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 solid cube of side 5cm has a mass of 250g. What is its density in kgm ??​
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

5kgm

Explanation:

convert cm to m and g to kg

250/1000=0.25kg

5/1000=0.05m

then find the density

density=mass/volume

=0.25kg/0.05m

=5kgm

Momentum is usually not exactly conserved in a real world demonstration of momentum conservation. What is a possible reason for
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

For any collision occurring in an isolated system, momentum is conserved. The total amount of momentum of the collection of objects in the system is the same before the collision as after the collision.

If a 12 kg cat is sitting 5 m up in a tree, how much PE does it have?
Helen [10]

Answer:

588 J

Explanation:

PE (potential energy) = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

mass = 12 kg

gravity = 9.8m/s^2

height = 5 m

PE = (12) x (9.8) x (5) = 588 J (Joules)
