<span>890 Coulomb's law is F = k * q1 * q2 / r^2 where F = force k = Coulomb's constant 8.99x10^9 N m^2/C^2 q1,q2 = signed charges r = distance between charges Since the charges are the same, let's simplify the equation, solve for q, then substitute the known values and calculate. F = k * q1 * q2 / r^2 F = k * q^2 / r^2 F*r^2 = k * q^2 F*r^2/k = q^2 sqrt(F*r^2/k) = q sqrt(4.57x10^-21 N * (0.2m)^2 / (8.99x10^9 N m^2/C^2)) = q sqrt((4.57x10^-21 N * 0.04m^2) / (8.99x10^9 N m^2/C^2)) = q sqrt((1.828x10^-22 N*m^2) / (8.99x10^9 N m^2/C^2)) = q sqrt(2.03337x10^-32 C^2) = q 1.42596x10^-16 C = q So each sphere has to have an excess of 1.42596x10^-16 Coulombs of electrons. A coulomb is 6.24150934x10^18 electrons, so let's do the multiplication: 1.42596x10^-16 * 6.24150934x10^18 = 8.9001426584664x10^2 = 890 So each sphere has an extra 890 electrons.</span>

A student decides to spend spring break by driving 50 miles due east, then 50 miles 30 degrees south of east, then 50 miles 30 d
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a. 600 ml, 12

Explanation:

The movement described in the question exhibits that of a polygon. Exhibiting a constant distance and angle with only varying direction until the starting point is reached.

The sum of exterior angles of a polygon = 360 degrees.

Exterior angle of a polygon = (360 ÷ number of sides)

Therefore,

Number of sides = 360 ÷ exterior angle

Exterior angle = 30 degrees

Hence,

Number of sides = 360 ÷ 30 = 12 sides

Since distance traveled of 50 miles is the same for each displacement ;

Total displacement = distance traveled * number of sides

Total displacement = 50 * 12 = 600 miles.

At what speed, as a fraction of c , is a particle's total energy twice its rest energy
WINSTONCH [101]
The rest energy of a particle is
E_0=m_0 c^2
where m_0 is the rest mass of the particle and c is the speed of light.

The total energy of a relativistic particle is
E=mc^2 =  \frac{m_0 c^2}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }
where v is the speed of the particle.

We want the total energy of the particle to be twice its rest energy, so that
E=2E_0
which means:
\frac{m_0c^2}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }=2m_0 c^2
\frac{1}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }=2
From which we find the ratio between the speed of the particle v and the speed of light c:
\frac{v}{c}=  \sqrt{1- (\frac{1}{2})^2 }  =0.87
So, the particle should travel at 0.87c in order to have its total energy equal to twice its rest energy.

Two angles are supplementary. The first angle measures 40°. What is the measurement of the second angle?
e-lub [12.9K]

Supplementary angles add up to 180°. 
If one is 40°, then the other is  (180° - 40°)  =  140° .

None of those choices describes a plane. 
Choice 'C' is the only example of a plane.
