The magnitude and sign of the charge are 0.8 MC and negative respectively.

To find the answer, we need to know about the electric potential of a point charge.

<h3>What's the mathematical expression of the electric potential of a point charge?</h3>

Mathematically, the electric potential at a distance 'r' from a point charge 'q' is given as (Kq)/r.
K is the electrical constant with value 9×10^(-9) in vaccum.

<h3>What will be the magnitude and sign of a charge, if potential is -3.50V at 2mm?</h3>

From the expression of electric potential, charge is

q= (potential ×r)/K

= (-3.5×0.002)/ (9×10^(-9))

= -0.8 mega coulomb.

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude and sign of the charge are 0.8 MC and negative respectively.

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 10

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: Their final relative velocity is -0.412 m/s.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation,

$m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2} = (m_{1} + m_{2})v$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2} = (m_{1} + m_{2})v$

$2.50 \times 10^{3} kg \times 0 m/s + 7.50 \times 10^{3} kg \times -0.550 m/s = (2.50 \times 10^{3} kg + 7.50 \times 10^{3} kg)v$

$-4.12 \times 10^{3} kg m/s = (10^{4} kg) v$

v = $\frac{-4.12 \times 10^{3} kg m/s}{10^{4} kg}$

= -0.412 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that their final relative velocity is -0.412 m/s.

Static cling makes your clothes stick together. what causes this to happen? 1. external forces to the clothes 2. forces of natur

djyliett [7]

This phenomenon is as a result of static friction created by the tumbling clothes. Static friction results from the rubbing together of two or mores objects or body and electrons are stripped from one surface of the clothes more than the other. This creates an electrostatic force of attractions between the positive charges on one cloth and the negative charges on the other cloth.(unlike charges attract).

why are waves faster in liquids and gases than in air

Alika [10]

Answer:

Sound travels faster in liquids than in gases because molecules are packed more closely together. This means that when the water molecules begin to vibrate, they quickly begin to collide with each other forming a rapidly moving compression wave. Sound travels over four times faster than in air
