A charge of +Q is fixed in space. A second charge of +q was first placed at a distance r1 away from +Q. Then it was moved along

a straight line to a new position at a distance R away from its starting position. The final location of +q is at a distance r2 from +Q.
What is the change in the potential energy of charge +q during this process?
(A) kQq/R
(B) kQqR/r12
(C) kQqR/r22
(D) kQq((1/r2)-(1/r1))
(E) kQq((1/r1)-(1/r2))

The appropriate answer is option (D). Explanation: The potential energy between two charges is represented by the formula where r denotes the distance separating the two charges. For the first instance, the distance equals r1, resulting in a specific potential energy value. In the subsequent situation, where the distance changes to r2, there is a new value of potential energy. The difference in potential energy can thus be calculated as.

help please!! A runner at a speed of 3.5 m/s comes to a stop in 0.15 seconds. What is the deceleration?
Maru [3345]

Answer:

The runner's deceleration is -23.33 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Given:

Initial speed = 3.5 \frac{m}{s}

Final speed = 0 \frac{m}{s}

Time taken = 0.15 s

To determine:

Deceleration of the runner =?

Used Formula:

Using the first equation of motion,

v = u + at

Where, v = final speed

u = initial speed

a = deceleration

t = duration

Solution:

<pusing the="" first="" equation="" of="" motion="">

v = u + at

Where, v = final speed

u = initial speed

a = deceleration

t = duration

0 = 3.5 + a (0.15)

-3.5 = 0.15 (a)

a = \frac{-3.5}{0.15}

a = -23.33 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

The negative sign indicates that this represents deceleration.

Hence, the deceleration of the runner is -23.33 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

9. A 2 liter bottle of Coke weighs about 2 kilograms. If that bottle were combined with an equal amount of anti-Coke, how many J
Maru [3345]

Answer:

The energy expected to be released is calculated to be 4182 Joules.

Explanation:

The total mass of coke is 2 kg, which is equivalent to 2000 g

1 calorie per gram corresponds to 4.184 Joules of energy

4.184 J/gC * 2000g results in 8368 J

1 food calorie approximates to 4186 J

By subtracting, we find 8368 - 4186

Hence, the total energy that will be released amounts to 4182 Joules.

A baseball thrown at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal strikes a building 16.0 m away at a point 8.00 m above the point fro
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

a) v_{o} =16m/s

b) v=9.8m/s

c) \beta =-35.46º

Explanation:

According to the problem, the distance from the building where the ball hits is 16m, and its final elevation exceeds the initial height by 8m.

With this information, we can compute the ball’s starting speed.

a) Let's first assess the horizontal trajectory.

x=v_{ox}t

x=v_{o}cos(60)t

v_{o}=\frac{x}{tcos(60)}=\frac{16m}{tcos(60)} (1)

This gives us our initial equation.

Next, we need to examine the vertical trajectory.

y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

y_{o}+8=y_{o}+v_{o}sin(60)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

Utilizing v_{o} in our first equation (1)

8=\frac{16}{tcos(60)}sin(60)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2=16tan(60)-8

Now let’s solve for t.

t=\sqrt{\frac{2(16tan(60)-8)}{9.8} } =2s

The ball takes two seconds to reach the adjacent building, allowing us to compute its initial speed.

v_{o}=\frac{16m}{(2s)cos(60)}=16m/s

b) To determine the velocity magnitude just before impact, we must calculate both x and y components.

v_{x}=v_{ox}+at=16cos(60)=8m/s

v_{y}=v_{oy}+gt=16sin(60)-(9.8)(2)=-5.7m/s

The computed velocity magnitude is:

v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{(8m/s)^2+(-5.7m/s)^2}=9.8m/s

c) The ball's angle is:

\beta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_{y} }{v_{x}})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-5.7}{8})=-35.46º
