Answer:

when they are far away from each other they will move at a velocity of v∞/q = 1.84*10⁶ m/(s*C)

Step-by-step explanation:

if we assume that the charges repel according to a Coulomb's law ( we neglect any relativistic effects) , then the force of repulsion is

F rep = k*q*q/r²

where q= charge

k= Coulomb's constant

r= distance

from Newton's second law :

F rep = m*a= m*dv/dt = m*dv/dr * dr/dt = m*v*dv/dr

k*q*q/r²  = m*v*dv/dr  

k*q*q/(m*r²)   = v*dv/dr

(k*q*q/m) ∫ r⁻² dr= ∫v*dv

-2*k*q*q/m*r = v² - v₁²

for r=r₀ , v=0 ,then

-2*k*q*q/m*r₀ = 0 - v₁²

v₁² = 2*k*q*q/m*r₀

v²=  -k*q*q/(m*r)  + v₁²= 2*k*q*q/m* (1/r₀-1/r)

then

v²=  2*k*q²/m* (1/r₀-1/r)

when the masses are far away from each other r→∞ , 1/r → 0, then

v∞²  =  2*k*q²/(m*r₀)

v∞ = √[2*k*q²/(m*r₀)]

since

k=  8.987*10⁹ N·m²/C² , m= 1 mg = 0.001 kg , r₀= 5.3 cm = 0.053 m

v∞/q = √[[2*k/(m*r₀)] = √[2*8.987*10⁹ N·m²/C²/(0.001 kg*0.053 m)] =  1.84*10⁶ m/(s*C)

v∞/q = 1.84*10⁶ m/(s*C)

Answer:

The suggestion proposed considering special cases, so that’s what we’ll do.

One special case we could consider is when x=0. If h=r, then we have a hemisphere. You may have learnt that the surface area of a sphere is 4πr2, so the answer in this case is 2πr2. Likewise, we can consider the most extreme cases: when h=2r, we get an area of 4πr2 (the entire sphere), and when h=0, we get zero area.

So if we do manage to get a general formula, we will be able to check it in these special cases.

Another possible idea when x=0 is to consider what happens when h is very small. In this case, the surface area looks a lot like a circle, but the radius of the circle does not seem particularly easy to work out, so maybe we’ll leave this one for a moment. (There are things we can do to approximate the radius using more advanced techniques, but they are currently beyond us.)

Another thing we could consider is the situation where h is very small. Then the part of the sphere between the planes looks very much like the frustum of a cone, and we know how to find the (surface) area of such a shape – see Cones.

If we recall our answer from that problem, we find the formulae for the surface area

π(R+r)s=π(R+r)hcosθ=π(R2−r2)sinθ.

Here, R is the radius of the base of the frustum, r is the radius of the top, h is the perpendicular height, s is the slant length and θ is the angle the slant makes with the vertical.

I need help with this and pleases explain this its due today
Gwar [14]

Answer:

1. x= 20/3 or 6.6666 repeating

2. x=3

3. a=39

Step-by-step explanation:

1. subtract 25 by 5 to get 20, then divide 20 by 3 to get x

2. divide 7 by 21 to get x

3. add 8 to 31 to get a equals 39
