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 VW beetle goes from zero to 27m/s in 7.6 seconds. What is the acceleration?
Firlakuza [10]
Initial speed(u)=0m/s
Final speed(v)= 27m/s
Time(t)=7.6s
Use the equation of motion: v = u + at
27 = 0 + a(7.6)
27/7.6 = a
a = 3.55 m/s^2  (3 s.f)

A 50kg boy runs at a speed of 10.0m/s and jumpsonto a cart
andriy [413]

Answer:

the mass of the cart is 150 kg

Explanation:

given,

mass of boy(m) = 50 kg

speed of boy (v)= 10 m/s                  

initial velocity of cart (u) = 0                    

final velocity of cart(V) = 2.5 m/s              

mass of the cart(M) = ?                              

m v + M u = (m + M ) V......................(1)

50× 10 + 0 = (50 + M ) 2.5

M =\dfrac{500}{2.5} - 50

M = 150 Kg                                          

hence, the mass of the cart is 150 kg
