Answer:

question5: F=74312.5N

question6: charge at the end of antenna=0.37N

Explanation:

Coulomb's law: the magnitude of the force of attraction or repulsion due to two charges is proportional to the product of the magnitude of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the charges.

⇒ $F\alpha\frac{q1*q2}{r^{2}}$

∴ $F=k\frac{q1*q2}{r^{2}}$

where $F$ is the force of attraction or repulsion

$k$ is Coulumb's constant= $9*10^{9}Nm^{2}C^{-2}$

$q1$ and $q2$ are the magnitude of the charges

$r$ is the distance between two charges

The force between the two charges is attractive if they are of different polarity

The force between the two charges is repulsive if they are of same polarity

Question5:

Given: q1=0.041 C, q2=0.029 C, r=12 m

therefore by Coulumb's law,

$F=9*10^{9}*\frac{0.041*0.029}{12^{2}}$

$F=74312.5N$

Question6:

Given: q1= $3*10^{-18}C$ , r=5 m, F= $4*10^{-11}N$

therefore by Coulumb's law,

$4*10^{-11}=9*10^{9}*\frac{3*10^{-18}*q2}{5^{2}}$

⇒ $q2=\frac{4*10^{-11}*25}{9*10^{9}*3*10^{-18}} \\=0.37C$

A skater extends her arms, holding a 2 kg mass in each hand. She is rotating about a vertical axis at a given rate. She brings h

Usimov [2.4K]

Explanation:

It is known that relation between torque and angular acceleration is as follows.

$\tau = I \times \alpha$

and, I = $\sum mr^{2}$

So, $I_{1} = 2 kg \times (1 m)^{2} + 2 kg \times (1 m)^{2}$

= 4 $kg m^{2}$

$\tau_{1} = 4 kg m^{2} \times \alpha_{1}$

$\tau_{2} = I_{2} \alpha_{2}$

So, $I_{2} = 2 kg \times (0.5 m)^{2} + 2 kg \times (0.5 m)^{2}$

= 1 $kg m^{2}$

as $\tau_{2} = I_{2} \alpha_{2}$

= $1 kg m^{2} \times \alpha_{2}$

Hence, $\tau_{1} = \tau_{2}$

$4 \alpha_{1} = \alpha_{2}$

$\alpha_{1} = \frac{1}{4} \alpha_{2}$

Thus, we can conclude that the new rotation is $\frac{1}{4}$ times that of the first rotation rate.

Define speed and what is it’s SI unit.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. ... Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour........?
