What is the relationship between the electric force and each one of the charges?

1 answer:

3 0

Explanation: Electrostatic force is directly related to the charge of each object. So if the charge of one object is doubled, then the force will become two times greater.

The driver of a car going 86.0 km/h suddenly sees the lights of a barrier 44.0 m ahead. It takes the driver 0.75 s to apply the

Lynna [10]

Part a

Answer: NO

We need to calculate the distance traveled once the brakes are applied. Then we would compare the distance traveled and distance of the barrier.

Using the second equation of motion:

$s=ut+0.5at^2$

where s is the distance traveled, u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken and a is the acceleration.

It is given that, u=86.0 km/h=23.9 m/s, t=0.75 s, $a=-10.0 m/s^2$

$\Rightarrow s=23.9 m/s \times 0.75s+0.5\times (-10.0 m/s^2)\times (0.75 s)^2=15.11 m$

Since there is sufficient distance between position where car would stop and the barrier, the car would not hit it.

Part b

Answer: 29.6 m/s

The maximum distance that car can travel is $s=44.0 m$

The acceleration is same, $a=-10.0 m/s^2$

The final velocity, v=0

Using the third equation of motion, we can find the maximum initial velocity for car to not hit the barrier:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$0-u^2=-2 \time 10.0m/s^2 \times 44.0 m\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{880 m^2/s^2}=29.6 m/s$

Hence, the maximum speed at which car can travel and not hit the barrier is 29.6 m/s.

Answer:

When substances made of iron are exposed to oxygen and moisture (water), rusting takes place. Rusting removes a layer of material from the surface and makes the substance weak. Rusting is a chemical change.

Answer:

v0 = 25 m/s

vf = 0 m/s

a = -9.80 m/s^2

change in x = 31.89m

but that's only 1/3 of the hight, so i time it by 3 to get 96m

Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place, attract each other with an electrostatic force of -0.9537 N when separated by

scoray [572]

Answer:

<em>The initial charges on the spheres are </em> $6.796\ 10^{-6}\ c$ and $-3.898\ 10^{-6}\ c$

Explanation:

<u>Electrostatic Force </u>

Two charges q1 and q2 separated a distance d exert a force on each other which magnitude is computed by the known Coulomb's formula

$\displaystyle F=\frac{K\ q_1\ q_2}{d^2}$

We are given the distance between two unknown charges d=50 cm = 0.5 m and the attractive force of -0.9537 N. This means both charges are opposite signs.

With these conditions we set the equation

$\displaystyle F_1=\frac{K\ q_1\ q_2}{0.5^2}=-0.9537$

Rearranging

$\displaystyle q_1\ q_2=\frac{-0.9537(0.5)^2}{k}$

Solving for q1.q2

$\displaystyle q_1\ q_2=-2.6492.10^{-11}\ c^2\ \ ......[1]$

The second part of the problem states the spheres are later connected by a conducting wire which is removed, and then, the spheres repel each other with an electrostatic force of 0.0756 N.

The conducting wire makes the charges on both spheres to balance, i.e. free electrons of the negative charge pass to the positive charge and they finally have the same charge:

$\displaystyle q=\frac{q_1+q_2}{2}$
