Two small metal cubes with masses 2. 0 g and 4. 0 g are tied together by a 5. 0-cm-long massless string and are at rest on a fri

ctionless surface. Each is charged to +2. 0 μc. What is the energy of this system? what is the tension in the string? the string is cut. What is the speed of each cube when they are far apart?.

The energy of the system, tension in the string, and speed of each cube are respectively; U = 0.72 J, T = 14 N and (V₂, V₄) = (-22, 14)

<h3>Calculation of energy and tension in a String</h3>

We are given;

Mass of cube 1; m₁ = 2 g

Mass of cube 2; m₂ = 4 g

Distance between cubes; d = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Charges of cubes; Q = q = +2. 0 μc = 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ C

A) Formula for the energy of the system is;

U = kQq/d

U = 8.99 × 10⁹ × (2.0 × 10⁻⁶ C)²/0.05 m

U = 0.03596/0.05

U = 0.72 J

B) Formula for the Tension is;

T = U/d

T = 0.72/0.05

T ≈ 14 N

C) Momentum is conserved, and as such the initial momentum is zero. Thus;

0 = (0.0020 × V₂) + (0.0040 × V₄)

⇒ V₂ = -2V₄

Energy is also conserved and so;

(½ × 0.0020 × (-2V₄)²) + (½ × 0.004 × (V₄)²) = 0.72 J

-0.0040V₄² + 0.002V₄² = 0.72 J

0.0060V₄² = 0.72 J

V₄² = 0.72/0.0060

V₄² = 120

V₄ = √120

V₄ ≈ 11 m/s

Recall that; V₂ = -2V₄

Thus;

V₂ = -2(11) m/s

V₂ = -22 m/s

Thus;

(V₂, V₄) = (-22, 14)

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Given the reaction equation; ClO3−(aq)+3Cu(s)+6H+(aq)→Cl−(aq)+3Cu2+(aq)+3H2O(l), the cell notation is Cu/Cu2+//ClO3-/Cl/Pt.

<h3>What is an electrochemical cell?</h3>

A electrochemical cell is one in which electrical energy is produced by chemical processess. In this case, the cell reaction equation is; ClO3−(aq)+3Cu(s)+6H+(aq)→Cl−(aq)+3Cu2+(aq)+3H2O(l).The electrode used here is Pt.

Looking at the equation, we can write the notation for the cell reaction as;Cu/Cu2+//ClO3-/Cl/Pt.

What is the product? mc019-1. Jpg mc019-2. Jpg mc019-3. Jpg mc019-4. Jpg.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

(-2x-9y^2)(-4x-3)

Distributing -2x:

-2x * -4x = 8x^2

-2x * -3 = 6x

Distributing -9y^2:

-9y^2 * -4x = 36xy^2

-9y^2 * -3 = 27y^2

8x^2+6x +36xy^2 + 27y^2

I asked the same question and got this as an answer. Hope this helps! :)
