Answer: 168.75 N

Explanation:

first, let's convert microcoulombs to coulombs

q1 = 1e-4 C

q2 = 3e-5 C

r = 0.4 m

then use the equation Fe = $\frac{kq_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2} }$

plug in values --> F = (9e9*1e-4*3e-5)/(0.4)^2

F = 168.75 N

Can someone solve this problem and explain to me how you got it

likoan [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Coulomb's law states that the force of attraction or repulsion between any two charges is proportional to the product of the magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the 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

Question 7:

Given: $F=1.9*10^{-29}N$ , $q1=q2=1.6*10^{-19}C$

By coulomb's law,

$1.9*10^{-29}=9*10^{9}*\frac{1.6*10^{-19}*1.6*10^{-19}}{r^{2}}$

⇒ $r=3.5m$

Question 6:

Given: $q1=q2=-1.5*10^{-6}C$ , $r=0.28m$

By coulomb's law,

$F=9*10^{9}*\frac{1.5*10^{-6}*1.5*10^{-6}}{0.28^{2}}$

⇒ $F=0.26N$

How do you calculate the electric force by object a exerted on object a (itself)?

max2010maxim [7]

I don't think an object can exert a force on itself.

Try it: Get up on a skateboard, and see if you can do anything to yourself that makes you start moving ... without touching anything else.

It'll be easy to tell if you succeed. If you actually do exert an unbalanced force on yourself, then you'll begin to accelerate.

¿Cuál es la magnitud y dirección de la aceleración de los cuerpos en caída libre en el planeta Tierra?

Tatiana [17]

La magnitud es de 9.8 m/s² ... la aceleración de la gravedad en o cerca de la superficie de la Tierra.

La dirección es hacia el centro de la Tierra. (Llamamos a esa dirección "abajo").
