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

A 600-g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant k =190.0 N/m. The block becomes attached to t
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Work done will be 2.205 j

Explanation:

We have given that the spring is compressed b 37.5 cm

So d = 0.375 m

Mass of the block m = 600 gram = 0.6 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Gravitational force on the block F=mg=0.6\times 9.8=5.88N

Now we know that work done is give by W=Fd=5.88\times 0.375=2.205J

An astronaut stands on the surface of an asteroid. The astronaut then jumps such that the astronaut is no longer in contact with
Anna71 [15]

(D) The gravitational force between the astronaut and the asteroid.

Reason :

All the other forces given in the options, except (D), doesn't account for the motion of the astronaut. They are the forces that act between nucleons or atoms and neither of them accounts for an objects motion.

(HELP!! 10pts) a train travels 75km in 1hr, and then 68km in 2hrs. what is its average speed?
blondinia [14]
Average speed = total distance travelled ÷ total time taken

AS = (75km + 68km) ÷ (1hr + 2hr)

As = 143km ÷ 3hr

AS = 47.66667 km/hr

AS = 47.7 km/hr (3sf)

How much time will it take to do 33j of work with 11 w of power
Yuri [45]

Time required : 3 s

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Power is the work done/second.

\tt P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P=power,j/s,watt\\\\W=work, J\\\\t=times=s

 

To do 33 J of work with 11 W of power

P = 11 W

W = 33 J

\tt t=\dfrac{W}{P}\\\\t=\dfrac{33}{11}\\\\t=\boxed{\bold{3~s}}
