Answer: 539.4 N

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that Coulomb's Law establishes the following:  

"The electrostatic force F_{E} between two point charges q_{1} and q_{2} is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance d that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"

What is written above is expressed mathematically as follows:

F_{E}= K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}} (1)

Where:

F_{E}=60 N  is the electrostatic force

K=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} is the Coulomb's constant  

q_{1} and q_{2} are the electric charges

d=3 m is the separation distance between the charges  

Then:

60 N= 8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{(3 m)^{2}} (2)

Isolating q_{1} and q_{2}:

q_{1}q_{2}=6(10)^{-8} C^{2} (3)

Now, if we keep the same charges but we decrease the distance to d_{1}=1 m, (1) is rewritten as:

F_{E}=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{6(10)^{-8} C^{2}}{(1 m)^{2}} (4)

Then, the new electrostatic force will be:

F_{E}= 539.4 N (5) As we can see, the electrostatic force is increased when we decrease the distance between the charges.

You carry a 20 n bag of dog food up a 6 m flight of stairs. how much work was done?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

No work was done because it is not hard to carry a ####### bag of dog food up the stairs.

Explanation:

The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible.

A certain superconducting magnet in the form of a solenoid of length 0.72 m can generate a magnetic field of 3.5 T in its core w
ira [324]

Answer:

55407

Explanation:

we have given that magnetic field B=3.5 T

current through the coil=90 A

Length of solenoid =0.72 m

we know the formula of magnetic field

B=\frac{\mu _0NI}{l}

so N=\frac{Bl}{\mu _0I}=\frac{3.5\times 0.72}{4\pi \times 10^{-6}\times 90}=55407.277=55407\ turns

so the number of turn in solenoid will be 55407
