Answer:

q=7.65*10^{-8}C

Explanation:

Using Newton's second law, we calculate the magnitude of the electric force between the spheres:

F=ma\\F=0.5*10^{-3}kg(170\frac{m}{s^2})\\F=0.085N

The magnitude of the charge in both spheres is the same. So, we calculate the charge, using Coulomb's law:

F=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}\\q=\sqrt\frac{Fd^2}{k}\\q=\sqrt\frac{(0.085N)(2.5*10^{-2}m)^2}{8.99*10^9\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}\\q=7.65*10^{-8}C

The difference in the composition of the terrestrial planets and the gas giants can be explained by the different condensation
miv72 [106K]
The inner planets are usually rocky because the gravitational pull is stronger closer to the star or in this case the sun. The dust and rocky particles that are left over after a super nova or in a nebula will tend to orbit closer to a proto-star when a solar system is in its early days. In our solar system these planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Gases are less dense and will be less affected by the pull of gravity because rocky particles have more mass. The outer planets are gas giants formed from clouds of gas that would be further out in the spinning disk around a proto-star.

An amusement park ride raises people high into the air, suspends them for a moment, and then drops them at a rate of free-fall a
blsea [12.9K]

Answer: apparent weighlessness.


Explanation:


1) Balance of forces on a person falling:


i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).


ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).


iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).


2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.


3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.


Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.

What is the mass of a dog running at a speed of 5 m/s and a momentum of 120.5 kgm/s?
viktelen [127]

Given:

Momentum of the dog (p) = 120.5 kg m/s

Speed of the dog (v) = 5 m/s

To Find:

Mass of the dog (m)

Concept/Theory:

\underline{\underline{ \bf{\Large{Momentum}}}}

  • It is defined as the quantity of motion contained in a body.
  • It is measured as the product of mass of the body and it's speed.
  • It is represented by p.
  • It's SI unit is kg m/s
  • Mathematical Representation/Equation of Momentum: \boxed{ \bf{p = mv}}

Answer:

By using equation of momentum, we get:

\rm \longrightarrow m =  \dfrac{p}{v}  \\  \\  \rm \longrightarrow m =  \dfrac{120.5}{5}  \\  \\  \rm \longrightarrow m = 24.1 \: kg

\therefore Mass of the dog (m) = 24.1 kg
