<span> In AC (alternating current) flow, like what comes out of your wall, the flow of electrons changes direction 60 times per second (50 times per second in Europe, China, etc). But in DC (direct current) flow, the average flow of electrons is in one direction only.
I hope it helped you</span>

The charges of two particles are as follows: Q1=2 x 10 -8 C and Q2 = 3 x 10 -7 C. Find the magnitude of the force between these
Fantom [35]

Answer:

F = 3.86 x 10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

First, we will find the distance between the two particles:

r = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2+(z_{2}-z_{1})^2}\\

where,

r = distance between the particles = ?

(x₁, y₁, z₁) = (2, 5, 1)

(x₂, y₂, z₂) = (3, 2, 3)

Therefore,

r = \sqrt{(3-2)^2+(2-5)^2+(3-1)^2}\\r = 3.741\ m\\

Now, we will calculate the magnitude of the force between the charges by using Coulomb's Law:

F = \frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^2}\\

where,

F = magnitude of force = ?

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q₁ = magnitude of first charge = 2 x 10⁻⁸ C

q₂ = magnitude of second charge = 3 x 10⁻⁷ C

r = distance between the charges = 3.741 m

Therefore,

F = \frac{(9\ x\ 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2)(2\ x\ 10^{-8}\ C)(3\ x\ 10^{-7}\ C)}{(3.741\ m)^2}\\

<u>F = 3.86 x 10⁻⁶ N</u>

A motorcycle has a mass of 250kg. It goes around a 13.7 m radius turn at 96.5 km/hr. What is the centripetal force?
topjm [15]

Answer: c) 1.31 × 10⁴N

Explanation:

Centripetal force is a force that causes a body to move in a circular path. The body possesses a centripetal acceleration.

According to newtons first law

Force = mass (m) ×acceleration (a)

Acceleration of a body moving in a circular path = v²/r where;

v is the velocity and r is the radius

Force = MV²/r

Given m = 250kg v = 96.5km/hr r = 13.7m

We need to convert 96.5km/hr to m/s

= 96.5km ×1000/1hr × 3600

= 96,500/3,600

v = 26.8m/s

Force = 250 × 26.8²/13.7

Force = 13,106.5N

The centripetal force = 13,106.5N

= 1.31 × 10⁴N

Listening to the radio, you can hear two stations at once. Describe this wave interaction
Sedaia [141]
Actually says Pantazis, since their frequencies are so wildly different, brain waves don’t interfere with radio waves. Even if that was the case, brain waves are so weak, they are hardly measurable at all. For comparison, says Pantazis, “the magnetic field of the earth is just strong enough to move the needle of a compass. Signals from the brain are a billionth of that strength.”
