Two stationary point charges of 3.00 nc and 2.00 nc are separated by a distance of 50.0 cm. an electron is released from rest at a point midway between the charges and moves along the line connecting them. what is the electric potential energy of the electron when it is
1. at the midpoint?
2. 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nc charge?

1. the electric potential energy of the electron when it is at the midpoint is - 2.9 x $10^{-17}$ J

2. the electric potential energy of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nC charge is - 5.04 x $10^{-17}$ J

Explanation:

given information:

$q_{1}$ = 3 nC = 3 x $10^{-9}$ C

$q_{2}$ = 2 nC = 2 x $10^{-9}$ C

r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

the electric potential energy of the electron when it is at the midpoint

potential energy of the charge, F

F = k $\frac{q_{e}q}{r}$

where

k = constant (8.99 x $10^{9} Nm^{2} /C^{2}$ )

electron charge, $q_{e}$ = - 1.6 x $10^{-19}$ C

since it is measured at the midpoint,

r = $\frac{0.5}{2}$

= 0.25 m

thus,

F = $F_{1}+ F_{2}$

= k $\frac{q_{e} q_{1} }{r}$ + k $\frac{q_{e} q_{2} }{r}$

= $\frac{kq_{e} }{r}$ ( $q_{1} +q_{2}$ )

= (8.99 x $10^{9}$ )( - 1.6 x $10^{-19}$ )(3 x $10^{-9}$ +2 x $10^{-9}$ )/0.25

= - 2.9 x $10^{-17}$ J

the electric potential energy of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nC charge

$r_{1}$ = 10 cm = 0.1 m

$r_{2}$ = 0.5 - 0.1 = 0.4 m

F = k $\frac{q_{e} q_{1} }{r}$ + k $\frac{q_{e} q_{2} }{r}$

= $kq_{e}$ ( $\frac{q_{1} }{r_{1} }$ + $\frac{q_{2} }{r_{2} }$ )

= (8.99 x $10^{9}$ )( - 1.6 x $10^{-19}$ )(3 x $10^{-9}$ /0.1+2 x $10^{-9}$ /0.4)

= - 5.04 x $10^{-17}$ J

answer;

d. are made mostly of liquid

explanation;

-the general composition and structure planets includes; they have a thick gas and liquid layer covering a small,solid core. mostly the gases are hydrogen and helium atmosphere and layers of liquid hydrogen. for instance neptune and uranus are examples of the outer planets, they have a core covered by ice and ammonia.

-neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen and helium with a bit of methane so there is no oxygen to breath and the interior is made up of frozen water and ammonia with a rock and iron core. thus, there is no liquid water or solid surface to survive.

Answer from: Quest

Initial velocity, u = 4.9 m/sfinal velocity = v m/sinitial height, h₁ = 245 m final height, h₂ = 0a = -9.8 m/s²time taken = t secondss = ut + 0.5at²⇒ (h₂-h₁) = ut + 0.5at²⇒ 0-245 = 4.9t + 0.5×(-9.8)×t²⇒ -245 = 4.9t - 4.9t²⇒ 4.9t² -4.9t -245 =0solving it, we get t = 7.59sv = u + at = 4.9 -9.8×7.59 = 4.9 - 74.38 = -69.48 m/svelocity is 69.48 m/s downward
