Answer: 1.04N
Explanation:
Given
q1 = 2*10^-6C
q2 = 3.6*10^-6C
r = 0.25m
k = 9*10^9
Magnitude of electrostatic force can be calculated by using coulomb's law. Coulomb's law states that, "the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them."
F =(kq1q2) / r²
F = (9*10^9 * 2*10^-6 * 3.6*10^-6) / 0.25²
F = 0.0648/0.0625
F = 1.04N
The type of electrostatic force between the charges is the repulsive force
Answer:
-20000 kgm/s
Explanation:
Impulse: This can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and its change in velocity. The S.I unit of impulse is kgm/s.
Mathematically, impulse can be expressed as
I = m(v-u).............. Equation 1.
Where I = impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest, m = mass of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, v = final velocity of the car.
Given: m = 1000 kg, u = 20 m/s, v = 0 m/s ( to rest)
Substitute into equation 1
I = 100(0-20)
I = 1000(-20)
I = -20000 kgm/s
Hence the impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest = -20000 kgm/s
