What is the magnitude of the electric force between two point charges with Q1 = -1.5 C and Q2 = 0.8 C at a distance of 1 km?

Answer:

F = -10800 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, $q_1=-1.5\ C$

Charge 2, $q_2=0.8\ C$

Distance between the charges, $d=1\ km=10^3\ m$

We need to find the electric force acting between two point charges. Mathematically, it is given by :

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

$F=-9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{1.5\times 0.8}{(10^3)^2}$

F = -10800 N

So, the magnitude of electric force between two point charges is 10800 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Tubby and his twin brother Libby have a combined mass of 200 kg and are zooming along in a 100 kg amusement park bumper car at 1

harkovskaia [24]

Answer: 14.1 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this with the Conservation of Linear Momentum principle, which states the initial momentum $p_{i}$ (before the elastic collision) must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ (after the elastic collision):

$p_{i}=p_{f}$ (1)

Being:

$p_{i}=m_{1}V_{i} + m_{2}U_{i}$

$p_{f}=m_{1}V_{f} + m_{2}U_{f}$

Where:

$m_{1}=200 kg +100 kg=300 kg$ is the combined mass of Tubby and Libby with the car

$V_{i}=10 m/s$ is the velocity of Tubby and Libby with the car before the collision

$m_{2}=25 kg + 100 kg=125 kg$ is the combined mass of Flubby with its car

$U_{i}=0 m/s$ is the velocity of Flubby with the car before the collision

$V_{f}=4.12 m/s$ is the velocity of Tubby and Libby with the car after the collision

$U_{f}$ is the velocity of Flubby with the car after the collision

So, we have the following:

$m_{1}V_{i} + m_{2}U_{i}=m_{1}V_{f} + m_{2}U_{f}$ (2)

Finding $U_{f}$ :

$U_{f}=\frac{m_{1}(V_{i}-V_{f})}{m_{2}}$ (3)

$U_{f}=\frac{300 kg(10 m/s-4.12 m/s)}{125 kg}$ (4)

Finally:

$U_{f}=14.1 m/s$

The maximum allowable resistance for an underwater cable is one hundredth of an ohm per

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

A = 1.54 x 10⁻⁵ m² = 15.4 mm²

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire can be given by the following formula:

$R = \frac{\rho L}{A}\\\\A = \frac{\rho L}{R} = \frac{\rho}{\frac{R}{L} }$

where,

A = smallest cross-sectional area = ?

ρ = resistivity of copper = 1.54 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm

$\frac{R}{L}$ = resistance per unit length of wire = 0.001 Ω/m

Therefore,

$A = \frac{1.54\ x\ 10^{-8}\ \Omega m}{0.001\ \Omega/m}$

<u>A = 1.54 x 10⁻⁵ m² = 15.4 mm²</u>

A simple pendulum is 1.15 meters long and has a period of 6.29 seconds. The pendulum is on an unknown planet. What is the accele

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The value of the acceleration of gravity of the Unknown Planet = 1.14 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Explanation:

length of the pendulum (L)= 1.15 m

Time period (T)= 6.29 seconds

We know that time period of a simple pendulum is given by

⇒ T = 2 $\pi$ × $\sqrt\frac{L}{g}$

put the values in the above formula we get

⇒ T = 2 $\pi$ × $\sqrt \frac{1.15}{g}$

⇒ 6.29 = 2 $\pi$ × $\sqrt \frac{1.15}{g}$

By solving the above equation we get

⇒ g = 1.14 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

This is the value of the acceleration of gravity of the Unknown Planet.
