Answer:

The force between charges is $F= 2.624*10^3N$ .

Explanation:

The Coulomb force $F$ between the two charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated by distance $d$ is given by the equation

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

where $k$ is the coulombs constant, and has the value

$k= 9*10^9N\cdot C\cdot m^2$ .

Now in our case

$q_1=q_2=27\mu C =27*10^{-6}C$

and

$d= 5cm =0.05m$ ,

therefore, the Coulomb force between the charges is

$F =( 9*10^9N\cdot C\cdot m^2)*\dfrac{(27*10^{-6}C)(27*10^{-6}C)}{(0.05m)^2}$

$\boxed{ F= 2.624*10^3N}$

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of conservation of energy, for which we have to preserve the initial kinetic energy as elastic potential energy at the end of the movement. If said equality is maintained then we can affirm that,

$\text{Initial Energy}=\text{Final Energy}$

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2=\frac{1}{2} kx^2$

Here,

m = mass

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

v = Velocity

Rearranging to find the velocity,

$mv^2 = kx^2$

$v^2 = \frac{kx^2}{m}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}}$

Our values are,

$m = 5.22*10^4kg$

$k = 4.58*10^5N/m$

$x = 32cm = 0.32m$

Replacing our values we have,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(4.58*10^5)(5.22*10^4)}{0.32}}$

$v = 2.733*10^5m/s$

Therefore the velocity is $2.733*10^5m/s$

Answer:

Q = 1057.5 [cal]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of thermal energy.

$Q=m*C_{p}*(T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where:

Q = heat energy [cal]

Cp = specific heat = 0.47 [cal/g*°C]

T_final = final temperature = 32 [°C]

T_initial = initial temperature = 27 [°C]

m = mass of the substance = 450 [g]

Now replacing:

$Q=450*0.47*(32-27)\\Q=1057.5[cal]$
