The distance between the two charges is $0.3 m$

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's law:

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

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_1, q_2$ are the charges of the two objects

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we are given the following:

$q_1 = 8\cdot 10^{-5} C$

$q_2 = 3\cdot 10^{-5} C$

$F=2.4\cdot 10^2 N$

Therefore, we can rearrange the equation to solve for r, the distance between the two charges:

$r=\sqrt{\frac{kq_1 q_2}{F}}=\sqrt{\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(8\cdot 10^{-5})(3\cdot 10^{-5})}{2.4\cdot 10^2}}=0.3 m$

A ball rolls across a floor with an acceleration of 0.100 m/s2 in a direction opposite to its velocity. The ball has a velocity

Westkost [7]

Answer:

4.15 m/s

Explanation:

Its given that acceleration is 0.1 m/s² with a direction opposite to the velocity. Since, the direction of acceleration is opposite to the velocity, this gives us a hint that the velocity is decreasing and so acceleration would be negative.

i.e.

acceleration = a = - 0.1 m/s²

Distance covered = S = 6m

Velocity after covering 6 meters = Final velocity = $v_{f}$ = 4 m/s

We need to find the initial speed, which will be the same as the magnitude of initial velocity.

Initial velocity = $v_{i}$ = ?

3rd equation of motion relates the acceleration, distance, final velocity and initial velocity as:

$2aS = (v_{f})^{2}-(v_{i})^{2}$

Using the known values in the formula, we get:

$2(-0.1)(6)=(4)^{2}- (v_{i})^{2}\\\\ (v_{i})^{2}=16+1.2\\\\ (v_{i})^{2}=17.2\\\\ v_{i}=4.15$

Thus, the initial speed of the ball was 4.15 m/s

Which of the following statements about electric field lines associated with electric charges is false? Electric field lines can

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The false statement is 'Electric field lines form closed loops'.

Explanation:

Electric field lines originate from positive end and terminates at negative end,i.e., field lines are inward in direction to the negative charges and outward from the positive charges.
These lines when close together represents high intensity and when far apart shows low intensity of the field.
These lines do not intersect, as the tangent drawn on these lines provides us with the field direction and intersection of these lines means two field directions which is not possible.
These lines unlike magnetic field lines do not form closed loops as they do not turn around but originate at positive end and terminates at negative end which ensures no loop formation.
