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 carnival merry-go-round rotates about a vertical axis at a constant rate. A man standing on the edge has a constant speed of 3
Advocard [28]

Answer:

r = 5.07 m

Explanation:

given,

velocity of the man , v = 3.43 m/s

centripetal acceleration, a = 2.32 m/s²

magnitude of position of = ?

using centripetal acceleration formula

a_c =\dfrac{v^2}{r}

2.32 =\dfrac{3.43^2}{r}

r =\dfrac{3.43^2}{2.32}

   r = 5.07 m

The magnitude of the position vector relative to rotational axis is equal to 5.07 m.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Force is the product of mass and acceleration .
The question is ask to find acceleration.
But acceleration is the ratio of the force and the mass.
where 600kg is the mass and 7kN is the force
NB: kilo is 1000
now we have to multiply 7N by 1000
by doing so you will have 7000N
which is the force.
Now to find the acceleration: force/ mass
which is 7000/600
therefore the maximum acceleration is 11.667
