Particles in a solid are arranged in a regular, tightly packed configuration.

A solid has a definite shape and volume, since its particles are held closely together leaving no room.

A point charge with charge q1 = 4.00 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with charge q2 = -4.40 μC moves

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

W=0.94J

Explanation:

Electrostatic potential energy is the energy that results from the position of a charge in an electric field. Therefore, the work done to move a charge from point 1 to point 2 will be the change in electrostatic potential energy between point 1 and point 2.

This energy is given by:

$U=\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r}\\$

So, the work done to move the chargue is:

$W=U_1-U_2\\W=\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r_1}-\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r_2}\\r_1=\sqrt{((0.155 m)^2+0 m)^2}=0.115m\\r_2=\sqrt{((0.245 m)^2+(0.270 m)^2}=0.365m\\W=K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |(\frac{1}{r_1}-\frac{1}{r_2})\\W=8.99*10^9\frac{Nm^2}{c^2}(4.00*10^{-6}C)(4.40*10^{-6}C)(\frac{1}{0.115m}-\frac{1}{0.365})\\W=0.94J$

The work is positive since the potential energy in 1 is greater than 2.

A 53-N force is needed to keep a 50.0-kg box sliding across a flat surface at a constant velocity. What is the coefficient of ki

earnstyle [38]

The weight of the box is (mass) x (gravity) = (50 kg) x (9.8m/s²) = 490 newtons.

If the box is sliding at constant speed, and not speeding up or slowing down,
that means that the horizontal forces on it add up to zero.

Since you're pushing on it with 53N in that direction, friction must be pulling
on it with 53N in the other direction.

The 53N of friction is (the weight) x (the coefficient of kinetic friction).

53N = (490N) x (coefficient).

Divide each side by 490N : Coefficient = (53N) / (490N) = 0.1082 .

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, that's 0.11 . (choice 'd')

In models of magnetic and electric fields, why are field vectors depicted by arrows?

taurus [48]

The arrows in models of magnetic and electric fields show both their magnitude and direction.

In Physics, a vector refers to a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Hence, a vector always points in a given direction. The direction in which the arrow points is the direction of the vector in space.

In models of magnetic and electric fields, field vectors depicted by arrows because they represent both their magnitude and direction. The length of the arrow shows magnitude.

Choose the scenario in which the sound frequency of the waves is higher.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Explanation:

The Dopper Effect is a phenomenon that occur when there is relative motion between an observer and a source of a wave. When this situation occurs, there is an apparent shift in frequency of the wave, as observed by the observer.

The apparent frequency observed by the observer is given by

$f'=\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s}f$

where

f is the original frequency of the wave

f' is the apparent frequency

v is the speed of the wave

$v_o$ is the velocity of the observer (positive if moving towards the source of the wave, negative otherwise)

$v_s$ is the velocity of the source (negative if moving towards from the observer, positive otherwise)

In this problem, we want to find the scenario in which the sound frequency is higher.

We see that in all 4 scenarios, the sound source is moving: this means we have to find the scenario in which the denominator of the equation is smaller.

First of all, we notice the sound source moves towards the observer, $v_s$ is negative, so the denominator is higher: this means that the correct option must be either A or B.

Also, we notice that since $v_s$ is negative, a value larger in magnitude will mean a smaller denominator: therefore, the correct answer will be

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Since this situation will make the denominator of the formula the smallest possible.
