Answer:

5 N

Explanation:

F_1 = 20 N

r_1 = 6 cm

r_2 = 12 cm

k = Coulomb constat

q = Charge

\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2}}{\dfrac{kq_2q_2}{r_2^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{12^2}{6^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=4\\\Rightarrow F_2=\dfrac{F_1}{4}\\\Rightarrow F_2=\dfrac{20}{4}\\\Rightarrow F_2=5\ N

The force is 5 N

A 15g bullet is fired horizontally into a 3kg block of wood suspended by a long cord. Assume that the bullet remains in the bloc
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

261.3 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of bullet=m=15 g=\frac{15}{1000}=0.015 kg

1 kg=1000g

Mass of block=M=3 kg

d=0.086 m

Total mass =M+m=3+0.015=3.015 kg

K.E at the time strike=Gravitational potential energy at the end of swing

\frac{1}{2}(m+M)^2V^2=(m+M)gh

Using g=9.8m/s^2

Substitute the values

\frac{1}{2}(3.015)V^2=3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086

V^2=\frac{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}{3.015}

V=\sqrt{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}}

V=1.3m/s

Velocity after collision=V=1.3 m/s

Velocity of block=v'=0

Using conservation law of momentum

mv+Mv'=(m+M)V

Using the formula

0.015v+3(0)=3.015(1.3)

0.015v=3.015(1.3)

v^2=\frac{3.015(1.3)}{0.015}=261.3

v=261.3 m/s

Which part of a river would have animals with very muscular bodies and adaptations that let survive in turbulent water? Source z
lidiya [134]
The part of a river that would have animals with muscular bodies and adaptations that let survive in turbulent water is in the transition zone, the mid-transition zone to be precise. Water at the source zone possesses a lot of potential energy and as it flows from the upper reaches the potential energy is turned into kinetic energy when the course of the river begins to gradually level out and this translates into increase in velocity. By the time river water reaches the middle of the transition zone, most of the potential energy would have been turned into kinetic energy and thus water velocity would be quite high here. Animals living here would develop muscles because of constantly fighting against the strong current to avoid being swept downstream.

How do the forces on a skydiver affect the velocity of the skydiver as they fall?<br><br><br> Hellp
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Explanation:

As a skydiver falls, he accelerates downwards, gaining speed with each second. The increase in speed is accompanied by an increase in air resistance. This force of air resistance counters the force of gravity.
