Answer: The forces acting on both of them will increase in magnitude.

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the electrostatic force between two bodies is proportional to the product of their two charges. If the charge on A is increased this product increases in size (it must have been non-zero to begin with, since there was a force between them at first). Thus, the force between them rises.

Talja [164]

The first thing you should know is that the work is defined as:
W = F * d
Where
F = force
d = displacement
We have then
(a) the block
F = (0.2) * (100) = 20
d = 100
W = (20) * (100) = 2000 ft.lbf
(b) the man as the system.
F = (0.2) * (100 + 180) = 56
d = 100
W = (56) * (100) = 5600 ft.lbf
answer:
(a) 2000 ft.lbf
(b) 5600 ft.lbf

A space probe is fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 2.05 104 m/s. What will its speed be wh

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The value is $v = 2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial speed is $u = 2.05 *10^{4} \ m/s$

Generally the total energy possessed by the space probe when on earth is mathematically represented as

$T__{E}} = KE__{i}} + KE__{e}}$

Here $KE_i$ is the kinetic energy of the space probe due to its initial speed which is mathematically represented as

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2} * m * u^2$

=> $KE_i = \frac{1}{2} * m * (2.05 *10^{4})^2$

=> $KE_i = 2.101 *10^{8} \ \ m \ \ J$

And $KE_e$ is the kinetic energy that the space probe requires to escape the Earth's gravitational pull , this is mathematically represented as

$KE_e = \frac{1}{2} * m * v_e^2$

Here $v_e$ is the escape velocity from earth which has a value $v_e = 11.2 *10^{3} \ m/s$

=> $KE_e = \frac{1}{2} * m * (11.3 *10^{3})^2$

=> $KE_e = 6.272 *10^{7} \ \ m \ \ J$

Generally given that at a position that is very far from the earth that the is Zero, the kinetic energy at that position is mathematically represented as

$KE_p = \frac{1}{2} * m * v^2$

Generally from the law energy conservation we have that

$T__{E}} = KE_p$

$2.101 *10^{8} m + 6.272 *10^{7} m = \frac{1}{2} * m * v^2$

=> $5.4564 *10^{8} = v^2$

=> $v = \sqrt{5.4564 *10^{8}}$

=> $v = 2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s$

A 43.9-g piece of copper (CCu= 0.385 J/g°C) at 135.0°C is plunged into 254 g of water at 39.0°C. Assuming that no heat is lost t

Semmy [17]

Answer:

$T = 40.501\,^{\textdegree}C$

Explanation:

The interaction of the piece of copper and water means that the first one need to transfer heat in order to reach a thermal equilibrium with water. Then:

$-Q_{out,Cu} = Q_{in,H_{2}O}$

After a quick substitution, the expanded expression is:

$-(43.9\,g)\cdot (0.385\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-135^{\textdegree}C) = (254\,g)\cdot (4.187\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-39\,^{\textdegree}C)$

$-16.902\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C}\cdot (T-135^{\textdegree}C) = 1063.498\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C} \cdot (T-39^{\textdegree}C)$

$43758,192\,J = 1080.4\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C}\cdot T$

The final temperature of the system is:

$T = 40.501\,^{\textdegree}C$
