Answer:

$F=1.26*10^{-3}N$

Explanation:

Assuming the pith balls as point charges, we can calculate the repulsive force between them, using Coulomb's law:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

We observe that the magnitude of the electric force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both signed charges( $q_1,q_2$ ) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d) that separates them.

Replacing the given values, where k is the Coulomb constant:

$F=\frac{8.99*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}(-30*10^{-9}C)(-30*10^{-9}C)}{(8*10^{-2}m)^2}\\F=1.26*10^{-3}N$

The answer is destructive interference. You have this for both C and D. I suspect one of C or D is supposed to be constructive interference... But destructive interference is the answer

Heather and Matthew walk with an average velocity of 0.98 m/s eastward. If it takes them 34 min to walk to the store, what is th

TEA [102]

Answer:

D= 1999.2 m

Explanation:

Given that

Average velocity ,v= 0.98 m/s

time ,t= 34 min

We know that

1 min = 60 s

That is why

t= 34 x 60 =2040 s

We know that

Displacement = Average velocity x time

D= v t

Now by putting the values in the above equation

D= 0.98 x 2040 m

D= 1999.2 m (eastward)

The direction of the displacement will be towards eastward.

That is why the displacement will be 1999.2 m or we can say that 1.9992 km.

What is the mass of the other block?

xeze [42]

Let us consider the tension produced on both the sides of the rope is T.

We have been given that the rope is mass less and the rope is passing through a pulley which is stationary.

$Let\ m_{1} and\ m_{2}\ are\ the\ masses\ of\ two\ blocks$

$Let\ m_{1}\ is\ moving\ in\ vertical\ upward\ direction\ while\ m_{2}\ is\ in\ downward\ \ direction$

$Hence\ m_{2} =4.5\ kg$

The body is moving downward with an acceleration of $\frac{3}{4} g$

As the rope is the same one which is passing over a mass less pulley and connected by two masses,hence, acceleration of each block will be the same in magnitude.

$For\ body\ m_{1}$

Here the tension is acting in vertical upward direction and the weight is acting in vertical downward direction. Here,the body is moving in vertical upward direction. Hence, the net force acting on it is-

$T-m_{1} g=m_{1}a$ [1]

$For\ body\ m_{2}$

Here the tension is acting in vertical upward direction while weight is in vertical downward direction. The body is moving in downward direction. Hence the net force acting on it will be-

$m_{2} g-T=m_{2} a$ [2]
