Answer:

Explanation:

correct options

a ) Their electrical potential energy keeps decreasing

Actually as they move apart , their electrical potential energy decreases due to increase of distance between them and kinetic energy increases

so a ) option is correct

b ) Their acceleration keeps decreasing

As they move apart , their mutual force of repulsion decreases due to increase of distance between them so the acceleration decreases .

c ) c. Their kinetic energy keeps increasing

Their kinetic energy increases because their electrical potential energy decreases . Conservation of energy law will apply .

Two 0.50 g spheres are charged equally and placed 2.5 cm apart. When released, they begin to accelerate at 170 m/s^2 .What is th
vitfil [10]

Answer:

q=7.65*10^{-8}C

Explanation:

Using Newton's second law, we calculate the magnitude of the electric force between the spheres:

F=ma\\F=0.5*10^{-3}kg(170\frac{m}{s^2})\\F=0.085N

The magnitude of the charge in both spheres is the same. So, we calculate the charge, using Coulomb's law:

F=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}\\q=\sqrt\frac{Fd^2}{k}\\q=\sqrt\frac{(0.085N)(2.5*10^{-2}m)^2}{8.99*10^9\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}\\q=7.65*10^{-8}C

A 5kg ball is on top of the school building at a height of 40m above the ground.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A-Caclcuate the potential energy of the ball at that height

Explanation:

(a). Mass of the Body = 10 kg.

Height = 10 m.

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Using the Formula,Potential Energy = mgh

= 10 × 9.8 × 10 = 980 J.

(b). Now, By the law of the conservation of the Energy, Total amount of the energy of the system remains constant.

∴ Kinetic Energy before the body reaches the ground is equal to the Potential Energy at the height of 10 m.

∴ Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

(c). Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

Mass of the ball = 10 kg.

∵ K.E. = 1/2 × mv²

∴ 980 = 1/2 × 10 × v²

∴ v² = 980/5

⇒ v² = 196

∴ v = 14 m/s.

Why is the force of gravity on your body weaker on the Moon than on the Earth?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The moon’s gravity is weaker than the earth gravity due to the smaller in size as compared to the earth. As there is no atmosphere present on the moon gravity, so there are fewer chances of withstanding temperature.

A student has the following equipment - copper wire, nail made of iron,a battery, paperclips.
Anna11 [10]
Taking the copper wire, he has to wind it around the nail made of iron. After which, he then connect both ends of the copper wire to the battery, so an electric charge travels through the wire. This is the basic electromagnet. Since a current is now flowing through the wire, a magnetic field is produced. Placing the electromagnet near the mixture of copper and iron, the magnet should attract the pieces of iron, as iron is more magnetic compared to copper. This is done over a period of time, so that only the copper pieces are left in the mixture.

À A car moves with an initial velocity of 18 m/s due north. Find the velocity of the car after 7 Os if
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

(a) v_f=28.5m/s

(b) v_f=7.5m/s

Explanation:

Hello.

(a) In this case since the car is moving at an initial velocity of 18 m/s due north, the final velocity is computed considering the acceleration as positive since it is due north as well:

v_f=v_0+at=18m/s+1.5m/s^2*7s\\\\v_f=28.5m/s

(b) In this case, since the car is moving due north by the acceleration is due south it is undergoing a slowing down process, thereby the acceleration is negative therefore the final velocity turns out:

v_f=v_0+at=18m/s-1.5m/s^2*7s\\\\v_f=7.5m/s

Best regards.
