Answer: Force = 81 N

Explanation:

from Columbs law,

F = k(q1*q2)/r²

k = 9 x 10^9 Nm²/C²

F = (9 x 10^9)x (0.9x10^-5 x 2.5x10^-4)/(0.5)²

F = 81 Newtons

How do determine which is Y2, Y1, X2, and X1 on a graph. <br><br> And how do find rise over run.

fredd [130]

One point will be X1,Y1 and the other will be X2,Y2. It does not matter which is which except that X1 and Y1 have to be the same point and X2 and Y2 have to be the same point. For example, let's say you were given (2,3) and (6,8). No matter which point is X1,Y1 and the other is X2,Y2, the slope will still be 5/4.

The rise is the change in y from one point to the other. The run would be the change in x from one point to the other.

Determine the number of ways to throw two die and get the number 11, as well as the probability of getting 11.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

1/18

Explanation:

The number of ways in which two die can be thrown is the sample space of the experiment

(1,1), (1,2) (1,3), (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1), (2,2) (2,3), (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1), (3,2) (3,3), (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1), (4,2) (4,3), (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1), (5,2) (5,3), (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1), (6,2) (6,3), (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

From here it can be seen that there are only two cases where the sum on the two die is 11 i.e., (6,5) and (5,6)

$\text{Probability of getting 11}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\\\Rightarrow \text{Probability of getting 11}=\frac{2}{36}\\\Rightarrow \text{Probability of getting 11}=\frac{1}{18}=0.056$

∴ Probability of getting 11 is<u> 1/18</u>

A wire perpendicular to the screen carries a current into the screen (away from you). What is the direction of the magnetic fiel

Llana [10]

Answer:

The direction is downwards. This answer to this question is found from the applicatikn of flemings right hand rule. This rule uses the thumb, index finger and the middle finger in the direction of current force and the magnetic field.

A 2.8-kg cart is rolling along a frictionless, horizontal track towards a 1.2-kg cart that is held initially at rest. The carts

agasfer [191]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of one cart, $m_1=2.8 kg$

Mass of second cart, $m_2=1.2 kg$

Initial velocity of one cart, $u_1=4.6m/s$

Initial velocity of second cart, $u_2=-2.7 m/s$

a.Total momentum, $P=m_1u_1+m_2u_2=2.8(4.6)+1.2(-2.7)$

$P=9.64 kgm/s$

b.Velocity of second cart, $v_2$ =0

According to law of conservation of momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum

$9.64=2.8v_1+1.2\times 0$

$v_1=\frac{9.64}{2.8}$

$v_1=3.44m/s$
