Answer:

0.247 μC

Explanation:

As both sphere will be at the same level at wquilibrium, the direction of the electric force will be on the x axis. As you can see in the picture below, the x component of the tension of the string of any of the spheres should be equal to the electric force of repulsion. And its y component will be equal to the weight of one sphere. We can use trigonometry to find the components of the tensions:

F_y:  T_y - W = 0\\T_y = m*g = 0.002 kg *9.81m/s^2 = 0.01962 N

T_y = T_*cos(50)\\T = \frac{T_y}{cos(50)} = 0.0305 N

T_x = T*sin(50) = 0.0234 N

The electric force is given by the expression:

F = k*\frac{q_1*q_2}{r^2}

In equilibrium, the distance between the spheres will be equal to 2 times the length of the string times sin(50):

r = 2*L*sin(50) = 2 * 0.1m * sin(50) 0.1532 m

And k is the coulomb constan equal to 9 *10^9 N*m^2/C^2. q1 y q2 is the charge of each particle, in this case, they are equal.

F_x = T_x - F_e = 0\\T_x = F_e = k*\frac{q^2}{r^2}

q = \sqrt{T_x *\frac{r^2}{k}} = \sqrt{0.0234 N * \frac{(0.1532m)^2}{9*10^9 N*m^2/C^2} } = 2.4704 * 10^-7 C

Two ropes are attached to a 40-kg object. The first rope applies a force of 50 N and the second, 40 N. If the two ropes are perp
Montano1993 [528]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to the resulting Vector Force product of two components, that is,

|\vec{F}| = \sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}

If we take the Force of 50 N as the force in the X direction and the Force of 40 N in the Y direction we will have to:

|\vec{F}| = \sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}

|\vec{F}| = \sqrt{(50)^2+(40)^2}

|\vec{F}| = 64.03N

Finally, since Newton's second law, acceleration can be determined as

F = ma

a = \frac{F}{m}

a = \frac{ 64.03}{40}

a = 1.6m/s^2

Therefore the resultant magnitude of the acceleration of the object is 1.6m/s^2

A 69-kg student sitting on a hardwood floor does not slide until pulled by a 260-N horizontal force. find coefficient of frictio
salantis [7]

Answer:

μ = 0.385

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the student, m = 69 Kg

The horizontal force applied, F = 260 N

The normal force acting on the body, weight = mg = 69g  N

                                                                                    = 676.2 N

The coefficient of friction acting on a body is equal to the force acting on the body to the normal force acting on the body due to gravitation.

The formula for coefficient of friction,

                                    μ =  F / N

Substituting the values in the above equation,

                                     μ = 260 N / 676.2 N

                                        = 0.385

Hence, the  coefficient of friction, μ = 0.385

Suppose that in a lightning flash the potential difference between a cloud and the ground is 1.3×109 V and the quantity of charg
Georgia [21]

Answer:

A) ΔU = 3.9 × 10^(10) J

B) v = 8420.75 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Potential Difference; V = 1.3 × 10^(9) V

Charge; Q = 30 C

A) Formula for change in energy of transferred charge is given as;

ΔU = QV

Plugging in the relevant values gives;

ΔU = 30 × 1.3 × 10^(9)

ΔU = 3.9 × 10^(10) J

B) We are told that this energy gotten above is used to accelerate a 1100 kg car from rest.

This means that the initial potential energy will be equal to the final kinetic energy since all the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy.

Thus;

P.E = K.E

ΔU = ½mv²

Where v is final velocity.

Plugging in the relevant values;

3.9 × 10^(10) = ½ × 1100 × v²

v² = [7.8 × 10^(8)]/11

v² = 70909090.9090909

v = √70909090.9090909

v = 8420.75 m/s
