Answer:

a) 90 N

Explanation:

Coulomb's law: states that the electric force of attraction or repulsion between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

It is represented mathematically as

F = 1/4πε₀(q₁q₂)/d²......................... Equation 1

Where F = Electrostatic force, q₁ = charge on the first metal sphere, q₂ = charge on the second metal sphere, d = distance between the spheres, 1/4πε₀ = proportionality constant.

<em>Given: q₁ = +2.0×10⁻⁵ C, q₂ = 2.0×10⁻⁵, d = 2.0×10⁻¹ m</em>

<em>Constant : 1/4πε₀ = 9×10⁹Nm²/C²</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>F = (9×10⁹×2.0×10⁻⁵×2.0×10⁻⁵)/(2.0×10⁻¹)²</em>

<em>F = (9×4×10⁻¹)/4×10⁻²</em>

<em>F = 90 N</em>

Therefore the electrostatic force is = 90 N

The right option is a) 90 N

Which of the following statements are true concerning the creation of magnetic fields? Check all that apply. Check all that appl
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

Explanation:

Magnet field is a region around the magnet in which the magnetic force can be experienced. A magnet has two poles: North pole and South pole. A Magnetic field originates from north pole and ends at south pole.

Magnets are of two types: Permanent magnet and temporary magnet.

A moving charge produces magnetic field. A stationary charge can not produce a magnetic field.

The rate of flowing charge constitutes an electric current. If the cardboard is placed around the current carrying conductor and the iron fillings spread around the cardboard then the iron nails get stick to it. It means that a current carrying conductor creates a magnetic field around it.

Therefore, the true statements from the given statements are as follows;

A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

A 12-kg piece of metal displaces 1.6 L of water when submerged. Part A Find its density. Express your answer to two significant
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

ρ = 7500 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 12 kg

Displace volume ,V= 1.6 L

We know that

1000 m ³ = 1 L

Therefore V= 0.0016 m ³

When metal piece is fully submerged

We know that

mass = Density x volume

m=\rho \times V

Now by putting the values in the above equation

\rho=\dfrac{12}{0.0016}\ kg/m^3

ρ = 7500 kg/m³

Therefore the density of the metal piece will be  7500 kg/m³.

If a system has 225 kcal of work done to it, and releases 5.00 × 102 kj of heat into its surroundings, what is the change in int
vovikov84 [41]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system

W is the work done by the system on the surrounding


In this problem, the work done by the system is

W=-225 kcal=-941.4 kJ

with a negative sign because the work is done by the surrounding on the system, while the heat absorbed is

Q=-5 \cdot 10^2 kJ=-500 kJ

with a negative sign as well because it is released by the system.


Therefore, by using the initial equation, we find

\Delta U=Q-W=-500 kJ+941.4 kJ=441.4 kJ

Please answer this question for me and explain why.
horsena [70]

Answer:

D.None of these

Explanation:

The derivation of acceleration formula:

Let us call the 5kg mass m_2 and the 4kg mass m_1. If the tension in the string is T then for the mass m_2

(1). T-m_2g=-m_2a <em>(the negative sign on the right side indicates that acceleration is downwards)</em>

And for the mass m_1

(2). T-m_1g =m_1a<em> (the acceleration is upwards, hence the positive sign)</em>

Solving for T in the 2nd equation we get:

T =m_1a+m_1g,

and putting this into the 1st equation we get:

m_1a+m_1g-m_2g=-m_2a\\\\m_1a+m_2a = m_2g-m_1g\\\\a(m_1+m_2)= (m_2-m_1)g

\boxed{a= \dfrac{(m_2-m_1)}{(m_1+m_2)} g}

Back to the question:

Using the formula for the acceleration we find

a= \dfrac{(5kg-4kg)}{(5kg+4kg)} g

a = \dfrac{g}{9},

which is the acceleration that none of the given choices offer. Also, the acceleration of the two blocks is the same, because if it weren't, the difference in the instantaneous velocities of the objects would cause the string to break. Therefore, these two reasons make us decide that none of the choices are correct.
