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}

A hypothetical planet has a mass of 1.66 times that of Earth, but the same radius. What is gravitiy near its surface?
baherus [9]

Answer: 16.22 m/s^2

Explanation: g= GM/r^2 G= (6.67x 10^-11) M= 1.66(6x 10^24) r=(6400x 10^3) so

((6.67x10^-11)(1.66x 6x 10^24))/ (6400x10^3)^2 = 16.22 m/s^2

A cannonball is launched from the ground at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal and a speed of 30 m/s. Ideally (no air r
marusya05 [52]

As we know that here no air resistance while ball is moving in air

So here we will say that

initial total energy = final total energy

KE_i + U_i = KE_f + U_f

here we know that

Ui = U_f = 0 (as it will be on ground at initial and final position)

so we will say

KE_i = KE_f

since mass is always conserved

so we will say that final speed of the ball must be equal to the initial speed of the ball

so we have

v_f = v_i = 30 m/s

If the sun is 400 times bigger than the moon, how couild the moon possibly cover the sun during a solar eclipse?​
AlekseyPX

Explanation:

the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun Even though the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, because it is just the right distance away from Earth, the Moon can fully block the Sun's light from Earth's perspective This completely blocks out the Sun's light
