Answer:

Explanation:if the things have the same charge they will repel makeing the ball move away form its positively charged guy = that the coil gun works.

A point charge with a charge q1 = 2.30 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with a charge q2 = -5.00 μC mo

Answer:

W = 2.74 J

Explanation:

The work done by the charge on the origin to the moving charge is equal to the difference in the potential energy of the charges.

This is the electrostatic equivalent of the work-energy theorem.

$W = \Delta U = U_2 - U_1$

where the potential energy is defined as follows

$U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Let's first calculate the distance 'r' for both positions.

$r_1 = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_0)^2 + (y_1 - y_0)^2} = \sqrt{(0.170 - 0)^2 + (0 - 0)^2} = 0.170~m\\r_2 = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_0)^2 + (y_2 - y_0)^2} = \sqrt{(0.250 - 0)^2 + (0.250 - 0)^2} = 0.353~m$

Now, we can calculate the potential energies for both positions.

$U_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2} = \frac{(8.99\times 10^9)(2.3\times 10^{-6})(-5\times 10^{-6})}{(0.170)^2} = -3.57~J\\U_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_2^2} = \frac{(8.99\times 10^9)(2.3\times 10^{-6})(-5\times 10^{-6})}{(0.3530)^2} = -0.829~J$
