x=+1.00 m. However, the electrostatic force between the two electrons (which is repulsive) will become infinite when the second electron reaches x=+1.00 m, because the distance d between the two electrons is zero:
F=k_e  \frac{e q}{r^2}

So, in order for the additional electron to cross this point, it is required an infinite amount of work, which is impossible.

You wish to cool a 1.83 kg block of tin initially at 88.0°C to a temperature of 57.0°C by placing it in a container of kerosene
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

0.273 liters are needed to accomplish this task without boiling.

Explanation:

The minimum boiling point of kerosene is 150\,^{\circ}C. According to this question, we need to determine the minimum volume of liquid such that heat received is entirely sensible, that is, with no phase change.

If we consider a steady state process and that energy interactions with surrounding are negligible, then we get the following formula by the Principle of Energy Conservation:

\rho_{k}\cdot V_{k}\cdot c_{k}\cdot (T-T_{k,o}) = m_{t}\cdot c_{t}\cdot (T_{t,o}-T) (1)

Where:

\rho_{k} - Density of kerosene, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

V_{k} - Volume of kerosene, measured in cubic meters.

c_{k}, c_{t} - Specific heats of the kerosene and tin, measured in joule per kilogram-Celsius.

T_{k,o}, T_{t,o} - Initial temperatures of kerosene and tin, measured in degrees Celsius.

T - Final temperatures of the kerosene-tin system, measured in degrees Celsius.

Please notice that the block of tin is cooled at the expense of the temperature of the kerosene until thermal equilibrium is reached.

From (1), we clear the volume of kerosene:

V_{k} = \frac{m_{t}\cdot c_{t}\cdot (T_{t,o}-T)}{\rho_{k}\cdot c_{k}\cdot (T-T_{k,o})}

If we know that m_{t} = 1.83\,kg, c_{t} = 218\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}, T_{t,o} = 88\,^{\circ}C, T_{k,o} = 24.0\,^{\circ}C, T = 57\,^{\circ}C, c_{k} = 2010\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} and \rho_{k} = 820\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, then the volume of the liquid needed to accomplish this task without boiling is:

V_{k} = \frac{(1.83\,kg)\cdot \left(218\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (88\,^{\circ}C-57\,^{\circ}C)}{\left(820\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(2010\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (57\,^{\circ}C-24\,^{\circ}C)}

V_{k} = 2.273\times 10^{-4}\,m^{3}

V_{k} = 0.273\,L

0.273 liters are needed to accomplish this task without boiling.

You used the right-hand rule to determine the z component of the angular momentum, but as a check, calculate in terms of positio
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

case x py   L is in the positive z direction

case y px   L the negative z direction

Explanation:

The angular amount is defined by the relation

         L = r x p

the bold are vectors, where r is the position vector and p is the linear amount vector.

The module of this vector can be concentrated by the relation

         L = r p sin θ

the direction of the vector L can be found by the right-hand rule where the thumb points in the direction of the displacement vector, the fingers extended in the direction of the moment p which is the same direction of speed and the palm points in the direction of the angular momentum L

in the case x py

the thumb is in the x direction, the fingers are extended in the direction and the palm is in the positive z direction

In the case y px

the thumb is in the y direction, the fingers are in the x direction, the palm is in the negative z direction

We need to find the launch velocity of our new marble launcher. we know that it will launch a 25g marble to a distance of 73 cm,
White raven [17]

The launch velocity of the marble launcher is 34.65 m/s

Given that the launch velocity of marble launcher, launches a 25g marble to a distance of 73 cm (0.73 m) and the marble roll up to 6.2 meters before stopping. The launch height is 20 cm (0.2 m).

The time for landing can be calculated by the second equation of motion formula:

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Let u = 0

0.2 = 0×t + \frac{1}{2} × 9.8 × t^{2}

t^{2} = \frac{0.2}{4.9}

t^{2} = 0.04

t = 0.2s

Now, the launch velocity of the marble launcher can be calculated by:

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = \frac{0.73 + 6.3}{0.2}

Speed = \frac{6.93}{0.2}

Speed = 34.65 m/s

Therefore, the launch velocity of the marble launcher is 34.65 m/s
