You mean Salt, right?

Salt helps remove ice from the roads, making is safer to drive on.

Putting Sand on roads would, if anything, make them even more dangerous.

13.<br>14. Why does a person feel weightlessness during freefall?​
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

When in free fall, the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity - a non-contact force. Since the force of gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces, you would have no sensation of it. You would feel weightless when in a state of free fall.

Two particles, one with charge -5.45 × 10^-6 C and one with charge 4.39 × 10^-6 C, are 0.0209 meters apart. What is the magnitud
Levart [38]

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, q_1=-5.45\times 10^{-6}\ C

Charge 2, q_2=4.39\times 10^{-6}\ C

Distance between charges, r = 0.0209 m

1. The electric force is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

F=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{-5.45\times 10^{-6}\times 4.39\times 10^{-6}}{(0.0209)^2}

F = -492.95 N

2. Distance between two identical charges, r=0.0209\ m

Electric force is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_3^2}{r^2}

q_3=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}

q_3=\sqrt{\dfrac{492.95\times (0.0209)^2}{9\times 10^9}}

q_3=4.89\times 10^{-6}\ C

Hence, this is the required solution.
