F=force between charges

Q1 and Q2= amount of charge

d=distance between these two charges

k= Coulombs constant (proportionally constant)

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.

An Iowa class warship holds the record for the fastest warship. If the ship accelerates uniformly from rest at 0.15 m/s² for 2 m

Mumz [18]

The equation to be used is the derived formulas for rectilinear motion at a constant acceleration. The formula for acceleration is

a = (v - v₀)/t
where
v and v₀ are the initial and final velocities, respectively
t is the time
a is the acceleration

Since it started from rest, v₀ = 0. Using the formula:

0.15 m/s² = (v - 0)/[2 minutes*(60 s/1 min)]
Solving for v,
v = 18 m/s

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 5g of air by 10°C?

Alex777 [14]

You need to know the specific heat capacity of air.
Then energy needed = 0.005 x sp.heat.cap x 10

Which of the following best describes what alveolar are

Zolol [24]

Alveoli are tiny balloon shaped structures and are the smallest passageway in the respiratory system. The alveoli are only one cell thick, allowing the relatively easy passage of oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2) between the alveoli and blood vessels called capillaries.

A car has uniformly accelerated from rest to a speed of 25m/s after traveling 75m. What is its acceleration in m/s^2

Roman55 [17]

<h2><em>So there is two truths given. After an amount of time Ttotal (lets call it ‘t’): </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>The car’s speed is 25m/s </em></h2><h2><em>The distance travelled is 75m </em></h2><h2><em>Then we have the formulas for speed and distance: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>v = a x t -> 25 = a x t </em></h2><h2><em>s = 0.5 x a x t^2 -> 75 = 0.5 x a x t^2 </em></h2><h2><em>Now, we know that both acceleration and time equal for both truths. So we can say: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>t = 25 / a </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = 75 / (0.5 x a) = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em>Since we don’t want to use square root at 2) we go squared for 1): </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = (25 / a) ^2 = 625 / a^2 </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em>Since t has the same value for both truths we can say: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>625 / a^2 = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>Thus multiply both sides with a^2: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>625 = 150 x a, so a = 625 / 150 = 4.17 </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>We can now calculate t as well t = 25 * 150 / 625 = 6</em></h2>
