Answer:

1.02\cdot 10^{-8} N, repulsive

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric force between two charged particles is given by Coulomb's law:

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

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges of the two particles

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is:

- repulsive if the two charges have  same  sign

- Attractive if the two charges have opposite signs

In this problem, we have two electrons, so:

q_1=q_2=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the magnitude of the two electrons

r=1.5\cdot 10^{-10} m is their separation

Substituting into the formula, we find the electric force between them:

F=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})^2}{(1.5\cdot 10^{-10})^2}=1.02\cdot 10^{-8} N

And the force is repulsive, since the two electrons have same sign charge.

The two vectors and in fig. 3-28 have equal magnitudes of 10.0 m and the angles are 30° and 105°. find the (a) x and (b) y compo
mylen [45]

You can just use basic trigonometry to solve for the x & y components.

<span>vector a = 10cos(30) i + 10sin(30) j = <5sqrt(3), 5></span>

vector b is only slightly harder because the angle is relative to vector a, and not the positive x-axis. Anyway, this just makes vector b with an angle of 135deg to the positive x-axis.

<span>vector b = 10cos(135) i + 10sin(135) j = <-5sqrt(2), 5sqrt(2)></span>

So now we can do the questions:

r = a + b

r = <5sqrt(3)-5sqrt(2), 5+5sqrt(2)>

(a) 5sqrt(3)-5sqrt(2)

(b) 5+5sqrt(2)

(c)

|r| = sqrt( (5sqrt(3)-5sqrt(2))2 + (5+5sqrt(2))2 )

= 12.175

(d)

θ = tan-1 ( (5+5sqrt(2)) / (5sqrt(3)-5sqrt(2)) )

θ = 82.5deg

Which of the following is not possible? A. Gas flow equals pressure gradient over resistance. B. Resistance equals pressure grad
kaheart [24]

Answer:

C. Pressure gradient equals gas flow over resistance.

Explanation:

As we know that pressure gradient is the driving force for the gas to flow from one point to other point

And we know that the flow rate is directly proportional to the driving force and it inversely depends on the resistance to flow

so we can say

Flow Rate = \frac{Driving \: force}{Resistance}

Flow Rate = \frac{Pressure \: Gradient}{Resistance}

so we can say that correct statements are as below

A. Gas flow equals pressure gradient over resistance.

B. Resistance equals pressure gradient over gas flow.

D. The amount of gas flowing in and out of the alveoli is directly proportional to the difference in pressure or pressure gradient between the external atmosphere and the alveoli.
