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:

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

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached

MissTica

Answer:

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached free fall.

Explanation:

When an object has only force acting on it as gravity then, it experiences free fall.
During free fall all the forces except gravity is balanced by one another.
In the question, object's weight is balanced by air resistance so it is in the state of free fall.
At the null point of free fall, object experiences weightlessness i.e. it feels like object is not attracted by any force.

A skateboarder is moving 5.25 m/s when he starts to roll up a frictionless hill. How much higher is he when his velocity has red

Taya2010 [7]

Mechanical energy E = mgh + 1/2mv²

When he starts, let h = 0 ⇒ E₁ = 1/2mv₁²
When he reaches height h ⇒ E₂ = mgh + 1/2mv₂²

Without friction, energy is conserved at all times.

E₁ = E₂
↓
1/2mv₁² = mgh + 1/2mv₂²
↓
1/2v₁² = gh + 1/2v₂²
↓
gh = 1/2(v₁² - v₂²)
↓
h = (v₁² - v₂²) / (2g)

A resistor is connected in series with an AC source that provides a sinusoidal voltage of v of t is equal to V times cosine of b

nekit [7.7K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

In circuits, the average power is defined as the average of the instantaneous power over one period. The instantaneous power can be found as:

$p(t)=v(t)i(t)$

So the average power is:

$P=\frac{1}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}p(t)dt$

But:

$v(t)=v_{m}cos(\omega t) \\ \\ i(t)=i_{m}cos(\omega t)$

So:

$P=\frac{1}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}v_{m}cos(\omega t)i_{m}cos(\omega t)dt \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}cos^{2}(\omega t)dt \\ \\ But: cos^{2}(\omega t)=\frac{1+cos(2\omega t)}{2}$

$P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}(\frac{1+cos(2\omega t)}{2} )dt \\\\P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{cos(2\omega t)}{2}]dt \\\\P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}[\frac{1}{2}(t)\right|_0^T +\frac{sin(2\omega t)}{4\omega} \right|_0^T] \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{2T}[(t)\right|_0^T +\frac{sin(2\omega t)}{2\omega} \right|_0^T] \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{2}$

In terms of RMS values:

$V_{RMS}=V=\frac{v_{m}}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \\ I_{RMS}=I=\frac{i_{m}}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ P=VI$
