Answer:
- 2.7 x 10^-6 J
Explanation:
q1 = 1 nC at x = 0 cm
q2 = - 1 nC at x = 1 cm
q3 = 4 nC at x = 2 cm
The formula for the potential energy between the two charges is given by
where r be the distance between the two charges
By use of superposition principle, the total energy of the system is given by
U = - 2.7 x 10^-6 J
The molecular weight of carbon dioxide (CO2) is 44.00 a.m.u., and the molecular weight of propane gas (C3H8) is 44.10 a.m.u. Thus CO2 diffuses_______ C3H8.

Answer:
E. two times the original diameter
Explanation:
Resistance of a wire is:
R = ρ L/A
where ρ is the resistivity of the material, L is the length, and A is the cross-sectional area.
For a round wire with diameter d:
R = ρ L / (¼ π d²)
The two wires must have the same resistance, so:
ρ₁ L₁ / (¼ π d₁²) = ρ₂ L₂ / (¼ π d₂²)
The wires are made of the same material, so ρ₁ = ρ₂:
L₁ / (¼ π d₁²) = L₂ / (¼ π d₂²)
The new length is four times the old, so 4 L₁ = L₂:
L₁ / (¼ π d₁²) = 4 L₁ / (¼ π d₂²)
1 / (¼ π d₁²) = 4 / (¼ π d₂²)
Solving:
1 / (d₁²) = 4 / (d₂²)
(d₂²) / (d₁²) = 4
(d₂ / d₁)² = 4
d₂ / d₁ = 2
So the new wire must have a diameter twice as large as the old wire.
