Answer:

q₂ = + 4.17 x 10⁺⁷ C

Explanation:

From Coulomb's Law, we know that force of attraction or repulsion between two charges is given by:

F = kq₁q₂/r²

where,

F = force = 12 N

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q₁ = magnitude of 1st charge = 8 x 10⁻⁶ C

r = distance between charges = 0.05 m

q₂ = magnitude of second charge = ?

Therefore,

12 N = (9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²)(8 x 10⁻⁶ C)(q₂)/(0.05 m)²

0.03 Nm² = (72000 Nm²/C²)(q₂)

q₂ = (0.03 Nm²)/(72000 Nm²/C²)

<u>q₂ = + 4.17 x 10⁺⁷ C</u>

<u>It is a positive charge, because there is attraction between opposite charges only.</u>

Answer:

<h2>Magnitude of the second charge is -4.17*10^{-7}C</h2>

Explanation:

According to columbs law;

F = kq1q2/r^{2}

F is the attractive or repulsive force between the charges = 12N

q1 and q2 are the charges

let q1 = - 8.0 x 10^-6 C

q2=?

r is the distance between the charges = 0.050m

k is the coulumbs constant =9*10⁹ kg⋅m³⋅s⁻⁴⋅A⁻²

On substituting the given values

12 = 9*10⁹*( - 8.0 x 10^-6)q2/0.050²

Cross multiplying

0.03=9*10^{9}*  -8.0*10^{-6} q2\\0.03 = -72*10^{3} q2\\q2 = \frac{0.03}{ -72*10^{3}} \\q2 = -4.17*10^{-7}C

A body weighs 100newtons and 80newtons when submerged in water.calculate the upthrust action on the body
katovenus [111]

Answer:

20 N

Explanation:

In air, the normal force is equal to the weight.

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

Submerged in water, the normal force is equal to the weight minus the buoyant force:

∑F = ma

B + N − mg = 0

N = mg − B

Plugging in values:

80 N = 100 N − B

B = 20 N
