<h3>Answer:</h3>

49 N

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

Mass of the brick as 3 kg
The coefficient of friction as 0.6

We are required to determine the force that must be applied by the woman so the brick does not fall.

We need to importantly note that;
For the brick not to fall the, the force due to gravity is equal to the friction force acting on the brick.

That is; Friction force = Mg

But; Friction force = μ F

Therefore;

μ F = mg

0.6 F = 3 × 9.8

0.6 F = 29.4

F = 49 N

Therefore, she must use a force of 49 N

A Submerged Ball Part A A ball of mass mb and volume V is lowered on a string into a fluid of density Pi (Figure 1) Assume that

frozen [14]

Answer:

T = mg - $\rho_f$ ×V×g

Explanation:

Here we have the mass of the ball is given as $m_b$

The density of the fluid = $\rho_f$

The volume of the ball = V

Acceleration due to gravity = g

According to Archimedes's principle, the upthrust = Weight of fluid displaced

Tension in string = T = weight of ball - upthrust

T = mg - $\rho_f$ ×V×g

How will the electrostatic force between two electric charges change if the first charge is doubled and the second charge is onl

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

B) $\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

The electric force between charges can be determined by;

F = $\frac{kq_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2} }$

Where: F is the force, k is the Coulomb's constant, $q_{1}$ is the value of the first charge, $q_{2}$ is the value of the second charge, r is the distance between the centers of the charges.

Let the original charge be represented by q, so that;

$q_{1}$ = 2q

$q_{2}$ = $\frac{q}{3}$

So that,

F = $q_{1}$ $q_{2}$ x $\frac{k}{r^{2} }$

= 2q x $\frac{q}{3}$ x $\frac{k}{r^{2} }$

= $\frac{2q^{2} }{3}$ x $\frac{k}{r^{2} }$

= $\frac{2}{3}$ x $\frac{kq}{r^{2} }$

F = $\frac{2}{3}$ x $\frac{kq}{r^{2} }$

The electric force between the given charges would change by $\frac{2}{3}$ .
