bazaltina [42]3 years ago

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.

imagine a horse pulling a cart. What would happen to the speed of the cart if several bags of cement were adding to the cart?
iogann1982 [59]
Assuming the power delivered by the horse does not change, the speed of the cart will decrease.
In fact, the power delivered by the horse is the work done by the horse (W) per unit time (t):
P=\frac{W}{t}
<span>If several bags are added to the cart, the horse must do more work to transport them. Therefore, W in the fraction increases. But if the power P of the horse is constant, then it means that the time t must increase as well. So, the horse will take more time to transport the car, and this means that the speed of the cart has decreased.</span>

Motion equation of object is
Ganezh [65]

Take the derivative to find the velocity of the object:

v=\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}=-12+6t

The object stops when v=0:

-12+6t=0\implies6t=12\implies t=2

so the answer is E.

A 4.3 kg steel ball and 6.5 m cord of negligible mass make up a simple pendulum that can pivot without friction about the point
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer

given,

mass of steel ball, M = 4.3 kg

length of the chord, L = 6.5 m

mass of the block, m = 4.3 Kg

coefficient of friction, μ = 0.9

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

here the potential energy of the bob is converted into kinetic energy

m g L = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2

v= \sqrt{2gL}

v= \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 6.5}

      v = 11.29 m/s

As the collision is elastic the velocity of the block is same as that of bob.

now,

work done by the friction force = kinetic energy of the block

f . d = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2

\mu m g. d = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2

d=\dfrac{v^2}{2\mu g}

d=\dfrac{11.29^2}{2\times 0.9 \times 9.8}

    d = 7.23 m

the distance traveled by the block will be equal to 7.23 m.

What pressure will 14. 0 g of co exert in a 3. 5 l container at 75°c?
Ronch [10]

The pressure will 14. 0 g of co exert in a 3. 5 l container at 75°c is 4.1atm.

Therefore, option A is correct option.

Given,

Mass m = 14g

Volume= 3.5L

Temperature T= 75+273 = 348 K

Molar mass of CO = 28g/mol

Universal gas constant R= 0.082057L

Number of moles in 14 g of CO is

n= mass/ molar mass

= 14/28

= 0.5 mol

As we know that

PV= nRT

P × 3.5 = 0.5 × 0.082057 × 348

P × 3.5 = 14.277

P = 14.277/3.5

P = 4.0794 atm

P = 4.1 atm.

Thus we concluded that the pressure will 14. 0 g of co exert in a 3. 5 l container at 75°c is 4.1atm.
