Two 1.0 kg masses are 1.0 m apart (center to center) on a frictionless table. Each has a +10μC of charge. a) What is the magnitu

de of the electric force on one of the masses? b) What is the initial acceleration of one of the masses if it is released and allowed to move?

Answer:

(a). The electric force is 0.9 N.

(b). The acceleration is 0.9 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 1.0 kg

Distance = 1.0 m

Charge = 10 μC

(a). We need to calculate the electric force

Using formula of electric force

F = \dfrac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^2}

Put the value into the formula

F=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times10\times10^{-6}\times10\times10^{-6}}{1.0^2}

F=0.9\ N

(b). We need to calculate the acceleration

Using newton's second law

F = ma

a =\dfrac{F}{m}

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{0.9}{1.0}

a=0.9\ m/s^2

Hence, (a). The electric force is 0.9 N.

(b). The acceleration is 0.9 m/s²

A train moving at a constant speed on a surface inclined upward at 10.0° with the horizontal travels a distance of 400 meters in
Amiraneli [1.4K]
If the velocity of the train is v=s/t, where s is the distance and t is time, then v=400/5=80m/s. To get the vertical component of the velocity we need to multiply the velocity v with a sin(α): Vv=v*sin(α), where Vv is the vertical component of the velocity and α is the angle with the horizontal. So:

Vv=80*sin(10)=80*0.1736=13.888 m/s. 

So the vertical component of the velocity of the train is Vv=13.888 m/s.

How are meteors and meteorites different?
konstantin123 [22]

A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. "Meteor" refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself.

If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.

6. One minute after takeoff, a rocket carrying the space shuttle into outer space reaches a speed of 447 m/s.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

acceleration of the rocket is given as

a = 7.45 m/s^2

Explanation:

As we know that rocket starts from rest and then reach to final speed of 447 m/s after t = 1 min

so we have

v_i = 0

v_f = 447 m/s

t = 1 min = 60 s

so we have

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = \frac{447 - 0}{60}

a = 7.45 m/s^2
