Common transparent tape becomes charged when pulled from a dispenser. If one piece is placed above another, the repulsive force

can be great enough to support the top piece's weight. Assuming equal point charges (only an approximation), calculate the magnitude of the charge if electrostatic force is great enough to support the weight of a 15.7 mg piece of tape held 0.72 cm above another. (The magnitude of this charge is consistent with what is typical of static electricity.)

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the equal charges be Q .

Force between charges = k Q² / R where R is distance between charges , k = 9 x 10⁹.

Putting the charges

Force F = 9 x 10⁹ x Q² /( .72 x 10⁻²)²

= 17.36 x 10¹³ Q² N

This force equals weight so

17.36 x 10¹³ Q² = 15.7 x 10⁻³

Q² = .90 x 10⁻¹⁶

Q = .95 x 10⁻⁸

= 9.5 x 10⁻⁹

= 9.5 nC.

What is the velocity (in m/s) of a 550 kg roller coaster cart at the bottom of the track if it started with 990,000 J of gravita
sesenic [268]

Answer:

60m/s

Explanation:

initial energy = final energy

g.p.e = k.e

k.e = 0.5 × mass × velocity²

g.p.e = 990000J as per Question

990000Nm = 0.5 × 550 × V²

V² = 3600

V = 60m/s

Why is friction useful between your feet and the ground?
mixer [17]

Answer:

It allows you to walk faster.

Explanation:  

It is the same force that allows you to accelerate forward when you run. Your planted foot can grip the ground and push backward, which causes the ground to push forward on your foot. We call this grip type of friction, where the surfaces are prevented from slipping across each other, a static frictional force.

The nuclear fuel distribution in a nuclear reactor is chosen so that when in operation the wall temperature of the reactor is a
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

We Often solve the the integral neutron transport equation using the collision probability (CP) method which usually requires flat flux (FF) approach. In this research, it has been carried out in the cylindrical nuclear fuel cell with the spatial of mesh with quadratic flux approach. This simply means that the neutron flux at any region of the nuclear fuel cell is forced to follow the pattern of a quadratic function.

Furthermore The mechanism may be referred to as the process of non-flat flux (NFF) approach. The parameters that calculated in this study are the k-eff and the distribution of neutron flux. The result shows that all parameters are in accordance with the result of SRAC.

Use Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation to calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force between a 200 kg refrigerator an
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

From newton' s law of universal gravitation,

F = Gmm'/r² .............................. Equation 1

Where F = Gravitational force between the person and the refrigerator, m = mass of the person, m' = mass of the refrigerator, r = distance between the person and the refrigerator. G = gravitational universal constant.

Given: m = 70 kg, m' = 200 kg, r = 0.5 m

Constant: G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg².

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹×70×200)/0.5²

F = 93380×10⁻¹¹/0.25

F = 373520×10⁻¹¹

F = 3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Hence the force between the person and the refrigerator =  3.735×10⁻⁶ N
