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

velikii [3]

Correct answer choice is:

D. A frequency higher than the original frequency.

Explanation:

This is a true case of Doppler's effect. The Doppler effect can be defined as the effect originated by a traveling source of waves in which there is a visible higher variation in pulse for observers towards what the source is progressing and a visible descending shift in rate for observers from what the source is dropping.

A 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Momentum after collision will be 6000 kgm/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the whale = 1000

Initial velocity v = 6 m/sec

It collides with other mass of 200 kg which is at stationary

Initial momentum of the whale = 1000×6 = 6000 kgm/sec

We have to find the momentum after collision

From conservation of momentum

Initial momentum = final momentum

So final momentum = 6000 kgm/sec

A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 115 kg and a radius of 2.50 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.520 rev
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

W_f = 2.319 rad/s

Explanation:

For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum.

L_i = L_f

so:

I_mW_m = I_sW_f

where I_m is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, W_m is the initial angular velocity of the merry-go-round, I_s is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round and the child together and W_f is the final angular velocity.

First, we will find the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round using:

I = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(115 kg)(2.5m)^2

I = 359.375 kg*m^2

Where M_m is the mass and R is the radio of the merry-go-round

Second, we will change the initial angular velocity to rad/s as:

W = 0.520*2\pi rad/s

W = 3.2672 rad/s

Third, we will find the moment of inertia of both after the collision:

I_s = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2+mR^2

I_s = \frac{1}{2}(115kg)(2.5m)^2+(23.5kg)(2.5m)^2

I_s = 506.25kg*m^2

Finally we replace all the data:

(359.375)(3.2672) = (506.25)W_f

Solving for W_f:

W_f = 2.319 rad/s
