Discuss the symmetry between the laws of Charles Coulomb and Sir Isaac Newton regarding forces

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.

A pet-store supply truck moves at 25.0 m/s north along a highway. inside, a dog moves at 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0° east of
koban [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

  Speed of truck = 25 m/s north = 25 j m/s

  Speed of dog = 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0° east of north = (1.75 cos 35 i + 1.75 sin 35 j)m/s

                          = (1.43 i + 1.00 j) m/s

    Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 25 j + 1.43 i + 1.00 j = 1.43 i + 26.00 j

    Magnitude of velocity = 26.04 m/s

    Angle from positive horizontal axis = 86.85⁰

 So Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 86.85⁰ east of north = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.

Explain why it is easier to climb a mountain on a zigzag path rather than one straight up the side.
GaryK [48]
Although a zig zag pattern going up a mountain means you walk further, the incline of the slope is a lot less so you don't have to work as hard.

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity u = 32.7 m /s

final velocity v = 50.3 m /s

displacement s = 44500 m

acceleration a = ?

v² = u² + 2 a s

50.3² = 32.7² + 2 x a x 44500

2530.09 = 1069.29 + 89000a

a .016 m /s²

time taken t = ?

v = u + at

50.3 = 32.7 + .016 t

t = 1100 s

(NEED HELP PLEASE) A physics student goes to the roof of the school, 24.15 m above the ground, and drops a pumpkin straight down
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

t = 2.2 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the roof, h = 24.15 m

The initial velocity of the pumpkin, u = 0

We need to find the time taken for the pumpkin to hit the ground. Let the time be t. Using second equation of kinematics to find it as follows :

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, u = 0 and a = g

h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 24.15}{9.8}} \\\\t=2.22\ s

So, it will take 2.22 s for the pumpkin to hit the ground.
