Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory.

Explanation:

  • Similarities

1) The resultant force is along the line that joins both charges or both masses (assuming both objects can be represented as points)

2) Both type of forces obey  Newton's 3rd law.

3) Both are proportional to the product of the property that is affected by the force (charges and masses)

4) Both obey an inverse - square law (consequence of our universe being three-dimensional)

  • Differences

1) Main difference, is that while the gravitational force is always attractive, the electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive, as there are two types of charges, which attract each other being of different type, and repel each other if they are of the same type.

2) It  is possible, artificially, to block the influence of the electrostatic force, shielding a room, for instance, which is not possible for the gravitational force.

What is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy depends on the velocity of the object squared. This means that when the velocity of an object doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples.

What is the magnitude of the momentum change of two gallons of water (inertia about 7.3 kg ) as it comes to a stop in a bathtub
aliya0001 [1]

We know that the change in momentum is equals to the product of force and time that is impulse (  F \times t). Therefore, we need to determine the value of that the water is in air by using the second equation of motion,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Here, u is initial velocity which is zero.

s= \frac{1}{2} gt^2 \\\\ t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }.

Thus, impulse

= F \times \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }

From Newton`s second law,

F =mg

Therefore, impulse

= mg \times \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} } = m \sqrt{2gs}

Given,  m = 7.3 kg and s = 2.0 m

Substituting these values, we get

Change in momentum = impulse  

= 7.3 \ kg \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times 2.0 \ m } = 45 .7 \ Ns.
