<span>
In layman's term: </span>like charges don't attract while opposite charges do<span>electrostatic forces between point A( which is charged) and point B (which is also charged) are proportional to the charge of point A and point B. </span><span>there is also something else about this  law that I don't quite remember.</span>

<span>___________________________________________________</span>

<span />Here is the formula:

<span>F = k x Q1 x Q2/d^<span>2</span></span>

<span>What the formula means:</span>

F=force between charges

Q1 and Q2= amount of charge

d=distance between these two charges

k= Coulombs constant (proportionally constant)

________________________________________________

I think that about covers it and hopefully this helped.

Coulomb's law states that if you place two particles of respective charges q_1,q_2 at a distance d from each other, one will exert the following force on the other :

\vec{F}=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}\vec{u} where \vec{u} is a unit vector from the first charge to the other and k is a positive constant.

A direct consequence of this is that two charges of same sign repel each other, while two charges of opposite signs attract each other.

Before the experiment, the total momentum of the system is 2.5 kg m/s to the right and the kinetic energy is 5J. After the exper
finlep [7]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.

Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.

As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is 2.5~Kg~m~s^{-1} and the kinetic energy is 5~J. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is  2.5~Kg~m~s^{-1}, but the kinetic energy is reduced to 4~J. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.

Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).

The strength of the electric field at a certain distance from a point charge is represented by E. What is the strength of the el
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Using Coulomb's law equation

Force of the charge = k qQ /d²

and E = F/ q

substitute for F

E = ( K Qq/ d² ) / q

q cancel q

E = KQ / d²

so twice  the distance of the from the point charge will lead to the E ( electric field ) decrease by a 4 = E/4. E is inversely proportional to d²

A 10kg sphere hits a stationary 8kg sphere. After the collision the 8kg sphere moves off in the positive direction at 4m/s. If t
Bumek [7]

M = mass of the first sphere = 10 kg

m = mass of the second sphere = 8 kg

V = initial velocity of the first sphere before collision = 10 m/s

v = initial velocity of the second sphere before collision = 0 m/s

V' = final velocity of the first sphere after collision = ?

v' = final velocity of the second sphere after collision = 4 m/s

using conservation of momentum

M V + m v = M V' + m v'

(10) (10) + (8) (0) = (10) V' + (8) (4)

100 = (10) V' + 32

(10) V' = 68

V' = 6.8 m/s
