Let K.E $_{i}$ be the intial K.E and K.E $_{new}$ be new K.E,

I $_{new}$ = $\frac{2}{5} I _{i}$

K.E $_{i} = \frac{I_{i} w^{2} }{2}$ --- (i)
K.E $_{new} = \frac{I_{new}w^{2} }{2}$

Therefore,
K.E $_{new} = \frac{2I_{i}w^{2} }{5*2}$ ----(ii)

Dividing i and ii,

$\frac{K.E_{new} }{K.E_{i} } = \frac{2}{5}$

The rest of the question

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 55.0 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.220 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force. Express your answer numerically in newtons to three significant figures.

Answer:

The net force exerted on the third charge is $F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The third charge is $q_3 = 55 nC = 55 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the third charge is $x = -1.220 \ m$

The first charge is $q_1 = -16 nC = -16 *10^{-9} \ C$

The position of the first charge is $x_1 = -1.650m$

The second charge is $q_2 = 32 nC = 32 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the second charge is $x_2 = 0 \ m$

The distance between the first and the third charge is

$d_{1-3} = -1.650 -(-1.220)$

$d_{1-3} = -0.43 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is

$F_{1-3} = \frac{k q_1 q_3}{d_{1-3}^2}$

Where k is the coulomb's constant with a value $9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.$

substituting values

$F_{1-3} = \frac{9*10^{9}* 16 *10^{-9} * (55*10^{-9})}{(-0.43)^2}$

$F_{1-3} = 4.28 *10^{-5} \ N$

The distance between the second and the third charge is

$d_{2-3} = 0- (-1.22)$

$d_{2-3} =1.220 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is mathematically evaluated as

$F_{2-3} = \frac{k q_2 q_3}{d_{2-3}^2}$

substituting values

$F_{2-3} = \frac{9*10^{9} * (32*10^{-9}) *(55*10^{-9})}{(1.220)^2}$

$F_{2-3} = 1.06*10^{-5} N$

The net force is

$F_{net} = F_{1-3} -F_{2-3}$

substituting values

$F_{net} = 4.28 *10^{-5} - 1.06*10^{-5}$

$F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

A long line of charge with uniform linear charge density λ1 is located on the x-axis and another long line of charge with unifor

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

A.The positive z-direction

Explanation:

We are given that

Linear charge density of long line which is located on the x-axis= $\lambda_1$

Linear charge density of another long line which is located on the y-axis= $\lambda_2$

We have to find the direction of electric field at z=a on the positive z-axis if $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are positive.

The direction of electric field at z=a on the positive z-axis is positive z-direction .

Because $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are positive and the electric field is applied away from the positive charge.

Hence, option A is true.

A.The positive z-direction

A +0.2 µC charge is in an electric field. What happens if that charge is replaced by a +0.4 µC charge?

AleksandrR [38]

Explanation:

It is known that electric field is responsible for creating electric potential. As a result, it depends only on the electric field and not on the magnitude of charge.

So, when a charge is increased by a factor of 2 then electric potential will remain the same. Since, expression to calculate the electric potential is as follows.

U = qV

Since, the electric potential is directly proportional to the charge. Hence, when 0.2 $\mu C$ tends to replaced by 0.4 $\mu C$ then charge is increased by a factor of 2. Hence, the electric potential energy is doubled.

Thus, we can conclude that if that charge is replaced by a +0.4 µC charge then electric potential stays the same, but the electric potential energy doubles.
