Answer:
The answer to your question is distance between these electrons
= 1.386 x 10⁻¹⁴ m
Explanation:
Data
Force = F = 1.2 N
distance = d = ?
charge = q₁ = q₂ = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
K = 8.987 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²
Formula
-To solve this problem use the Coulomb's equation
F = kq₁q₂ / r²
-Solve for r²
r² = kq₁q₂ / F
-Substitution
r² = (8.987 x 10⁹)(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹) / 1.2
- Simplification
r² = 2.306 x 10⁻²⁸ / 1.2
r² = 1.922 x 10⁻²⁸
-Result
r = 1.386 x 10⁻¹⁴ m
(a) 907.5 N/m
The force applied to the spring is equal to the weight of the object suspended on it, so:

The spring obeys Hook's law:

where k is the spring constant and
is the stretching of the spring. Since we know
, we can re-arrange the equation to find the spring constant:

(b) 1.45 cm
In this second case, the force applied to the spring will be different, since the weight of the new object is different:

So, by applying Hook's law again, we can find the new stretching of the spring (using the value of the spring constant that we found in the previous part):

(c) 3.5 J
The amount of work that must be done to stretch the string by a distance
is equal to the elastic potential energy stored by the spring, given by:

Substituting k=907.5 N/m and
, we find the amount of work that must be done:

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)
Speed = (1,000 meters / 8.6 minutes) x (1 minute / 60 seconds) = 1.94 m/s

They're extremely small, occupying a very small volume, to the point where something like wind resistance that we think about with accelerating large objects like planes becomes completely irrelevant. A rogue electron can fly straight through most solid objects through the "empty space" between atoms. Their mass is also extremely small, 9.1*10⁻³¹ kg, making them relatively easy to accelerate to near light speeds (in comparison to other forms of matter) as it takes very little energy to set them into motion. Particle accelerators accelerate electrons to 99% of the speed of light in the real world every day.
