A small metal sphere has a mass of 0.11 g and a charge of -21.0 nC . It is 10 cm directly above an identical sphere with the sam

e charge. This lower sphere is fixed and cannot move.
Part A: What is the magnitude of the force between the spheres?
Part: B: If the upper sphere is released, it will begin to fall. What is the magnitude of its initial acceleration?

Answer:

A. the magnitude of the force between the spheres is 3.97 x 10⁻⁴ N

B. the magnitude of its initial acceleration is 5.83 m/s²

Explanation:

given information:

metal sphere's mass, m = 0.1 g = 1 x 10⁻⁴ kg

charge, q = -21 nC = -2.1 x 10⁻⁸

r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

What is the magnitude of the force between the spheres?

F₁₂ = k q₁q₂/r²

     = ( 9 x 10⁹) (-2.1 x 10⁻⁸)²/(0.1)²

     = 3.97 x 10⁻⁴ N

If the upper sphere is released, it will begin to fall. What is the magnitude of its initial acceleration?

mg - F₁₂ = ma

a = g - (F₁₂/m)

   = 9.8 - (3.97 x 10⁻⁴/1 x 10⁻⁴)

   = 5.83 m/s²

A student is bicycling north along Main Street to school. Another student is timing the bicycling student in order to determine
MatroZZZ [7]

The average velocity is -4.17 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity of a body is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement of the body

t is the time elapsed

For the student in this problem, we have:

Initial position: x_i = 450 m

Final position: x_f = 200 m

So the displacement is

d=x_f -x_i = 200 - 450 = -250 m

The time elapsed is

t = 60 s

Therefore, the average velocity is

v=\frac{-250}{60}=-4.17 m/s

Where the negative sign means the student is moving towards the origin.

Why is it safe to watch an eclipse of the Moon but not an eclipse of the Sun
gavmur [86]
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon crosses in front of the Sun, blocking some or all of its rays. A lunar eclipse happens when the moon is directly behind the earth, blocking the moon from receiving light. The only light comes from the light on earth's reflected shadow.

You can look at a lunar eclipse because there is very little light or none at all. You can't look at a solar eclipse because you are looking directly at the sun unless it is complete. Before totality, only some of the Sun is blocked, causing your pupils dilate to let in more light. Since they do this, more of the Sun's rays can be let in to the eye, which effectively allows your eyes to burn. 

Some doctors and eye care specialists say that after someone complains of blindness after looking at a solar eclipse unaided, they can see what the Sun and moon looked like at the time that they looked at it, as it is burned onto their retinas.

Lab: newton's laws of motion assignment: lab report
poizon [28]

Newton's motion laws state that if an object is at rest or in movement, it will tend to maintain its basal state.

<h3>What are Newton's motion laws?</h3>

Newton's motion laws are a set of scientific statements aimed at explaining the physical property of movement.

These laws explain why objects in movement tend to maintain the same velocity for a short period of time.

In conclusion, Newton's motion laws state that if an object is at rest or in movement, it will tend to maintain its basal state.

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Using the given values

F = K q^2 / r^2 = 9 * 10E9 * (1.6 * E-19)^2 / (5.18 * E-15)^2 N

E = 9 * 1.6^2 / 5.18^2 * 10 = 8.5 N
