In an experiment , which variable do you change

A negative charge of 20 x 10-6C and another charge of 15 x 10-6C are separated by as distance of 0.7 m.

Answer:

Approximately $5.5\; \rm N$ , assuming that the volume of these two charged objects is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume that the dimensions of these two charged objects is much smaller than the distance between them. Hence, Coulomb's Law would give a good estimate of the electrostatic force between these two objects regardless of their exact shapes.

Let $q_1$ and $q_2$ denote the magnitude of two point charges (where the volume of both charged object is negligible.) In this question, $q_1 = 20 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C$ and $q_2 = 15 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C$ .

Let $r$ denote the distance between these two point charges. In this question, $r = 0.7\; \rm m$ .

Let $k$ denote the Coulomb constant. In standard units, $k \approx 8.98755\times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2}$ .

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force (electric force) between these two point charges would be:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}$ .

Substitute in the values and evaluate:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\\ &\approx 8.98755 \times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2} \\ &\quad \times 20\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C\\ &\quad \times 15\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C \\ &\quad \times \frac{1}{{(0.7\; \rm m)}^{2}}\\ &\approx 5.5\; \rm N \end{aligned}$ .

Dams are made wider at the bottom than at the top?

malfutka [58]

Yes dams are made wider at the bottom because the pressure of the water pressure is greater there

A golf ball is struck at ground level. The speed of the golf ball as a function of the time is shown in Figure 4-36, where t = 0

lana66690 [7]

In your question where as a golf ball is struck at a ground level and the speed of the ball as a function of time is in the figure where time t=0 and va = 16m/s and vb=32m/s. The following is the answer:
a) How far does the golf ball travel horizontally before returning to ground level?
-<span>80m</span>
<span>(b) What is the maximum height above ground level attained by the ball?
</span>-39.87m

How much energy will it take to increase the temperature of 200 milliliters if water by 12 degrees Celsius?

AleksandrR [38]

Answer: The specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 Joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). This means that it takes 4,200 J to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C. Lead will warm up and cool down fastest because it doesn't take much energy to change its temperature.
