Explanation :

(1) Charles Coulomb discovered the electrostatic force acting on two charged bodies.

According to him " the force of attraction or repulsion is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.''

F=\dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

where

\dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} is electrostatic constant.

While Sir Isaac Newton discovered the gravitational forces acting on two masses.

According to him " there exists a force in the universe which attracts every other object with a force which is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them."

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

where,

G is universal gravitational constant.

(2) It is given that,

Charge, q=1.25\times 10^{-19}\ N

Force, F=3\times 10^{-9}\ N

We know that the relation between electric field and electric force is F = q E.

So, E=\dfrac{F}{q}

E=\dfrac{3\times 10^{-9}\ N}{1.25\times 10^{-19}\ C}}

E=2.4\times 10^{10}\ N/C

(3) It is given that,

Electric field, E=2.8\times 10^4\ N/C

Charge, q=-4\times 10^{-6}\ C

Since, F = q E

So, F=-4\times 10^{-6}\ C\times 2.8\times 10^4\ N/C

F=-11.2\times 10^{-2}\ N

<em>Negative sign shows the force is attractive.</em>

Hence, this is the required solution.

Base on the question, the answer and the explanation would be, Newton's law of gravitation has force proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Coulomb's law is similar, with the charges replacing the masses; however, you can have repulsion (+)(+) or (-)(-) with electrostatics but only attraction with gravitation.

14. Saeed is pulling a 6 kg heavy rock with an upward force of 40 N but does not succeed to lift it up. What is the magnitude of
NemiM [27]

Answer:

58.8 N

Explanation:

The normal force is calculated as equal to the perpendicular component of the gravitational force.

Thus; N = mg

We are given m = 6 kg

Thus;

N = 6 × 9.8

N = 58.8 N

Thus, magnitude of normal force on the rock = 58.8 N

___ acceleration occurs when an object speeds up
AleksandrR [38]

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time.

When there is an increment or increase in the magnitude of velocity of a moving body then it is known as positive acceleration.

Whereas when there is a decrease in magnitude of velocity of a moving body then it is known as negative acceleration.

Thus, we can conclude that positive acceleration occurs when an object speeds up.

According to the graph, how many atoms would remain after two half-lives?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Let No be initial no of atoms

N = N0 / 2      after 1 half-life

N = N0 / 4     after 2 half-lives

So after 2 half-lives 20 of the 80 atoms remain
