Hi there!

Recall the equation for electric potential of a point charge:

$V = \frac{kQ}{r}$

V = Electric potential (V)
k = Coulomb's Constant(Nm²/C²)

Q = Charge (C)
r = distance (m)

We can begin by solving for the given electric potentials. Remember, charge must be accounted for. Electric potential is also a SCALAR quantity.

Upper right charge's potential:

$V = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(-5 * 10^{-9})}{0.04} = -1123.75 V$

Lower left charge's potential:

$V = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(5*10^{-9})}{0.02} = 2247.5 V$

Add the two, and subtract from the total EP at the point:

$3160 + 1123.75 - 2247.5 = 2036.25$

The remaining charge must have a potential of 2036.25 V, so:

$2036.25 = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(Q)}{\sqrt{0.02^2 + 0.04^2}}\\\\2036.25 = \frac{(8.99*10^9)Q}{0.0447} \\\\Q = 0.000000010127 = \boxed{10.13nC}$

An engine draws energy from a hot reservoir with a temperature of 1250 K and exhausts energy into a cold reservoir with a temper

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The power output of this engine is $P = 17.5 W$

The the maximum (Carnot) efficiency is $\eta_c = 0.7424$

The actual efficiency of this engine is $\eta _a = 0.46$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature of the hot reservoir is $T_h = 1250 \ K$

The temperature of the cold reservoir is $T_c = 322 \ K$

The energy absorbed from the hot reservoir is $E_h = 1.37 *10^{5} \ J$

The energy exhausts into cold reservoir is $E_c = 7.4 *10^{4} J$

The power output is mathematically represented as

$P = \frac{W}{t}$

Where t is the time taken which we will assume to be 1 hour = 3600 s

W is the workdone which is mathematically represented as

$W = E_h -E_c$

substituting values

$W = 63000 J$

$P = \frac{63000}{3600}$

$P = 17.5 W$

The Carnot efficiency is mathematically represented as

$\eta_c = 1 - \frac{T_c}{T_h}$

$\eta_c = 1 - \frac{322}{1250}$

$\eta_c = 0.7424$

The actual efficiency is mathematically represented as

$\eta _a = \frac{W}{E_h}$

substituting values

$\eta _a = \frac{63000}{1.37*10^{5}}$

$\eta _a = 0.46$

The distance between two charges a and b is r, and the force between them is F. What is the force between them if the distancbet

Nadusha1986 [10]

See coulomb's law. Force is inversely proportional to the distance squared. So if you multiply r by 2, the force is multiplied by (½)² = ¼.

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 $m/s^2$ where as radial the component of acceleration is 8.77 $m/s^2$

Explanation:

As per the given data

u=π/4 rad

ω=u'=2 rad/s

α=u''=4 rad/s

$r=e^u$

So the transverse component of acceleration are given as

$a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\$

Here

$r=e^u\\r=e^{\pi/4}\\r=2.1932 m$

$r'=e^u.u'\\r'=2.1932 \times 2\\r'=4.3864 m$

$a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\a_{\theta}=(2.1932\times 4+2\times 4.3864 \times 2)\\a_{\theta}=26.32 m/s\\$

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 $m/s^2$

The radial component is given as

$a_r=r''-r\theta'^2$

Here

$r''=e^u.u'^2+e^u u''\\r''=2.1932 \times (2)^2+2.1932\times 4\\r''=17.5456 m$

$a_r=r''-ru'^2\\a_r=17.5456-2.1932\times (2)^2\\a_r=8.7728 m/s^2$

The radial component of acceleration is 8.77 $m/s^2$
