Given:

The force of attraction is F = 48.1 N

The separation between the charges is

\begin{gathered} r=\text{ 60.9 cm} \\ =\text{ 60.9}\times10^{-2}\text{ m} \end{gathered}

Also, the magnitude of charge q1 = q2 = q.

To find the magnitude of charge.

Explanation:

The magnitude of charge can be calculated by the formula

\begin{gathered} F=\frac{k(2q)}{r^2} \\ q=\frac{Fr^2}{2k} \end{gathered}

Here, k is the Coulomb's constant whose value is

k\text{ = 9}\times10^9\text{ N m}^2\text{ /C}^2

On substituting the values, the magnitude of charge will be

\begin{gathered} q=\frac{48.1\times(60.9^\times10^{-2})^2}{2\times9\times10^{^9}} \\ =9.91\times10^{-10}\text{ C} \\ =9.91\times10^{-4}\text{ }\mu C \end{gathered}

Thus, the magnitude of each charge is 9.91 x 10^(-4) micro Coulombs.

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on a 445-kg satellite that is a distance of 1.77 earth radii from
victus00 [196]

Answer:

a)1396.52 N

b)1396.52 N

c)a_{satellite}= 3.13 m/sec^2

d)a_{earth}=2.32\times10^{-22} m/s^2

Explanation:

The force experienced by the satelite is giveb by

F= \frac{Gm_{satellite}m_{earth}}{r^2} \\

m_{satellite}= 445 Kg

m_{earth}= 6×10^24 Kg

radius r= 1.77Re= 1.77×6.38×10^6 m

now putting values we get

F= \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}(445)(6\times10^24)}{(1.77\times6.38\times10^6)^2}

⇒F= 1396.52 N

now,

a_{satellite}= \frac{F}{m_{satellite}}

a_{satellite}= \frac{1396.52}{445}

a_{satellite}= 3.13 m/sec^2

also,

a_{earth}= \frac{F}{m_{earth}}

a_{earth}= \frac{1396.52}{(6\times10^24)}

a_{earth}=2.32\times10^{-22} m/s^2

A 3.0-kg object moves to the right with a speed of 2.0 m/s. It collides in a perfectly elastic collision with a 6.0-kg object mo
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the system after the collision is 9 J.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of object 1, m₁ = 3 kg

Speed of object 1, v₁ = 2 m/s

Mass of object 2, m₂ = 6 kg

Speed of object 2, v₂ = -1 m/s (it is moving in left)

Since, the collision is elastic. The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is equal to the kinetic energy of the system after the collision. Let it is E. So,

E=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_1^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\ kg\times (2\ m/s)^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6\ kg\times (-1\ m/s)^2

E = 9 J

So, the kinetic energy of the system after the collision is 9 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

An ultra intense laser is one with which intensities greater than 1015 W cm-2 can be achieved.

Explanation:

This intensity, which was the upper limit of lasers until the invention of the Chirped Pulse Amplification, CPA technique, is the value around which nonlinear effects on the transport of radiation in materials begin to appear.

Currently, the most powerful lasers reach intensities of the order of 1021W cm-2 and powers of Petawatts, PW, in each pulse. This range of intensities has opened the door for lasers to a multitude of disciplines and scientific areas traditionally reserved for accelerators and nuclear reactors, applying as generators of high-energy electron, ion, neutron and photon beams, without the need for expensive infrastructure.
