Two point charges of -7uC and 4uC are a distance of 20

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Approximately 0.979 J.

Explanation:

Assume that the two charges are in vacuum. Apply the coulomb's law to find their initial and final electrical potential energy $\mathrm{EPE}$ .

$\displaystyle \mathrm{EPE} = \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r}$ ,

where

The coulomb's constant $k = 8.99\times 10^{9}\; \rm N\cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2}$ ,
$q_1$ and $q_2$ are the sizes of the two charges, and
$r$ is the separation of (the center of) the two charges.

Note that there's no negative sign before the fraction.

Make sure that all values are in SI units:

$q_1 = -7\rm \;\mu C = -7\times 10^{-6}\; C$ ;
$q_2 = 4\rm \;\mu C = 4\times 10^{-6}\; C$ ;

Initial separation: $\rm 20\; cm = 0.20\; cm$ ;
Final separation: $\rm 90\; cm = 0.90\; cm$ .

Apply Coulomb's law:

Initial potential energy:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r} &= \frac{8.99\times 10^{9}\times (-7\times 10^{-6})\times 4\times 10^{-6}}{0.20}\\&= \rm -1.2586\; J\end{aligned}$ .

Final potential energy:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r} &= \frac{8.99\times 10^{9}\times (-7\times 10^{-6})\times 4\times 10^{-6}}{0.90}\\&= \rm -0.279689\; J\end{aligned}$ .

The final potential energy is less negative than the initial one. In other words, the two particles gain energy in this process. The energy difference (final minus initial) will be equal to the work required to move them at a constant speed.

$\begin{aligned}\text{Work required} &= \text{Final EPE} - \text{Initial EPE}\\&= \rm -0.279689\; J - (-1.2586\; J)\\&\approx 0.979\; J\end{aligned}$ .

A diver dives off of a raft - what happens to the diver? the raft? how does this relate to newton's third law? action force: ___

kondaur [170]

<span>Actually newtons third law says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, Hence here in this case, the diver diving of a raft is the action, after which surely reaction should come in the form where the raft and the driver will rebound with same speed back, and hence here the action force is diving and reaction force is rebounding from the diving place, with same intensity.</span>

If we interpret the large, angular rocks to have originated from the outcrop at the top of the hill, we are using __________ rea

IrinaK [193]

The reasoning which is in use when large, angular rocks are interpreted to have originated from the outcrop at the top of the hill is; Fossil succession

<h3>Fossil succession of rocks</h3>

The principle of fossil succession in characterized by the fact that fossil entities succeed one another upward through rock layers in a definite and determinable order.

On this note, any time period can be dated by its fossil content.
