The magnitude of the electrostatic force between the two charges is $1.12\cdot 10^{14} N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_1, q_2$ are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we have:

$q_1 = +10.0 C$

$q_2 = -50.0 C$

r = 20.0 cm = 0.20 m

Therefore, the force between the charges is

$F=(8.99\cdot 10^9) \frac{(10)(-50)}{(0.20)^2}=-1.12\cdot 10^{14} N$

where the negative sign means that the force is attractive, since the two charges have opposite sign.

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

183333 Pa

Explanation:

The weight of the football player is : 550 N ,thus the force the player exerts on the floor is 550 N

The area of blades in contact with the floor is = 30cm² = 0.003 m²

Pressure = Force / Area

Pressure = 550 / 0.003

Pressure = 183333 Pa

A sailboat runs before the wind with a constant speed of 2.8 m/s in a direction 52° north of west. How far (a) west and (b) nort

vodka [1.7K]

<h2>Displacement along west = 3612 m</h2><h2>Displacement along north = 4633.50 m</h2>

Explanation:

Let east be positive x axis and north be positive y axis

Velocity of boat = 2.8 m/s in a direction 52° north of west.

Velocity, v = -2.8 cos 52 i + 2.8 sin 52 j = -1.72 i + 2.21 j m/s

Time taken = 35 min = 35 x 60 = 2100 s

Displacement = Velocity x Time

Displacement = (-1.72 i + 2.21 j) x 2100

Displacement = -3612 i + 4633.50 j m

Displacement along west = 3612 m

Displacement along north = 4633.50 m

A baseball player throws a ball horizontally at the same moment another baseball player jobs a second ball straight down from th

attashe74 [19]

I don't know what you mean when you say he "jobs" the other ball, and the answer to this question really depends on that word.

I'm going to say that the second player is holding the second ball, and he just opens his fingers and lets the ball <u><em>drop</em></u>, at the same time and from the same height as the first ball.

Now I'll go ahead and answer the question that I've just invented:

Strange as it may seem, <em>both</em> balls hit the ground at the <em>same time</em> ... the one that's thrown AND the one that's dropped. The horizontal speed of the thrown ball has no effect on its vertical acceleration, so both balls experience the same vertical behavior.

And here's another example of the exact same thing:

Say you shoot a bullet straight out of a horizontal rifle barrel, AND somebody else <em>drops</em> another bullet at exactly the same time, from a point right next to the end of the rifle barrel. I know this is hard to believe, but both of those bullets hit the ground at the same time too, just like the baseballs ... the bullet that's shot out of the rifle and the one that's dropped from the end of the barrel.

The circuit below contains an ideal battery, four identical light bulbs, and a switch. The switch is initially open.

Dafna1 [17]

The question is incomplete! circuit figure is attached below and answer and explanation is provided below.

Answer:

Bulb_A = Bulb_B = Bulb_D and Bulb_C = 0.

Explanation:

What happens when switch is open?

When the switch is open Bulb_C is open circuited meaning that there is no way for the current to flow through it. This path offers infinite resistance to the current therefore, current will try to take a least resistance path that is through Bulb_B.

So eventually, when the switch is open the circuit becomes a simple series circuit with path From battery to Bulb_A to Bulb_B to Bulb_D to battery with Bulb_C = 0.

What happens in a series circuit?

We know that in a series circuit, there is only one path for the current to flow therefore, same current will flow through all the series Bulbs and their brightness will be same. Bulb_A = Bulb_B = Bulb_D

Brightness in a series circuit:

We also know know that in a series circuit, resistance gets summed up and voltage across each Bulb gets shared which results in less power dissipation that's why Bulbs connected in series appear dimmer as compared to when they are connected in parallel.
