Time velocity accelertion @ point x two electrons

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the velocity and acceleration of two electrons in empty space under mutual electrostatic repulsion, starting from rest. Participants suggest using equations that relate distance, time, and force, including E(r) = (KeC^2)/r and v(r) = 2keC^2/mr. The conversation emphasizes the need for clearer definitions and proper formulation of the problem to derive the correct equations. A differential equation approach is proposed to find the position as a function of time, which can then be inverted to determine time as a function of distance. Overall, the focus is on developing mathematical models to describe the motion of the electrons.

If two electrons are in absolutly empty space at starting distance d1(distance between two non fixed freely moving charges) with v1 = 0(rate of change of distance between both charges)
what is v2(rate of change between both charges), a2(rate of change of rate of change of distance between both charges) at a distance d2(any distance not equal to or less than d1, being that a repulsive force is being applied) and how much time has passed I'm interested in some equation ideas :) refer to time as a function of distance I appologise for my vague wording

So are we ! :biggrin:

In fact, you should start by posting the question EXACTLY as it appears in your HW, as what you've posted is very poorly defined.
 
what homework I posted the last question in another subject heading and this is where they sent me literaly moved my question
I was told to rewrite my question in words that's why there's the new post I don't want specific numbers only the equations refer to time as a function of distance I am pretty sure I made a mistake but the general concept should hold true thank you for your time
 
I hope this looks more correct than what yall been calling garble for the past 48 hours

E(r) = (KeC^2)/r

hence

v(r) = 2keC^2/mr

t(r) = m/(2KeC^2) (1/3(r2^3) - 1/3 (r1^3)

where
r is the distance between two freely moving charges
m is the total mass of the electrons
t is time
v is the rate of change of distance between both charges
 
Let me go by what I think this is about...

At t=0, two electrons are at rest, at the origin. They are then allowed to move away from each other under their mutual electrostatic repulsion. At any time t' their posotions are x(t') and -x(t'). You want to find the value of t' for which x(t') - \{-x(t')\} = 2x(t') = d2

a(t) = \ddot {x}(t) = \frac {F(t)}{m} = \frac {kq^2}{m|x_1(t) - x_2(t)|^2}

\implies \ddot {x} = \frac {A}{x^2}

Solving that differential equation will give you x(t), from which you can find t(x) by inverting the function.

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
