Answer:special relativity apply to INERTIAL FRAME REFERENCE

Explanation:

inertial frame of reference is the one in which acceleration is zero this means object is moving with constant velocity

Two particles with charges of 2nC and 5nC are separated by a distance of 3m. The charge 2nC is placed on the left. Find the forc
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

1\cdot 10^{-8} N to the left

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by the following equation:

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

where:

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

q_1, q_2 are the magnitude of the two charges

r is the distance between the two charges

Moreover, the force is:

- Attractive if the charges have opposite sign

- Repulsive if the charges have same sign

In this problem, we have:

q_1=2nC=2\cdot 10^{-9}C is the magnitude of charge 1

q_2=5nC =5\cdot 10^{-9}C is the magnitude of charge 2

r = 3 m is the distance between the two charges

Substituting, we find the force on both charges:

F=\frac{(9\cdot 10^9)(5\cdot 10^{-9})(2\cdot 10^{-9}}{3^2}=1\cdot 10^{-8} N

Here, the two charges are both positive, so the force is repulsive; since the 2 nC charge is on the left, this means that the force on this charge is to the left (away from the 5 nC charge).

How could you increase the gravitational potential energy between yourself and Earth?
Tamiku [17]
Gravitational Potential Energy, GPE = mgh

Where m is your mass in kg, g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², and h is the height in m.

The only value that be controlled here is the height h.  The mass is constant, and acceleration due to gravity at that place is constant.

But h can be varied.

Hence to increase the gravitational potential energy between yourself and Earth is to increase the height h.

This can be done by climbing up a table, or climbing up a building through the stairs, or by using a lift.

The speed of light is about 3.00 × 10 meters per second. What is the frequency of green light that has a wavelength about 500 na
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The frequency of the green light is 6x10^{14}Hz

Explanation:

The visible region is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, any radiation of that electromagnetic spectrum has a speed of 3.00x10^{8}m/s in the vacuum.

Green light is part of the visible region. Therefore, the frequency can be determined by the following equation:

c = \lambda \cdot \nu  (1)

Where c is the speed of light, \lambda is the wavelength and \nu is the frequency.  

Notice that since it is electromagnetic radiation, equation 1 can be used. Remember that light propagates in the form of an electromagnetic wave (that is a magnetic field perpendicular to an electric field).

Then, \nu can be isolated from equation 1

\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}  (2)

Notice that it is necessary to express the wavelength in units of meters.  

\lambda = 500nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9}nm} ⇒ 5x10^{-7}m

\nu = \frac{3.00x10^{8}m/s}{5x10^{-7}m}

\nu = 6x10^{14}s^{-1}  

\nu = 6x10^{14}Hz  

Hence, the frequency of the green light is 6x10^{14}Hz
