Answer:

(a). The unknown charge is 10.9 μC.

(b). The magnitude of the force that the unknown charge exerts on the charge of magnitude 0.550 μC is 0.600 N and direction is downward

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge = -0.550μC

Force = 0.600 N

Distance = 0.300 m

(a). We need to calculate the unknown charge

Using formula of force

F=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\times\dfrac{q_{1}q_{2}}{r^2}

Put the value into the formula

0.600=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times0.550\times10^{-6}\timesq_{2}}{(0.300)^2}

q_{2}=\dfrac{0.600\times(0.300)^2}{9\times10^{9}\times0.550\times10^{-6}}

q_{2}=10.9\times10^{-6}\ C

q_{2}=10.9\ \mu C

(b). We need to calculate the magnitude and direction of the force that the unknown charge exerts on the -0.550 µC charge

The force between the charges is same,force exerted by q₁ on q₂ is equal to force exerted by q₂ on q₁ but direction is opposite.

The magnitude of the force that the unknown charge exerts on the charge of magnitude 0.550 μC is 0.600 N and direction is downward

Hence, (a). The unknown charge is 10.9 μC.

(b). The magnitude of the force that the unknown charge exerts on the charge of magnitude 0.550 μC is 0.600 N and direction is downward

A 2.35-kg rock is released from rest at a height of 21.4 m. Ignore air resistance and determine (a) the kinetic energy at 21.4 m
kvasek [131]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of rock, m = 2.35-kg

It was released from rest at a height of 21.4 m.

(a) The kinetic energy is given by : E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

As the rock was at rest initially, it means, its kinetic energy is equal to 0.

(b) The gravitational potential energy is given by : E_p=mgh

It can be calculated as :

E_p=2.35\times 9.8\times 21.4\\\\E_p=492.84\ J

(c) The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic and potential energy such that,

M = 0 J + 492.84 J

M = 492.84 J

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which is not a source of electrical energy in the United States
xenn [34]

Every practical source of energy that you can imagine, as well as a few impractical ones, are used somewhere in the USA.

From whale oil in Alaska, to nuclear energy, to coal, petroleum, natural gas, solar energy, wind energy, and biomass.

Oh ! Geothermal energy and tidal energy aren't too popular, but I'll bet if you looked, you'd find these used too, SOMEwhere in the 50 states.

A car breaks down 3.5 meters away from the side of the road. 2.060 Newtons of
kogti [31]

Answer:

<h2>7.21 J</h2>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

workdone = force × distance

From the question we have

workdone = 2.060 × 3.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.21 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
