Answer: 16N

Explanation:

According to coulombs law which states that the force of attraction between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Mathematically,

F = kq1q2/r²

If two charges that are separated by one meter exert 1-N forces on each other, the equation will become

1 = kq1q2/1²

kq1q2 = 1 ... (1)

If the charges are pushed together so the separation is 25 centimeters, the force between them becomes,

F = kq1q2/0.25² (25cm converted to meters)

0.0625F = kq1q2 ... (2)

Dividing equation 1 by 2 to determine the force F on each charges, it becomes;

1/0.0625F = kq1q2/kq1q2

1/0.0625F = 1

0.0625F = 1

F = 1/0.0625

F= 16N

Two​ high-speed ferries leave at the same time from a city to go to the same island. The first​ ferry, the​ Cat, travels a
kumpel [21]

Answer:

1 hour

Explanation:

Since the definition of velocity is v=x/t, we can calculate the position at time t of an object moving at speed v with x=vt.

The position of the first ferry is x_1=v_1t

The position of the second ferry is x_2=v_2t

We want to know when they will be 6 miles apart. This means, if we call that distance d, that we want to know when the difference between their positions will be d, or x_1-x_2=d (we know that at the beginning the position of the ferry 1 is of higher value than that of ferry 2 since it left before).

We use our previous formulas then:

d=x_1-x_2=v_1t-v_2t=(v_1-v_2)t

Since we want the time, we do:

t=\frac{d}{v_1-v_2}

And substitute our values:

t=\frac{6\ miles}{30\ miles/hour-24\ miles/hour}=\frac{6\ miles}{6\ miles/hour} =1\ hour

cluponka [151]

Answer:

• riding on a Ferris wheel whose entrance and exit are the same

• walking around the block, starting from and ending at the same house

• running exactly one lap around a racetrack

Explanation:

Displacement simply means the.change in position of an object. In a situation whereby the initial and final position are thesame, the displacement will be zero.

The statements that describe a situation with a displacement of zero include:

• riding on a Ferris wheel whose entrance and exit are the same

• walking around the block, starting from and ending at the same house

• running exactly one lap around a racetrack

A 1055-kg van, stopped at a traffic light, is hit directly in the rear by a 660-kg car traveling with a velocity of 2.00 m/s. As
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

<h3>0.77m/s</h3>

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of energy

m1u1 + m2 u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses of the bodies

u1 and u2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity after collision

Substitute the given values into the formula

1055(0) + 660(2) = (1055+660)v

0+1320 = 1715v

v = 1320/1715

v = 0.77m/s

Hence the final velocity of each vehicle is 0.77m/s
