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

A 5 kg mass is oscillating on a spring with a time period of 2.8 seconds. What is the spring constant k of the spring?
katrin [286]

Answer:

<em>k = 25.18 N/m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Simple Harmonic Oscillator</u>

It consists of a weight attached to one end of a spring being allowed to move forth and back.

If m is the mass of the weight and k is the constant of the spring, the period of the oscillation is given by:

\displaystyle T=2\pi {\sqrt {\frac {m}{k}}}

If the period is known, we can find the value of the constant by solving for k:

\displaystyle k=m\left(\frac{2\pi}{T}\right)^2

Substituting the given values m=5 Kg and T=2.8 seconds:

\displaystyle k=5 \left(\frac{2\pi}{2.8}\right)^2

k = 25.18 N/m

An engine converts 95% of its energy to mechanical. What happens to the other 5% of its energy?
Elza [17]

Answer:

Here, 5% of energy wasted as a heat lost or work done against frictional forces.

Explanation:

No engine has yet made that can convert its all input energy into mechanical energy. Some of the input energy goes in vain in the form of heat and friction.

Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by is 4.0 second
Anit [1.1K]
The amplitude of a wave can be obtained by measuring the distance from the resting position of the wave to its crest. The resting position is half of the distance from the crest to the trough. Given that the distance between the crest and the trough is 3 meters, the amplitude should be half of that, which is 1.5 meters.
