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

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

speed of swimming in still water is given by the expression

distance / time

= 50 / 25

= 2 m /s

In lane 1 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing in the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of  2 + 1.2 = 3.2 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / 3.2 = 15.625 s

In lane 8 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing against  the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of  2 - 1.2 = .8 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / .8 = 62.5 s

J.J. Thomson discovered the electron by noticing that: A. molecules with the same atoms exhibited the same chemical properties.
GenaCL600 [577]

J.J. Thomson discovered the electron by noticing that a beam of particles could be influenced by an electric or magnetic force.. That is option B.

<h3>What is an electron?</h3>

An electron can be defined as the part of an atom that is negatively charged and is found revolving round the nucleus of an atom.

J.J. Thomson was the scientist that discovered electrons through subjecting two oppositely-charged electric plates around the cathode ray.

He noticed that the particles where deflected by both the magnetic and electric fields.
