Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter B. A repulsive force of 8.0 x 10³N

Explanation:

Data

Charge 1 = -2.0 x 10² C

Charge 2 = -4.0 x 10⁻⁸ C

K (Coulomb constant) = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

distance = 3 m

Formula

F = K (q₁ x q₂) / r²

Substitution

F = 9 x 10⁹ (-2.0 x 10²)(-4.0 x 10⁻⁸) / 3²

Simplification

F = 9 x 10⁹ (0.000008) / 9

F = 72000 / 9

Result

F = 8000 C = 8 x 10³ N

Conclusion

As both spheres are negative the force is negative with magnitude 8x 10³N

A stone is dropped from a cliff and falls 9.44 meters. What is the speed of the stone when it reaches the ground?

Lunna [17]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

height of the drop of stone = 9.44 m

speed of the stone = ?

As the stone is dropped the energy of the stone will be conserved.

using conservation of energy.

Potential energy = Kinetic energy

$m g h = \dfrac{1}{2} m v^2$

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

$v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 9.44}$

$v = \sqrt{185.024}$

v = 13.60 m/s

Hence, the correct answer is option A

An open train car moves with speed 18.5 m/s on a flat frictionless railroad track, with no engine pulling the car. It begins to

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The speed decreases.

Explanation:

This can be explained using the conservation of linear momentum.

Since there is no friction, the initial moment of the train must be equal to its linear moment after it is filled with water.

the initial linear momentum is

$m_{1}v_{1}$

where $m_{1}$ is the initial mass of the train, and $v_{1}$ the initial speed of the train.

And linear momentum after the water filled the train car is

$m_{2}v_{2}$

where $m_{2}$ is mass of the train after the rain, and $v_{2}$ the speed of the train after the rain

<u>the equality must be fulfilled:</u>

$m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}$

We know that if water is added to the train, $m_{2}$ that is the mass after the water is added, is greater than $m_{1}$ which is the mass of the train without the water.

Therefore, in order for the conservation of the linear momentum to be fulfilled: $m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}$

the speed after the water is added ( $v_{2}$ ) must be smaller than the initial train speed ( $v_{1}$ ) . So the speed of the car decreases.

Regions in the milky way where density waves have caused gas clouds to crash into each other are called clumps.Clumps are molecular clouds (interstellar clouds) with higher density,where lots of dust and gs cores resides. These clouds are the beginning of stars.

How much work is done when a 214 newton force pushes a sleeping cow 37m across a field.

nata0808 [166]

Hello!

Answer:
7918 J

Explanation:

We are assuming that the floor (field) is completely horizontal since there's no information about that in the statement.

We are going to use the following formula:

$W= F . Cos \alpha . D$

Where:

$F=214 N$
$\alpha =0$ º
$D= 37m$

Then, by substituting we have:

$W=214N . Cos (0).37m= 7918 N.m=7918 J$
