An electron and a positron are located 15 m away from each other and held fixed by some mechanism. The positron has the same mas

s and the same magnitude of charge as those of the electron, but its charge is positive. The electron and the positron are released at the same time by the mechanism. The electron and the positron begin to speed up towards each other. What velocities should they have when they are 2 m away from each other

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrical potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy .

Electrical potential energy when distance was 15 m .

E₁ = 9 x 10⁹ x - q² /d where q is magnitude of charge on electron or positron

E₁ = 9 x 10⁹ x - ( 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ )² /15

= - 1.536 x 10⁻²⁹ J .

Electrical potential energy when distance was 2 m .

E₁ =9 x 10⁹ x - q² /d where q is magnitude of charge on electron or positron

E₁ = 9 x 10⁹ x - ( 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ )² /2

= -11.52 x 10⁻²⁹ J .

Decrease in energy = (11.52 - 1.536 ) x 10⁻²⁹

= 9.984 x 10⁻²⁹ J .

This energy will be converted into kinetic energy and they will be distributed equally in each .

Energy of each = 9.984 x 10⁻²⁹ /2

= 4.992 x 10⁻²⁹ J .

1/2 m v² = 4.992 x 10⁻²⁹ , m is mass of electron

.5 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ v² = 4.992 x 10⁻²⁹

v² = 109.71

v = 10.47 m/s .

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string
vovikov84 [41]

Complete Question

The speed of a transverse wave on a string of length L and mass m under T is given by the formula

     v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string

Answer:

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Speed of a transverse wave given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

Maximum Tension is T=10.0N

Generally making (m/l) subject from the equation mathematically we have

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

v^2=\frac{T}{(m/l)}

(m/l)=\frac{T}{V^2}

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}

Therefore the Linear mass in terms of Velocity is given by

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}
