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}

The displacement of a 500 g mass, undergoing simple harmonic motion, is defined by the function :
Delicious77 [7]

The maximum kinetic energy, maximum potential energy and the maximum mechanical energy are equal to 7.56J.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>

Simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side.

Simple Harmonic Motion

The given equation of the simple harmonic motion is

x=3.5 sin (\frac{\pi }{2t} + \frac{5\pi }{4} )

Data;

ω = π/2

k = 1.254N/m

Solving this

\frac{dx}{dt} = -3.5 X \frac{\pi }{2} cos (\frac{x\pi t}{2}+\frac{5\pi }{4}  )

Let's calculate the maximum velocity.

V_{m} =\frac{3.5\pi }{2}

This is only possible when cos θ = -1

The maximum kinetic energy is

K_m =\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} X \frac{500}{1000} X \frac{7^2\pi ^2}^{4} ^2

w^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\k = w^2m\\k = \frac{\pi ^2}{4} X \frac{500}{1000} \\k =1.254 N/m

Using the value of spring constant, we can find the maximum potential energy.

P.E =\frac{1}{2} k x^2\\P.E =\frac{1}{2} X 1.234 X 3.5^2 \\P.E = 7.56 J

The maximum potential energy is 7.56J

The maximum mechanical energy is equal to the sum of maximum potential energy and the maximum kinetic energy.

ME = K.E + P.E

ME = 7.56J

From the calculations above, the maximum kinetic energy, maximum potential energy and the maximum mechanical energy are equal to 7.56J.
