Electric Charge andStatic ElectricityIt was known as early as 600BCEthat objects could become charged by rubbing fur on various

substances such as amber. Charged objects could be used to attract light objects such as hair. In the 1700s, it was determined that charge came in two varieties that could cancel each other out. Charles-Augustin de Coulomb established a quantitativerelation in 1783 that describes how charged objects interact via the electric force. The electric force:

Answer:

Explanation:

In 1785, Coulomb investigated quantitatively, the force exerted between point charges.

The Coulomb's Law states that: "The force of attraction or repulsion between two, point charges is directly proportional to the product of magnitude of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. "

If q₁ and q₂ are two, point charges and r is the distance between them, then the electric force of attraction or repulsion F between them, according to Coulomb’s law will be:

F ∝ q₁q₂ ________________________ eqn (1)

F ∝ 1/r²  ________________________ eqn (2)

Combining eqn (1) and eqn (2), we get:

F ∝ (q₁ q₂)/r²  

<u>F = (kq₁q₂)/r²  </u>

where,

k = constant of proportionality = 9 x 10⁹ N.m² / C²

You are performing a knee extension exercise. You hold a 20kg weight at full knee extension. The weight is 0.4m from your knee j
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The moment is -78.4 N-m (clockwise).

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the object (m) = 20 kg

Distance of the object from the knee joint (d) = 0.4 m

Weight of leg is not considered.

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Now, weight of the object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity. So,

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

            = mg=20\times 9.8 =196\ N

We know that, moment of a force about a point is defined as the product of force applied and the perpendicular distance between the point and the line of application of force.

Moment of the given weight about the knee joint is given as:

Moment about knee joint = Weight × Distance from knee joint to weight

Moment about knee joint = 196 × 0.4 = 78.4 Nm

Now, from the diagram below, we can observe that, the weight acts vertically down and thus the sense of rotation about the knee joint at point O is clockwise. So, moment is negative.

Therefore, the moment is -78.4 N-m (clockwise).

What motivates the squire in lines 85- 90?
just olya [345]
<span>Answer: If you mean the Knight in the prologue, the man traveling with his son (the Squire) and a Yeoman, he is traveling to Canterbury to give thanks for his safe return from the wars in the Baltic. We're told that he has never been known to speak unkindly to anyone, a fact that sums up his chivalrous upbringing. Evidently he feels strongly motivated to live by a code of high standards and refined behavior.</span>
