Answer:
Option C. 16.6 m/s
Explanation:
To round this 16.558 m/s to 3sf, we need to count the number beginning from 1. When we get to the 3rd number( ie 5), we'll examine the fourth number(i.e 5)to see if it less than five or greater. If it less than five, then we'll discard it. But if it five or greater, we'll approximate it and add it to the 3rd number.
So.
16.558 m/s = 16.6m/s to 3sf
Answer:
0.00899 N
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by the equation:
where:
is the Coulomb's constant
are the charges
r is the distance between the two charges
And the force is:
- Repulsive if the two charges have same sign
- Attractive if the two charges have opposite sign
In this problem we have:
(charge of object 1)
(charge of object 2)
r = 1 m (separation between the objects)
So, the electric force is

Hi there!
According to Newton's second law:
∑F = m · a, where:
∑F = net force (N = kgm/s²)
m = mass (kg)
a = acceleration (m/s²)
Rearrange to solve for acceleration:
F/m = a
20N / 4.0kg = 5 m/s²
