Answer:

(a) the force is 8.876 N

(b) the magnitude of each charge is 4.085 μC

Explanation:

Part (a)

Given;

coulomb's constant, K = 8.99 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

distance between two charges, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

force between the two charges, F = 15 N

when the distance between the charges changes to 13 cm (0.13 m)

force between the two charges, F = ?

Apply Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\let \ Kq_1q_2 = C\\\\F =\frac{C}{r^2} \\\\C = Fr^2\\\\F_1r_1^2 = F_2r_2^2\\\\F_2 =\frac{F_1r_1^2}{r_2^2} \\\\F_2 = \frac{15*0.1^2}{0.13^2} \\\\F_2 = 8.876 \ N

Part (b)

the magnitude of each charge, if they have equal magnitude

F = \frac{KQ^2}{r^2}

where;

F is the force between the charges

K is Coulomb's constant

Q is the charge

r is the distance between the charges

F = \frac{KQ^2}{r^2} \\\\Q = \sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{K} } \\\\Q =  \sqrt{\frac{15*(0.1)^2}{8.99*10^9} } = 4.085 *10^{-6} \ C\\\\Q = 4.085 \ \mu C

Paul lifts a sack weighing 245 newtons vertically from the ground and places it on a platform at a height of 0.7 meters. If he t
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

B. 17.15 watts

Explanation:

Given that

Time = 10 seconds

height = distance = 0.7 meters

weight of sack = mg = F = 245 newtons

Power = work done/ time taken

Where work done = force × distance

Substituting the given parameters into the formula

Work done = 245 newton × 0.7 meters

Work done = 171.5 J

Recall,

Power = work done/time

Power = 171.5 J ÷ 10

Power = 17.15 watts

Hence the power expended is B. 17.15 watts

PLEASE HELP!!!! The displacement vectors A and B, when added together, give the resultant vector R, so that R = A + B. Use the d
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Ax = 0

Ay = 6 m

Bx = 8 cos phi = cos 34 = 6.63 m

By = 8 sin phi = 8 sin (-34) = -4.47 m

Rx = Ax + Bx = 0 + 6.63 = 6.63 m

Ry = Ay + By = 6 - 4.47 = 1.53 m

R = (6.63^2 + 1.53^2)^1/2 = 6.80 m

tan theta = Ry / Rx = 1.53 / 6.8 = ,225

theta = 12.7 deg

A neutron star is moving in outer space at 4,000 km/hr. What happened to the star that set it in motion on it's current course?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

d

a balanced force acted on it and propelled it to 4,000 km/hr

Explanation:

For the neutrons star which is moving in outer space at 4,000 km/hr, it could only be possible as a result of the balanced force which had already acted on it. <em>This is based on newton's law of motion which states that 'To every action, there is equal and opposite reaction'. </em>
