We need the power law for the change in potential energy (due to the Coulomb force) in bringing a charge q from infinity to distance r from charge Q. We are only interested in the ratio U₁/U₂, so I'm not going to bother with constants (like the permittivity of space). 

<span>The potential energy of charge q is proportional to </span>
<span>∫[s=r to ∞] qQs⁻²ds = -qQs⁻¹|[s=r to ∞] = qQr⁻¹, </span>

<span>so if r₂ = 3r₁ and q₂ = q₁/4, then </span>
<span>U₁/U₂ = q₁Qr₂/(r₁q₂Q) = (q₁/q₂)(r₂/r₁) </span>
<span>= 4•3 = 12.</span>

U = 0, initial vertical velocity

Neglect air resistance, and g = 9.8 m/s².

The time, t, required for the pen to attain a vertical velocity of 19.62 m/s is given by
19.62 m/s = 0 + (9.8 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 19.62/9.8 = 2.00 s

Answer:  2.0 s

Water enters the constant 130-mm inside-diameter tubes of a boiler at 7 MPa and 65°C and leaves the tubes at 6 MPa and 450°C wit
snow_lady [41]

The inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Explanation:

When water entering the tube of constant diameter flows through the tube, it exhibits continuity of mass in the hydrostatics. So the mass of water moving from the inlet to the outlet tend to be same, but the velocity may differ.

As per mass flow equality which states that the rate of flow of mass in the inlet is equal to the product of area of the tube with the velocity of the water and the density of the tube.

Since, the inlet volume flow is measured as the product of velocity with the area.

Inlet volume flow=Inlet velocity*Area*time

And the mass flow rate is  

Mass flow rate in the inlet=density*area*inlet velocity*time

Mass flow rate in the outlet=density*area*outlet velocity*time

Since, the time and area is constant, the inlet and outlet will be same as

(Mass inlet)/(density*inlet velocity)=Area*Time

(Mass outlet)/(density*outlet velocity)=Area*Time

As the ratio of mass to density is termed as specific volume, then  

(Specific volume inlet)/(Inlet velocity)=(Specific volume outlet)/(Outlet velocity)

Inlet velocity=  (Specific volume inlet)/(Specific volume outlet)*Outlet velocity

As, the specific volume of water at inlet is 0.001017 m³/kg and at outlet is 0.05217 m³/kg and the outlet velocity is given as 72 m/s, the inlet velocity

is

Inlet velocity = \frac{0.001017}{0.05217}*72 =1.4035 m/s

So, the inlet velocity is 1.4035 m/s.

Then the inlet volume will be

Inlet volume = inlet velocity*area of circle=\pi  r^{2}*inlet velocity

As the diameter of tube is 130 mm, then the radius is 65 mm and inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s

Inlet volume = 1.4*3.14*65*65*10^{-6} =0.019 \frac{m^{3} }{s}

So, the inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Thus, the inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

If one replaces the conducting cube with one that has positive charge carriers, in what direction does the induced electric fiel
Grace [21]

Answer:

There will be no change in the direction of the electric field .

Explanation:

The direction will remain the same because the sign of the charges has no effect on it.

When one replaces the conducting cube with one that has positive charge carriers there will be no change in the direction of the field as there is no defined relationship between the direction of the electric field and sign of the charge.

A submarine completed a 450 km training with an average speed of 50 km/h. For the first 180 km, it travelled at an average speed
Kryger [21]

Answer:

45km/hr

Explanation:

Total distance=450km

Total speed=50km/hr

Total time= distance/speed

=450/50

=9hrs

distance a=180km

speed a=60km/hr

Time a=180/60

=3hrs

Distance b=450-180=270km

Speed b=?

Time b=270/speed b

Total time=time a + time b

9=3+(270/speed b)

270/speed b =9-3

270/speed b =6

6*speed b =270

Speed b=270/6

Speed b=45km/hr

Dane is holding an 8 kilogram box 2 metres above the ground. How much energy is in the box's gravitational potential energy stor
9966 [12]

156.8 Joules of energy is in the box's gravitational potential energy store

<u>Explanation</u>:

<em>Given:</em>

Mass of the box Dane is holding = 8 Kilograms

Height at which Dane is holding the box above the ground= 2 metres

<em>To Find:</em>

Gravitational potential energy in the box=?

<em>Solution:</em>

gravitational potential energy is the work done per mass on a object to move that object from one fixed location to to another location against gravity.Its unit is joules or J

Thus  Gravitational potential energy is  represented as,

PE_g=mgh

where

PE_g is the gravitational potential energy

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the gravitational force( 9.8 m/s^2)

Now substituting the given values,

PE_g=8\times 9.8\times 2

PE_g=156.8 Joules
