To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Electrostatic Force given by Coulomb's law. This force can be mathematically described as
Here
k = Coulomb's Constant
Charge of each object
d = Distance
Our values are given as,
d = 1 m
a) The electric force on charge is
Force is positive i.e. repulsive
b) As the force exerted on will be equal to that act on
,
Force is positive i.e. repulsive
c) If , a negative sign will be introduced into the expression above i.e.
Force is negative i.e. attractive
Answer:
We conclude that the mass of a rock with a force of 500 N and an acceleration of 75 m/s² is 6.7 kg.
Hence, option D is correct.
Explanation:
Given
- Force F = 500 N
- Acceleration a = 75 m/s²
To determine
Mass m = ?
Important Tip:
- The mass of a rock can be found using the formula F = ma
Using the formula
where
- F is the force (N)
- m is the mass (kg)
- a is the acceleration (m/s²)
now substituting F = 500, and a = 75 m/s² in the formula
switch sides
Divide both sides by 75
simplify
kg
Therefore, we conclude that the mass of a rock with a force of 500 N and an acceleration of 75 m/s² is 6.7 kg.
Hence, option D is correct.
