N asteroid of mass 58,000 kg carrying a negative charge of 15 μc is 180 m from a second asteroid of mass 52,000 kg carrying a ne

gative charge of 11 μc. what is the magnitude of the net force the asteroids exert upon each other, assuming we can treat them as point particles? (g = 6.67 × 10-11 n • m2/kg2, k = 1/4 πε0 = 8.99 × 109 n • m2/c2)

For this problem, we use the Coulomb's Law. The working equation is written below:

F = kQ₁Q₂/d²
where 
F is the electric force
k is a constant equal to 8.99 × 10⁹ N • m²/C²
Q is the charges for the two objects
d is he distance between the objects

Substituting the values,
F = (8.99 × 10⁹ N • m²/C²)(-15×10⁻⁶ C)(-11×10⁻⁶ C)/(180²)
F = 4.578×10⁻⁵ N

Next, we determine the gravitational force using the Law of Universal Gravitation:

F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where
F is the gravitational force
G is a constant equal to 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N • m²/kg²
m is the masses of the objects
d is the distance between the objects

F = (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N • m²/kg²)(58,000 kg)(52,000 kg)/(180²)
F = 6.2089×10⁻⁶ N

The sum of the two forces equal the net force:
Net force = 4.578×10⁻⁵ N + 6.2089×10⁻⁶ N = 1.079×10⁻⁵ N

Answer: The net force between the the asteroids will -3.9492\times 10^{-5} N and the negative sign indicates that they repel each other.

Explanation:

The Coulombs forces exerted by asteroids:

Charge on asteroid-1 = Q_1=-15 \mu C=-15\times 10^{-6} C

Charge on asteroid-2 = Q_1=-11 \mu C=-11\times 10^{-6} C

Distance between the asteroids = 180 m

k=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon _o}=8.99\times 10^9 N m^2/c^2

F_c=k\times \frac{Q_1\times Q_2}{r^2}=8.99\times 10^9 N m^2/c^2\times \frac{-15\times 10^{-6} C\times -11\times 10^{-6} C}{(180 m)^2}=4.57\times 10^{-5} N

Since, the charges are negative they will repel each other.

The gravitational force between the asteroids:

Mass of the asteroid -1 = m_1 = 58000 kg

Mass of the asteroid -2 = m_1 = 52000 kg

G = 6.67\times 10^{-11}N m^2/kg^2

F_G=G\times \frac{m_1\times m_2}{r^2}=6.67\times 10^{-11}N m^2/kg^2\times \frac{58,000 kg\times 52000 kg}{(180 m)^2}=6.208\times 10^{-6} N

The gravitational force is an attractive force.

Since, the charges are negatively charged they will repel each other.

The net force = F=F_G+(-F_C)=6.208\times 10^{-6} N+(-4.57\times 10^{-5} N)=-3.9492\times 10^{-5} N

Hence, the net force between the the asteroids will -3.9492\times 10^{-5} N and the negative sign indicates that they repel each other.

Why you cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance. What problem you may face if you use it
Stells [14]

The problem you would encounter is measuring the height of two different people, a tall one and a short one, and getting the same answer for both of them.

No matter WHAT we're hearing out of the White House these days, you CAN'T bend and stretch your standard measuring devices, or any other 'facts', to make them fit the thing that you're measuring.  This does not work.  You're always entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.

A spotlight on a boat is y = 2.2 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is x = 8.5 m horizontally di
slava [35]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The distance d, which locates the point where the light strikes the bottom is   29.345 m from the spotlight.

Explanation:

To solve the question we note that Snell's law states that

The product of the incident index and the sine of the angle of incident is equal to the product of the refractive index and the sine of the angle of refraction

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂

y = 2.2 m and strikes at x = 8.5 m, therefore tanθ₁ = 2.2/8.5 = 0.259 and

θ₁ =  14.511 °

n₁ = 1.0003 = refractive index of air

n₂ = 1.33 = refractive index of water

Therefore sinθ₂ =  \frac{n_1sin\theta_1}{n_2}  = \frac{1.003*0.251}{1.33} = 0.1885 and θ₂ = 10.86 °

Since the water depth is 4.0 m we have tanθ₂ = \frac{4}{x_2} or x₂ = \frac{4}{tan\theta_2 } =\frac{4}{tan(10.86)} = 20.845 m

d = x₂ + 8.5 = 20.845 m + 8.5 m = 29.345 m.

Name arleady three types of energy associated with a microwave
Elena L [17]
I'm pretty sure what you are trying to ask for is radiative energy, light energy, and electronic energy
<span>Radiative since the microwave is releasing radiation </span>
<span>Light since there is light inside the microwave.</span>
Electronic since it is plugged in and uses electricity.
<span>You can also use sound, but I don't think every microwave makes sound. </span>

9,10,and11 please I want the answer I can't found it
Ede4ka [16]
Q9. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.

Q10. A moving object's momentum depends on the object's mass and velocity.

Q11. I believe it would be air resistance. The fluid friction that opposes the motion of object's through the air.
