Answer:

0.055 N

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

F α 1/r²

F = k/r²

F₁r₁² = F₂r₂²......................... Equation 1

Where F₁ = Initial force, r₁ = initial distance, F₂ = Final force, r₂ = Final distance.

making F₂ the subject of the equation

F₂ = F₁r₁²/r₂²..................... Equation 2

Given: F₁ = 5.50 N.

Let: r₁ = x m, then r₂= 10x m

Substitute into equation 2

F₂ = 5.5(x²)/(10x)²

F₂ = 5.5x²/100x²

F₂ = 5.5/100

F₂ = 0.055 N.

Hence the force becomes 0.055 N

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=m₂ = m

m₃ = 2 m

Given that speed of the two pieces

u₁=- 25 j m/s

u₂ =- 25 i m/s

Lets take the speed of the third mass = v m/s

From linear momentum conservation

Pi= Pf

0 = m₁u₁+m₂u₂ + m₃ v

0 = -25 j m  - 25 i m + 2 m v

2 v=25 j   + 25 i m/s

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Therefore the speed of the third mass will be v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

What is the change in potential energy if the distance separating the electron and proton is increased to 1.0 nm?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J

Explanation:

The change in potential energy can be expressed as:

Ep=K.\frac{q1.q2}{r}

where K is a constant with a value of 9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}, q1 and q2 are the charges of the proton and the electron and r is the distance between them.

The charge for the proton is +1.6*10^{-19}C and the charge for the electron is -1.6*10^{-19}C.

Converting r=1.0nm to m:

1.0nm*\frac{1*10^{-9}m}{1.0nm}=1*10^{-9}m

Replacing values:

Ep=9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}.\frac{(+1.6*10^{-19}C).(-1.6*10^{-19}C)}{1*10^{-9}m}

Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J

A person is standing on a raft; their
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The volume of water displaced by the raft is 0.233 m³

Explanation:

The question relates to Archimedes' principle which states that the buoyant force experienced by an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of (the force of gravity on) the displaced fluid

The given parameters are;

The combined mass of the person and the raft, m = 233 kg

The liquid on which the raft is located = Water

The density of water, \rho _{water} = 1000 kg/m³

Weight = Mass, m × g

Where;

m = The mass of the object

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Given that the raft is on the surface of the water (floating), the buoyant force is equal to the combined weight of the person and the raft = 233 kg

The combined weight of the person and the raft, W_{combined} = 233 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 2,283.4 N

Therefore;

The buoyant force = 2,283.4 N = The weight of the water displaced

The mass of the water displaced, m_{water}, = 2,283.4 N/(9.8 m/s²) = 233 kg

Density = Mass/Volume

The volume of water displaced by the raft = The mass of the water displaced/(The density of the water) = 233 kg/(1,000 kg/m³) = 0.233 m³.
