It is B. false that an instrument used to detect a static electric charge is called an ammeter. It is actually called an electroscope. Ammeter measures current.

b. false

An ammeter is used to measure current, not static electric charge.

Particle q1 has a positive 6 µc charge. particle q2 has a positive 2 µc charge. they are located 0.1 meters apart. recall that k

(a) Force between the two charges

The electrostatic force between the two charges is given by:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, r their separation.

In this problem:

$q_1 =6 \mu C=6 \cdot 10^{-6}C$

$q_2=2 \mu C=2 \cdot 10^{-6}C$

$r=0.1 m$

Substituting into the equation, we find

$F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(6 \cdot 10^{-6}C)(2 \cdot 10^{-6}C)}{(0.1 m)^2}=10.8 N$

(b) direction of particle q2

Particle q2 wants to move in the direction of the force acting on it. The direction of the force depends on the relative sign of the two charges: like charges attract each other, opposite charges repel each other. In this case, the two charges are both positive, so they repel each other and q2 tends to move away from particle q1.

A ski lift carries a 75.0-kg skier at 3.00 m/s for 1.50 min along a cable that is inclined at an angle of 40.0° above the horizo

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer

given,

mass of the ski = 75 Kg

speed of the skier, v = 3 m/s

time = 1.50 min = 90 s

angle of inclination, θ = 40°

distance = s x t

= 3 x 90 = 270 m

a) W = F. d cos θ

W = mg. d cos θ

W = 75 x 9.8 x 270 x cos 40°

W = 152021.52 J

work is done by the ski lift is equal to 152021.52 J

b) Power extended by the ski

$Power = \dfrac{Work\ done}{time}$

$Power = \dfrac{152021.52}{90}$

P = 1689.13 Watt.

power is expended by the ski lift is equal to 1689.13 W.

Hybrid

Hybrid modified the concept by adding an internal combustion engine and marketing hybrids that were part electric and part gas powered.

The driving wheels of hybrid vehicles receive power from their drivetrains.
A hybrid car has numerous sources of propulsion.
There are numerous hybrid configurations.
A hybrid vehicle might, for instance, get its energy from burning gasoline while alternating between an electric motor and a combustion engine.
Although they have primarily been employed for rail locomotives, electrical vehicles have a long history of integrating internal combustion and electrical transmission, like in a diesel-electric power-train.
Because the electric drive transmission directly substitutes the mechanical gearbox rather than serving as an additional source of motive power, a diesel-electric powertrain does not meet the definition of a hybrid.
Only the electric/ICE hybrid car type was readily accessible on the market as of 2017.
One type used parallel operation to power both motors at the same time.
Another ran in series, using one source to supply power solely and the other to supply electricity.
Either source may act as the main driving force, with the other source serving to strengthen the main.
