Answer:

The charges are q₁  = 2 × 10⁻⁸ C and  q₂ = 3 × 10⁻⁸ C

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

Two identical tiny balls have charge q1 and q2. The repulsive force one exerts on the other when they are 20cm apart is 1.35 X 10-4 N. after the balls are touched together and then represented once again to 20cm, now the repulsive force is found to be 1.40 X 10-4 N. find the charges q1 and q2.

Solution

The force F = 1.35 × 10⁻⁴ N when the charges are separated a distance of r = 20 cm = 0.2 m is given by

F = kq₁q₂/r₁²

q₁q₂ = Fr₁²/k

q₁q₂ = 1.35 × 10⁻⁴ N × (0.2 m)²/9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² = 0.054/9 × 10⁻¹³ C² = 0.006 × 10⁻¹³ C² = 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²

q₁q₂ = 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C² (1)

When the charges are brought together, the charge is now q = (q₁ + q₂)/2

The new repulsive force F = 1.406 × 10⁻⁴ N  at a distance of r₂ = 20 cm = 0.2 m is then

F₂ = kq²/r₂²

q² = F₂r₂²/k = 1.406 × 10⁻⁴ N × (0.2 m)²/9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² = 0.00625 × 10⁻¹³ C² = 6.25 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²

q² = 6.25 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²

q = √(6.25 × 10⁻¹⁶) C

q = 2.5 × 10⁻⁸ C

(q₁ + q₂)/2 =  2.5 × 10⁻⁸ C

(q₁ + q₂) = 2 × 2.5 × 10⁻⁸ C

q₁ + q₂ = 5 × 10⁻⁸ C (2)

q₁  = 5 × 10⁻⁸ C - q₂  (3)

Substituting equation (3) into (1), we have

(5 × 10⁻⁸ C - q₂)q₂ = 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²

Expanding the bracket, we have

(5 × 10⁻⁸ C)q₂ - q₂² = 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²

So, q₂² - (5 × 10⁻⁸ C)q₂ + 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C² = 0

Using the quadratic formula to find q₂

q_{2} = \frac{-(-5 X 10^{-8} )+/- \sqrt{(-5 X 10^{-8} )^{2} - 4X1X6 X 10^{-16} } }{2X1}\\  = \frac{5 X 10^{-8} )+/- \sqrt{25 X 10^{-16}  - 24 X 10^{-16} } }{2}\\= \frac{5 X 10^{-8} )+/- \sqrt{1 X 10^{-16} } }{2}\\= \frac{5 X 10^{-8} )+/- 1 X 10^{-8} }{2}\\= \frac{5 X 10^{-8} + 1 X 10^{-8} }{2} or \frac{5 X 10^{-8}  - 1 X 10^{-8} }{2}\\= \frac{6 X 10^{-8} }{2} or \frac{4 X 10^{-8}}{2}\\= 3 X 10^{-8} C or 2 X 10^{-8} C

q₁  = 5 × 10⁻⁸ C - q₂

q₁  = 5 × 10⁻⁸ C - 3 × 10⁻⁸ C or 5 × 10⁻⁸ C - 2 × 10⁻⁸ C

q₁  = 2 × 10⁻⁸ C or 3 × 10⁻⁸ C

So the charges are q₁  = 2 × 10⁻⁸ C and  q₂ = 3 × 10⁻⁸ C

Need answers quick !! will give brainliest !!
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

use the bowl of water because Earth's magnetic field is relatively weak. Allowing it to float freely on the water, allows the magnetized needle to freely react to Earth's magnetic field, causing it to align North to South. If you watched closely, the same end of the needle should always point to the North

The fundamental frequency of a standing wave on a 1.0-m-long string is 440 Hz. What would be the wave speed of a pulse moving al
Nana76 [90]

Answer: v = 880m/s

Explanation: The length of a string is related to the wavelength of sound passing through the string at the fundamental frequency is given as

L = λ/2 where L = length of string and λ = wavelength.

But L = 1m

1 = λ/2

λ = 2m.

But the frequency at fundamental is 440Hz and

V = fλ

Hence

v = 440 * 2

v = 880m/s
