Answer: The distance between the charges is r=0.44m

Explanation

Step one

Using the formula

F = (k q1*q2) /r²

F = electric force

k = Coulomb constant

q1, q2 = charges

r = distance of separation

Step two

Given data

F=179N

q1 and q2=+68.0 µC and +56.0 µC

k=8.98755 × 10^9 N

r=?

Step three

Inputting our values we have

179=8.9875×10^9(68*10^-6*56*10^-6)/r²

179=(8.9875*10^9*3.8*10^-9)r²

179=34.15/r²

Make r subject of formula we have

r²=34.15/179

r²=0.190

r= √0.190

r=0.44m

Coulomb's law states that: The magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Answer:  

r  = 0.437m≈0.4m

 

Explanation:

F= \frac{KQq}{r²}

Where K= 8.98755 × 109 N · m2 /C 2

           F=  179 N

           Q= +68.0 µC= 68.0 × 10^{-6}C

           q=  +56.0 µC= 56.0 × 10^{-6}C

           r= ?

To find r, make r the subject of the formula.

F= \frac{KQq}{r²}

r²= \frac{KQq}{F}

r= \sqrt{} \frac{KQq}{F}  

Then input the values,

r  = \sqrt{} \frac{(8.98755 X 10^{9} )(68.0 X 10^{-6} )(56.0 X 10^{-6} ) }{179}

   =  \sqrt{} \frac{34224.5904 X 10^{9-12} }{179}  

  =  \sqrt{191.1988 X 10^{-3}  

  = 0.437m≈0.4m

An object is traveling on a circle with a radius of 6 feet. If in 80 seconds a central angle of 9/4 radians is swept out, then f
trapecia [35]

Answer:

The angular speed of the object is 0.0281 rad/s

The linear speed of the object is 0.169 ft/s

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circle, r = 6 ft

time of motion of the object around the circle, t = 80 s

central angle formed by the object during the motion, θ = 9/4 rad = 2.25 rad

The angular speed of the object is calculated as;

\omega = \frac{\theta }{t} = \frac{2.25 \ rad}{80 \ s} = 0.0281 \ rad/s

The linear speed of the object is calculated as;

v = ωr

v = 0.0281 rad/s   x    6ft

v = 0.169 ft/s

Why is newton's gravitational force called universal gravitational force​
Lelechka [254]
Newton’s law of gravity is considered “universal” because it is believed to be applicable to the entire Universe (to a good approximation). Gravity does not just pull an apple from a tree, but also pulls the Moon to the Earth, the Earth to the Sun, and so on. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature.

An agriculturalist working with Australian pine trees wanted to investigate the relationship between the age and the height of t
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Step 1:

The available regression equation is: Predict height= 0.29 + 0.48 (age).

Here, the predict height is dependent variable and the  age is in-dependent variable.

Intercept = 0.29

Slope      = 0.48

The given regression equation indicates the y on x model and the intercept coefficients of the regression equation is 0.29 and the slope is 0.48.

Step 2:

The height increases, an average, by 0.48 m per year.

Because co-efficient of slope variable indicate the positive sign and we increase 1 year in age then automatically height increased is 0.48 m.

<h3></h3><h3>The height increases, on average, by 0.48 meter each year.</h3>
