itude of the force (in N) on the test charge?
(b) What is the direction of this force (away from or toward the +6 µC charge)?

Answer:

(a) Magnitude: 14.4 N

(b) Away from the +6 µC charge

Explanation:

As the test charge has the same sign, the force that the other charges exert on it will be a repulsive force. The magnitude of each of the forces will be:

F_e = K\frac{qq_{test}}{r^2}

K is the Coulomb constant equal to 9*10^9 N*m^2/C^2, q and qtest is the charge of the particles, and r is the distance between the particles.

Let's say that a force that goes toward the +6 µC charge is positive, then:

F_e_1 = K\frac{q_1q_{test}}{r^2}=-9*10^9 \frac{Nm^2}{C^2} \frac{6*10^{-6}C*4*10^{-6}C}{(0.1m)^2} =-21.6 N

F_e_2 = K\frac{q_2q_{test}}{r^2}=9*10^9 \frac{Nm^2}{C^2} \frac{2*10^{-6}C*4*10^{-6}C}{(0.1m)^2} =7.2 N

The magnitude will be:

F_e = -21.6 + 7.2 = -14.4 N, away from the +6 µC charge

Which of the following criteria can help Linda classify gases as greenhouse gases? gas molecules having three or more atoms gas
ratelena [41]
I think the correct answer would be the third  option. The criteria that could help Linda in classifying whether the gases are greenhouse gases would be gas molecules having at least one oxygen atom. Most of the greenhouse gases has an oxygen atom in their structures especially those that naturally occurs. These gases are CO2, H2O vapor and nitrous oxide.

An object of 4 kg has a speed of 6 m/s and moves a distance of 8 m. What is its kinetic energy in joules.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Ke = 72 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy depends on the speed of and object and its mass.

Data

mass = m = 4 kg

speed = v = 6 m/s

distance = d =  8 m

Kinetic energy = ke = ?

Formula

Ke = (1/2) mv²

Substitution

Ke = (1/2) (4)(6)²

Simplification

Ke = (1/2)(4)(36)

Ke = (1/2)(144)

Ke = 72 Joules

Result

Ke = 72 J

Two movers use a rope system to lift a box to a third-story apartment. They do 1,200 J of work on the rope system, and the rope
xeze [42]
Efficiency is defined as the measure of the amount of work or energy is conserved in a certain process. At all times, in every process, work or energy is always lost or wasted due to certain interference. Not all work given is converted to useful work or energy. Thus , efficiency is calculated by dividing the energy or work output to the energy or work input then the value is multiplied by 100 to express efficiency as percentage.

Efficiency = work output / work input
Efficiency = (1020 J / 1200 J) = 85%

A billiard ball of mass m hits another one of the same mass. The first ball moves off at 30 degrees. For an elastic collision wh
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

v₁ = u₁/2√3 ≈ 0.866u₁

v₂ = u₁/2      = 0.5u₁

θ = 60°

Explanation:

let u₁ be the initial velocity of the first ball

let v₁ be the final velocity of the first ball

let v₂ be the final velocity of the second ball

For elastic collisions, the angle between the departing masses is 90°

assume the first ball initially moves along the x axis in the positive direction

conservation of momentum

In the y direction, initial momentum is zero

After the collision

mv₁sin30 = mv₂sin60

½v₁ = ½√(3)v₂

v₁ = √(3)v₂

in the x direction,

mu₁ = mv₁cos30 + mv₂cos-60

u₁ = v₁cos30 + v₂cos60

u₁ = (√(3)v₂)½√(3) + ½v₂

u₁ = 2v₂

v₂ = u₁/2

v₁ = √(3)v₂ = √(3)(u₁/2)
