Answer:

2.30 × 10⁻⁸ N if the two electrons are in a vacuum.

Explanation:

The Coulomb's Law gives the size of the electrostatic force F between two charged objects:

\displaystyle F = -\frac{k\cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}},

where

  • k is coulomb's constant. k = 8.99\times 10^{8}\;\text{N}\cdot\text{m}^{2}\cdot\text{C}^{-2} in vacuum.
  • q_1 and q_2 are the signed charge of the objects.
  • r is the distance between the two objects.

For the two electrons:

  • q_1 = q_2 = 1.60\times 10^{-19}\;\text{C}.
  • r = 1\times 10^{-10}\;\text{m}.
  • \displaystyle F = -\frac{k\cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}} = -\frac{8.99\times 10^{8}\times (1.60\times 10^{-19})^{2}}{(1\times 10^{-10})^{2}} = 2.30\times 10^{-8}\;\text{N}.

The sign of F is negative. In other words, the two electrons repel each other since the signs of their charges are the same.

Gravity provides a centripetal force on the Moon, helping it stay in orbit around Earth.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Both gravity and centrifugal force act on the Moon which causes it get pulled towards Earth (gravity) and get "flung away" so it doesn't hit us (centrifugal force).

An object, when pushed with a net force F, has an acceleration of 4 m/s . Now twice the force is applied to an object that has f
hjlf

Answer:

B. 2 m/s

B. Acceleration = 4.05 m/s² and Tension = 297.5 N.

Explanation:

A force is applied on a mass m whose acceleration is 4 m/s

Force = mass × acceleration

a = F/m = 4 m/s

4 m/s = F/m

F = 4 m/s (m)

If  Force of 2F is applied on a mass of 4m ; it acceleration is as follows:

2F/4 m = F/ 2m

4m/s (m) / 2m = 2 m/s

a = 2 m/s

2.

Given that

mass m_1 = 30 kg

mass m_2 = 50 kg

\mu = 0.1

From the question; we can arrive at two cases;

That :

m_{2} a _ \ {net} }= m_2g - T   ----- equation (1)

m_{1} a _ \ {net} }=  T - mg sin \theta  - F ---- equation (2)

50 a = 50 g - T

30 a = T - 30 g sin 30 - 4 × 30 g cos 30

By summation

80 a =[ 50  - 30 * \frac{1}{2} - 0.1 *30* \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}]g

80 a = 32. 4 × 10 m/s ²  (using g as 10m/s²)

80 a = 324 m/s ²

a = 324/80

a = 4.05 m/s²

From equation , replace a with 4.05

50 × 4.05 = 50 × 10 - T

T = 500 -202.5

T =297.5 N
