What is the distance between two spheres, each with a charge of 2.5 x 10-6 c, when the force between them is 0.50 n?

1 answer:

7 0

In this case, Coulomb's Law applies:

F = 1/(4πε₀) · (Q₁Q₂/r²)

You can solve it for r:

r = √[1/(4πε₀) · (Q₁Q₂/F<span>)]

Plugging in numbers:

r = </span>√[1/(4π·8.85×10⁻¹²) · (2.5×10⁻⁶)²/0.50]
= 0.335m

The correct answer is: the two charges are 0.335m apart.

John used smothering as the method to control the harmful invasive plants in his orchard. Smothering is an example of a manual method of control and it works best in a small population of invasive species. Smothering involves covering the invasive species with a barrier that is highly impenetrable for one growing season in order to prevent these species from thriving in the environment.

To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Tensile Strength and Shear Strenght.

In Materials Mechanics, generally the bodies under certain loads are subject to both Tensile and shear strenghts.

By definition we know that the tensile strength is defined as

$\sigma = \frac{F}{A}$
