Answer:
A. -2.16 * 10^(-5) N
B. 9 * 10^(-7) N
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Distance between their centres, r = 0.3 m
Charge in first sphere, Q1 = 12 * 10^(-9) C
Charge in second sphere, Q2 = -18 * 10^(-9) C
A. Electrostatic force exerted on one sphere by the other is:
F = (k * Q1 * Q2) / r²
F = (9 * 10^9 * 12 * 10^(-9) * -18 * 10^(-9)) / 0.3²
F = -2.16 * 10^(-5) N
B. When they are brought in contact by a wire and are then in equilibrium, it means they have the same final charge. That means if we add the charges of both spheres and divided by two, we'll have the final charge of each sphere:
Q1 + Q2 = 12 * 10^(-9) + (-18 * 10^(-9))
= - 6 * 10^(-9) C
Dividing by two, we have that each sphere has a charge of -3 * 10^(-9) C
Hence the electrostatic force between them is:
F = [9 * 10^9 * (-3 * 10^(-9)) * (-3 * 10^(-9)] / 0.3²
F = 9 * 10^(-7) N
Drawing is an easy way to connect to your inner child
Answer:
Clarify any confusing information in the instructions.
Purchase the equipment and chemicals you will need.
Explanation:
Steps of a scientific investigation include identifying a research question or problem, forming a hypothesis, gathering evidence, analyzing evidence, deciding whether the evidence supports the hypothesis, drawing conclusions, and communicating the results.
Answer:
b) 2ft/s
Explanation:
A scalar has only magintude, not direction
6.2m, 3kg, and -100 o C are all scalars because they only have magnitude.
2ft/s is not a scalar because it has a direction.
