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.

A blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V. The current rating of the blow-dryer is 13 A, while that

Feliz [49]

Answer:

(a) 1560 W

(b) 576 W

Explanation:

Voltage, V = 120 V

Current in dryer, I = 13 A

current in vacuum cleaner, i' = 4.8 A

(a) Power consumed by dryer,

P = V I = 120 x 13 = 1560 W

(b) Power consumed by vacuum cleaner

P' = V I' = 120 x 4.8 = 576 W

E = P x t = 1560 x 15 x 60 = 1404000 J

Energy consumed by the vacuum cleaner

E' = P' x t' = 576 x 40 x 60 = 1382400 J

the ratio of energies is

E : E' = 1404000 : 1382400 = 1.01

A fence 8 ft high (w) runs parallel to a tall building and is 24 ft (d) from it. Find the length (L) of the shortest ladder t

AveGali [126]

Answer:

25.3 ft

Explanation:

The illustration of the problem is shown the attached image.

The length of the ladder can be calculated using the Pythagoras theorem:

$Hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + adjacent^2$

The hypotenuse is the length of the ladder.

$Hypotenuse = \sqrt{opposite^2 + adjacent^2}$

$L^2 = BC^2 + (24 + AE)^2$ ........1

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle AEF, hence:

$\frac{BC}{8} = \frac{AE + 24}{AE}$

BC = $\frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE}$ .................2

Substitute 2 into 1

$L^2$ = $(\frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE})^2$ + $(24 + AE)^2$

Let AE = x

$L^2$ = $(\frac{8x + 192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2$

= $(8 + \frac{192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2$

Minimize L with respect to x.

2 $\frac{dL}{dx}$ = $2(8 + \frac{192}{x})(-\frac{192}{x^2}) + 2(24 + x)$
