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

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The density of the sample is 36 g/cm³

Explanation:

m= 972g

l=3cm

V = l³ = 3³ = 27 cm³

density = mass/volume

= 972/27

= 36 g/cm³

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 6.6 m/s in 6.5 s. Find the acceleration the car presents during this time?
Art [367]

Answer:

1.02 m/s²

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 6.6 m/s

Time (t) = 6.5 s

Acceleration (a) =.?

Acceleration can simply be defined as the change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

a = (v – u) / t

Where:

a is the acceleration.

v is the final velocity.

u is the initial velocity.

t is the time.

With the above formula, we can obtain the acceleration of the car as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 6.6 m/s

Time (t) = 6.5 s

Acceleration (a) =.?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (6.6 – 0) / 6.5

a = 6.6 / 6.5

a = 1.02 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 1.02 m/s²
