Answer:

U = 1.84 10⁻²⁷ J

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is

        U = k q₁q₂/ r

in this case the electric charge is

         q = 2 p

         q = 2 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

         q = 3.2 10⁻¹⁹ C

indicate the distance between the charges is 0.500 m

we calculate

         U = 9 10⁹  3.2 10⁻¹⁹  3.2 10⁻¹⁹ /0.500

         U = 1.84 10⁻²⁷ J

guapka [62]
I can say that the kinetic energy after the collision is less than it was before the collision.  I can say this with confidence because you've said that some energy was used to deform the car, plus there was energy lost from the system in the form of heat.

Use the simulation to compare the masses of the three colored and unlabeled weights of different sizes. To do so, set the spring
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The answer is given as follows,

Explanation:

Gold large-sized weight 100 g < M < 250g

50 g < Magenta small-sized weight < 100g

100g < Blue medium-sized weight < 250g

Hence,

100g < Blue medium-sized weight < 250g

50 g < Magenta small-sized weight < 100g

100 g < Gold large-sized weight < 250g.

How are the sun and Earth's moon different?(2 points)
katovenus [111]

Answer: The Sun measures 1.4 million km across, while the Moon is a mere 3,474 km across. In other words, the Sun is roughly 400 times larger than the Moon. But the Sun also happens to be 400 times further away than the Moon, and this has created an amazing coincidence.
