Answer:

-11776.36 N

This force is attractive since both charges are of opposite sign

Explanation:

Given that

q_1=-18.4\mu C=-18.4\times 10^{-6}C\ and\\\ q_2=53\mu C=53\times 10^{-6}C

Distance between the spheres = 2.73 cm =0.0273 m

where K is Coulomb's constant = 9.10^ 9 [N.m^2 /C^2]

According to coulombs law we know that force between two charges is given by

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

F = \frac{(9\times10^9)\times (-18.4 \times 10^-^6)(53  \times 10^-^6}{0.0273^2)} \\= -11776.36N

This force is attractive since both charges are of opposite sign

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

θ = sin⁻¹\sqrt{2gd}

Explanation:

From one of the equations of motion, v² = u² + 2as.......... equation 1

Since the object thrown was moving against gravity, then the acceleration, a would change to -g and the initial velocity u would change to V₀ sin θ because the object is travelling at angle of θ to the horizontal. By inputting all these parameter into equation 1, we would arrive at:

v² = (u sin θ)² - 2gd

(u sin θ)² = 2gd

d = (u sin θ)²/2g

sin² θ = 2gd

sin θ = \sqrt{2gd}

θ = sin⁻¹ \sqrt{2gd}

Which of the following is quantitative data? a. Color c. Shape b. Odor d. Volume
Papessa [141]
Hello there! Quantitive data has to do with measurements that can be shown with numbers. Examples of this are things like your height and the length of your arms. With that alone, A and B are eliminated, because those answer choices make no sense. They can't be expressed by numbers and you can't measure colors or odors mathematically. Volume is a way to measure something that CAN be written down by numbers. D is the only answer choice that fits the definition of quantitive data. The answer is D: volume.

Cole is riding a sled with initial speed of 5 m/s from west to east. the frictional force of 50 n exists due west. the mass of t
stepan [7]
We can calculate the acceleration of Cole due to friction using Newton's second law of motion:
F=ma
where F=-50 N is the frictional force (with a negative sign, since the force acts against the direction of motion) and m=100 kg is the mass of Cole and the sled. By rearranging the equation, we find
a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{-50 N}{100 kg}=-0.5 m/s^2

Now we can use the following formula to calculate the distance covered by Cole and the sled before stopping:
a= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2d}
where
v_f=0 is the final speed of the sled
v_i=5 m/s is the initial speed
d is the distance covered

By rearranging the equation, we find d:
d= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2a}= \frac{-(5 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot (-0.5 m/s^2)}=25 m
