Answer: 4.8 s
Explanation:
We have the following data:
the mass of the raft
the force applied by Sawyer
the raft's final speed
the raft's initial speed (assuming it starts from rest)
We have to find the time
Well, according to Newton's second law of motion we have:
(1)
Where is the acceleration, which can be expressed as:
(2)
Substituting (2) in (1):
(3)
Where
Isolating from (3):
(4)
Finally:
Answer:
A. 181.24 N
Explanation:
The magnitude of hte electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by the equation
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1, q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges
r is the separation between the charges
In this problem, we have:
is the magnitude of the 1st charge
is the magnitude of the 2nd charge
r = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m is the separation between the charges
Therefore, the magnitude of the electric force is:
So, the closest answer is
A) 181.24 N
