Answer:

Explanation:

Q1 = +2.50 x 10^-5C and Q2 = -2.50 x 10^-5C, r = 0.50m, F=?

Using Coulomb's law:

F = 1/(4πE) x Q1 x Q2/ r^2

Where

k= 1/(4πE) = 9 x 10^9Nm2/C2

Therefore,

F = 9x 10^9 x 2.50 x 10^-5 x2.50 x

10^-5/. ( 0.5)^2

F= 5.625/ 0.25

F= 22.5N approximately

F= 23N.

To find the direction of the force: since Q1 is positive and Q2 is negative, the force along Q1 and Q2 is force of attraction.

Hence To = 23N, attractive. C ans.

Thanks.

A 1250 kg car is pulling a 325 kb trailer. The car and trailer have an acceleration of 2,15m/sec2 together. Determine the net fo
xenn [34]

To solve this problem we will apply the definition of Newton's second law, which says that force is equivalent to body mass by acceleration. In this case the mass of the trailer is 325Kg and its acceleration is 2.15m / s ^ 2, so we will proceed to replace and multiply these values to find the net force on this object.

F= ma

F= (325 kg)(2.15 m/s^2)

F= 698.75N

Under the reference system in which the direction of travel is the positive direction, the direction of the force will be positive.

20 cubic inches of a gas with an absolute pressure of 5 psi is compressed until its pressure reaches 10 psi. What's the new volu
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

B. V_{f}= 10\,cubic\,inches

Explanation:

Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:

PV=nRT

With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:

P_{i}V_{i}=n_{i}RT_{i} (1)

P_{f}V_{f}=n_{f}RT_{f} (2)

Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because T_{i}=T_{f}, n_{i}=n_{f} and R is an universal constant:

P_{i}V_{i}= P_{f}V_{f}, solving for V_{f}

V_{f} =\frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{P_{f}} =\frac{(5)(20)}{10}

V_{f}= 10 cubic\,inches
