Can anyone please help me with answering this question? : An accelerating (speeding up) body has a Net Force acting in the direc
1 answer:
That's true.
Netwon's second law states that the resultant of the forces F acting on a body is equal to the product between its mass m and its acceleration a:
This means that if the net force acting on an object is different from zero (term on the left), than the acceleration of the object (term on the right) must be different from zero as well, and therefore the body is accelerating.
In particular, both F and a in the equation are vectors: this means that if the acceleration is positive, F and a have the same direction. In this problem, the acceleration is positive (because the object is speeding up), therefore the force and the acceleration have same direction.

Answer:
question5: F=74312.5N
question6: charge at the end of antenna=0.37N
Explanation:
Coulomb's law: the magnitude of the force of attraction or repulsion due to two charges is proportional to the product of the magnitude of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the charges.
⇒
∴
where is the force of attraction or repulsion
is Coulumb's constant=
and
are the magnitude of the charges
is the distance between two charges
The force between the two charges is attractive if they are of different polarity
The force between the two charges is repulsive if they are of same polarity
Question5:
Given: q1=0.041 C, q2=0.029 C, r=12 m
therefore by Coulumb's law,
Question6:
Given: q1=, r=5 m, F=
therefore by Coulumb's law,
⇒
