1) First of all, we need to find the distance between the two charges. Their distance on the xy plane is
d= \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}
substituting the coordinates of the two charges, we get
d= \sqrt{(3.5+2)^2+(0.5-1.5)^2}=5.6~cm=0.056~m

2) Then, we can calculate the electrostatic force between the two charges q_1 and q_2, which is given by
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}
where k_e=8.99\cdot10^{9} Nm^2C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant.
Substituting numbers, we get 
F=8.99\cdot10^{9} Nm^2C^{-2}  \frac{(3.3\cdot10^{-6}~C) (-4\cdot10^{-6}~C)}{(0.056~m)^2} =-37.8~N
and the negative sign means the force between the two charges is attractive, because the two charges have opposite sign.

(1 pt) A bucket of water of mass 20 kg is pulled at constant velocity up to a platform 35 meters above the ground. This takes 14
Elenna [48]

Answer:

w = 5832.372 Joules

Explanation:

Mass of water, m = 20 kg

The water was pulled up to a height of 35 meters, i.e. h = 35 m

It takes 14 minutes to pull up the water through the height, 35 m

speed = distance/ time = 35/14 = 2.5 m/min

The bucket's height, y = speed * time = 2.5t meters

6 kg of water drips out of the bucket throughout the 14 minutes

The rate at which the water drips drips out = (6/14) = 0.4286 kg/min

Mass of water that drips out in time, t = 0.4286t kg

The mass of water remaining = (20 - 0.4286t) kg

Change in Workdone, Δw = mgΔy

Δy = 2.5 Δt

Δw = mg *  2.5 Δt

dw =  (20 - 0.4286t)g2.5 dt

integrating both sides

dw = (50g - 1.07gt)dt

w = \int\limits^a_b {(50g-1.07gt)} \, dx where b = 0, a = 14

w = 50gt - 1.07g(t²)/2      g = 9.8 m/s²

w = 490t - 5.243t²

w = (490*14 - 5.243*14²) - (490*0 - 5.243*0²)

w = 6860 - 1027.628

w = 5832.372 Joules

You push a coin across a table. The coin stops. How does this motion relate to balanced and unbalanced forces?
Snezhnost [94]
If you are pushing the coin across the table at a constant rate, the friction of the table and the horizontal force of your hand pushing are equal, and the coin itself moves at a constant rate. If you push a coin and let it go, there is no horizontal force keeping the coin going. Friction slows the coin to a stop. In both cases, the gravitational downward pull of Earth is equally but oppositely resisted by the upward push of table on the coin.

A 90kg person jumps from a 30m tower into a tub of water with a volume of 5m3 initially at 20°C. Assuming that all of the work d
Kryger [21]

Answer:

T₂ = 20.06 ° C

Explanation:

Given

P = 90 kg,  T₁ = 20 ° C,  h = 30 m,  c = 1.82 kJ / Kg * ° C

Using the formula to determine the final temperature of the water

T₂ = T₁ * P * h / Eₐ * c

The work done of the person to the water

Eₐ = 1000 kg / m³ * 5 m³ * 9.8 m / s²

Eₐ = 49000 N

T₂ = 20 ° C +[ (90 kg * 30m) / (49000 N * 1.82) ]

T₂ = 20.06 ° C
