When sugar is poured from the box into the sugar bowl, the rubbing of sugar grains creates a static electric charge that repels

the grains, and causes sugar to go flying out in all directions. If each of two sugar grains acquires a charge of 1.79 x 10-11 C at a separation of 3.45 x 10-5 m, with what force will they repel each other?

Answer:

2.6×10⁻³ N

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

F = kq'q/r²................ Equation 1

Where F = Repulsive force, q' = charge on the first sugar grain, q = charge on the second sugar grain, r = distance of separation between the sugar grain, k = proportionality constant.

From the question,

since q' = q

Then,

F = kq²/r²..................... Equation 2

Given: q = 1.79×10⁻¹¹ C, r = 3.45×10⁻⁵ m,

Constant: k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/kg².

Substitute into equation 2

F = 9×10⁹(1.79×10⁻¹¹)²/(3.45×10⁻⁵ )²

F = 9×10⁹(3.2041×10⁻²²)/(11.9025×10⁻¹⁰)

F = (28.8369×10⁻¹³)/(11.9025×10⁻¹⁰)

F = 2.6×10⁻³ N.

A cannon ball is shot straight upward with a velocity of 72.50 m/s. How high is the cannon ball above the ground 3.30 seconds af
disa [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Cannon is fired with a velocity of u=72.50\ m/s

Using Equation of motion

y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

y=displacement

u=initial\ velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

after time t=3.3 s

y=72.50\times 3.3-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (3.3)^2

y=239.25-53.36

y=185.89\ m

So after 3.3 s cannon ball is at a height of 185.89 m

Why does conduction occur in solids?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Conduction occurs more readily in solids and liquids, where the particles are closer to together, than in gases, where particles are further apart. ... As these molecules collide, thermal energy is transferred via conduction to the rest of the pan.

Explanation:

Metals have tightly packed atoms which can easily pass on their kinetic energy and also have free moving electrons.
