Answer:
<em>The magnitude of the force is 10 N</em>
Explanation:
<u>Coulomb's Law</u>
The electrostatic force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.
Written as a formula:
Where:
q1, q2 = the objects' charge
d= The distance between the objects
We have two identical charges of q1=q2=1 c separated by d=30000 m, thus the magnitude of the force is:
F = 10 N
The magnitude of the force is 10 N
Answer:
The first part can be solved via conservation of energy.
For the second part,
the free body diagram of the car should be as follows:
- weight in the downwards direction
- normal force of the track to the car in the downwards direction
The total force should be equal to the centripetal force by Newton's Second Law.
where because we are looking for the case where the car loses contact.
Now we know the minimum velocity that the car should have. Using the energy conservation found in the first part, we can calculate the minimum height.
Explanation:
The point that might confuse you in this question is the direction of the normal force at the top of the loop.
We usually use the normal force opposite to the weight. However, normal force is the force that the road exerts on us. Imagine that the car goes through the loop very very fast. Its tires will feel a great amount of normal force, if its velocity is quite high. By the same logic, if its velocity is too low, it might not feel a normal force at all, which means losing contact with the track.
