In a thundercloud there may be an electric charge of 24 C near the top of the cloud and −24 C near the bottom of the cloud. If t

hese charges are separated by about 2 km, what is the magnitude of the electric force between these two sets of charges? The value of the electric force constant is 8.98755 × 109 N · m2 /C 2 .

Answer:

Electric force, $F=1.29\times 10^6\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, $q_1=24\ C$

Charge 2, $q_2=-24\ C$

Distance between charges, d = 2 km

The electric force is given by :

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

k is the electrostatic constant

$F=8.98755\times 10^9\times \dfrac{(24)^2}{(2\times 10^3)^2}$

F = 1294207.2 N

or

$F=1.29\times 10^6\ N$

Hence, this is the required solution.

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 55.0 cm. She finds the pendulum m

forsale [732]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity will be $g=5.718m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given length of pendulum l = 55 cm = 0.55 m

It is given that pendulum completed 100 swings in 145 sec

So time taken by pendulum for 1 swing $=\frac{145}{100}=1.45sec$

We have to find the acceleration due to gravity at that point

We know that time period of pendulum;um is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

So $1.45=2\times 3.14\times \sqrt{\frac{0.55}{g}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{0.55}{g}}=0.230$

Squaring both side

${\frac{0.3025}{g}}=0.0529$

$g=5.718m/sec^2$

So acceleration due to gravity will be $g=5.718m/sec^2$

Answer:

The impulse transferred to the nail is 0.01 kg*m/s.

Explanation:

The impulse (J) transferred to the nail can be found using the following equation:

$J = \Delta p = p_{f} - p_{i}$

Where:

$p_{f}$ : is the final momentum

$p_{i}$ : is the initial momentum

The initial momentum is given by:

$p_{i} = m_{1}v_{1_{i}} + m_{2}v_{2_{i}}$

Where 1 is for the hammer and 2 is for the nail.

Since the hammer is moving down (in the negative direction):

$v_{1_{i}} = -10 m/s$

And because the nail is not moving:

$v_{2_{i}}= 0$

$p_{i} = m_{1}v_{1_{i}} = 0.25 kg*(-10 m/s) = -2.5 kg*m/s$

Now, the final momentum can be found taking into account that the hammer remains in contact with the nail during and after the blow:

$p_{f} = m_{1}v_{1_{f}} + m_{2}v_{2_{f}}$

Since the hammer and the nail are moving in the negative direction:

$v_{1_{f}}$ = $v_{2_{f}}$ = -9.7 m/s

$p_{f} = -9.7 m/s(7 \cdot 10^{-3} kg + 0.25 kg) = -2.49 kg*m/s$

Finally, the impulse is:

$J = p_{f} - p_{i} = - 2.49 kg*m/s + 2.50 kg*m/s = 0.01 kg*m/s$

Therefore, the impulse transferred to the nail is 0.01 kg*m/s.

I hope it helps you!
