Two point charges each carrying a charge of + 4.5 E - 6 C are located 4.5 meters away from each other. How strong is the electro

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

0.009 N, repulsive

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two electric charges is given by:

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

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we have

$q_1 =q_2 = +4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C$ are the two charges

r = 4.5 m is their separation

Substituting into the equation, we find

$F=(9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(+4.5\cdot 10^{-6} C)(4.5\cdot 10^{-6} C)}{(4.5 m)^2}=0.009 N$

Moreover, the force is repulsive. In fact, the following rules apply:

- When two charges have same sign, they repel each other

- When two charges have opposite signs, they attract each other

Assume that the polymer material has a constant refractive index of 1.5. For light of 600nm wavelength at normal incidence, what

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Explanation:

We have given refractive index is n = 1.5

Wavelength of the light incidence $\lambda$ = 600 nm

We have to find the smallest thickness of the film so that there will be minimum light reflect

For minimum thickness of non reflecting film

$t=\frac{\lambda }{4n}$ , here t is thickness, $\lambda$ is wavelength and n is refractive index

Putting all values $t=\frac{600}{4\times 1.5}=100nm$

So minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Modern nuclear bomb tests have created an extra high level of14C in our atmosphere. When future archaeologistsdate samples from

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Too old(Ex. if real time is 1000 then they estimate >1000)

Explanation:

This is because with time our planet may have a definite function which describes temperature.(Because of all the factors and global warming except nuclear bomb testing)

Now nuclear test on planet have significant effect on temperature rise.

Also 14°C rise in temperature is good one because of this.

If future archaeologists only consider that uniform function as above mentioned then they estimate more time then the real one.

Thus too old is right answer.

A 3.00-kg rifle fires a 0.00500-kg bullet at a speed of 300 m/s. Which force is greater in magnitude:(i) the force that the rifl

alekssr [168]

Answer:

C. both forces have the same magnitude

Explanation:

Here the action force is equal to the reaction force in accordance with the Newton's third law of motion.

Also when we apply the conservation of momentum so that the momentum bullet and the momentum of the gun are equal and according to the second law of motion by Newton, we have force equal to the rate of change in momentum.

We have the equation for momentum as:

$p=m.v$

Newton's second law is Mathematically given as:

$F=\frac{dp}{dt}$

Momentum is constant and the reaction time is equal, so the force exerted will also be equal.

You connect a voltmeter to an unknown resistor in a circuit in order to measure the potential difference across that resistor. H

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

option (a)

Explanation:

To make a galvanometer into voltmeter, we have to connect a high resistance in series combination.

The voltmeter is connected in parallel combination with teh resistor to find the voltage drop across it.

An ideal voltmeter has very high resistance that means it has a resistance as infinity.
