What is the equation for calculating the electrical force, Fe, between two charges?

1 answer:

4 0

When 2 electric charges are place close to each other they experience a force between them. This force may be repulsive or attractive depending on the type of charges involved.

The magnitude of this force depend on the quantity of individual charges and the distance between them.

The force is defined by the Coulomb's law states that: The magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The formula for calculating the force between 2 electric charges is ;

F = (kq₁q₂)/d²

Where k is the proportionality constant known as Coulomb's constant,

q₁ and q₂ are the charges and

d is the distance between q₁ and q₂.

An elevator filled with passengers has a mass of 1603 kg. (a) The elevator accelerates upward from rest at a rate of 1.20 m/s2 f

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

T = 17649.03 N = 17.65 KN

Explanation:

The tension in the cable must be equal to the apparent weight of the passenger. For upward acceleration:

$T = W_A = m(g+a)\\$

where,

T = Tension in cable = ?

$W_A$ = Apparent weight

m = mass = 1603 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = acceleration of elevator = 1.2 m/s²

Therefore,

$T = (1603\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2+1.2\ m/s^2)\\\\$

T = 17649.03 N = 17.65 KN

A 1300 kg car moving at 20 m/s and a 900 kg car moving at 15 m/s in precisely oppositedirections participate in a head-on crash.

miskamm [114]

Given

Car 1

m1 = 1300 kg

v1 = 20 m/s

m2 = 900 kg

v2 = -15 m/s

(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)

Procedure

As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

$\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \\ v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2} \\ v=\frac{1300\operatorname{kg}\cdot20m/s-900\operatorname{kg}\cdot15m/s}{1300\operatorname{kg}+900\operatorname{kg}} \\ v=5.681m/s \end{gathered}$

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.

ioda

Answer:

Acceleration = 4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 8 N

Mass = 2 kg

To find the acceleration of the block;

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

$Acceleration = \frac {Net \; force}{mass}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$Acceleration = \frac {8}{2}$

Acceleration = 4 m/s²

PLZ HELP! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST OR WHATEVER U PPL WANT JUST HELP!

Tpy6a [65]

Newton's first law is sometimes known as the law of inertia. It is the law that states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts upon it. For example, if I was working with a wrench in space an it slipped, it would keep on going in one direction with a constant speed unless it hits something. Hope this helps!
