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

If two conductors are not touching but are close to each other, a large enough voltage will cause an _________________ to occur
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Electrical breakdown.

Explanation:

When two conductors are relatively close enough, and have a very large voltage between them, it can lead to a Dielectric breakdown. A dielectric breakdown occurs when an insulator is subjected to a high enough voltage, suddenly becomes an electrical conductor and electric current flows through it. The air between the conductors is the insulator that breaks down, leading to an electrical discharge arc to flow between the two conductors. This electrical breakdown can cause catastrophic failure of electrical equipment, and fire hazards.

Two 20.0 g ice cubes at − 20.0 ∘ C are placed into 285 g of water at 25.0 ∘ C. Assuming no energy is transferred to or from the
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Ft = 17.48°C

Explanation:

Ft is the final temperature. However, ice absorbs heat during two process of melting and cooling and as such, there is no loss of heat to or from the surrounding hence by conservation of energy.

Therefore,

Heat absorbed by water of 20g = heat rejected by water of 265g.

So; M(ice)[C(ice) [(ΔT) + LH(ice) + C(water)(ΔT)] = C(water) M(water) (ΔT)

So, 20[(2.108) [0 - (-20)] + 333.5 + 4.187(Ft - 0)]] = (285)(4.187) (25 - Ft)

To get;

7513 + 83.74 Ft = 29832.4 - 1193.3 Ft

So factorizing, we get;

83.74 Ft + 1193.3 Ft = 29832.4 - 7513

So; 1277.04 Ft = 22319.4

So; Ft = 22319.4/1277.04 = 17.48°C

A spacecraft at rest has moment of inertia of 100 kg-m^2 about an axis of interest. If a 1 newton thruster with a 1 meter moment
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

18 radians

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Torque = Force × Moment arm

= 1N × 1M

= 1N-M

Torque = I\alpha

\alpha = \frac{torque}{I}\\\\= \frac{1}{100}\\\\= 0.01 rad/s^2

Now

\theta = w_ot + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2\\\\w_o = 0\\\\\theta = 0 \times 60 + \frac{1}{2} \times 0.01 \times 60^2\\\\= 18\ radians

Here t = 1 minutes = 60 seconds

How much power does it take to lift 70.0 N to 5.0 m high in 5.00 s?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Power = 70 W

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 70 N

Height, h = 5 m

Time, t = 5 s

We need to find the power of the object. We know that,

Power = work done/time

Put all the values,

P=\dfrac{Fd}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{70\times 5}{5}\\\\P=70\ W

So, the required power is 70 W.
