Answer:

\large \boxed{42\, \mu \text{C}}$

Explanation:

The formula for the force exerted between two charges is

F=k \dfrac{ q_1q_2}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb constant.

The charges are identical, so we can write the formula as

F=k\dfrac{q^{2}}{r^2}

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{4.0 N}& = & 8.988 \times 10^{9}\text{ N$\cdot$m$^{2}$C$^{-2}$} \times \dfrac{q^{2}}{\text{(2.0 m)}^{2}}\\\\4.0 & = & 2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$} \times q^{2}\\\\q^{2} & = & \dfrac{4.0}{2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$}}\\\\& = & 1.78 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C}^{2}\\q & = & 4.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ C}\\& = & 42\, \mu \text{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{Each charge has a value of $\large \boxed{\mathbf{42\, \mu }\textbf{C}}$}

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

All the three quantities will have non zero joules.

Explanation:

At the initial position of rest the system will have only gravitational potential energy while the other 2 quantities will be zero.

when the system reaches a height (y-h) only kinetic energy will be zero while the other 2 quantities will be non zero

At the position of (y-h/2) all the 3 quantities will be non zero.

In a pool game, the cue ball, which has an initial speed of 3.0 m/s, make an elastic collision with the eight ball, which is ini
zhenek [66]

Explanation:

Given

initial speed(u)=3 m/s

mass of each ball is m

Let the cue ball is moving in x direction initially

In elastic collision Energy and momentum is conserved

Let u be the initial velocity and v_1 , v_2 be the final velocity of 8 ball and cue ball respectively

\frac{mu^2}{2}+0=\frac{mv^2_1}{2}+\frac{mv^2_2}{2}

The angle after which cue ball is deflected is given by

\theta _1=90-40=50^{\circ}

Conserving momentum in x direction

mu=mv_1cos40+mv_2cos50

3=v_1cos40+v_2cos50

Along Y axis

0+0=v_1sin40-v_2sin50

v_1sin40=v_2sin50

substitute the value of v_1

we get v_2=1.912 m/s

v_1=2.27 m/s

A model airplane of mass 0.6 kg is attached to a horizontal string and flies in a horizontal circle of radius 6 m, making 1.6 re
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

speed= 12.15\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

In this question we have given

mass of airplane=.6 Kg

Radius of horizontal circle,r=6m

Time taken to complete 1.6 revolution=5s

Therefore time taken to complete 1 revolution, t=\frac{5}{1.6}

t=3.1 s

We have to find the speed of airplane

We will first find the distance covered by airplane in tracing one circle which is equal to circumference of circle

We know that

Circumference,d = 2 \pi \times r

or d=2\times 3.14 \times 6

d=37.68 m

We know that speed=\frac{d}{t}............(1)

Put value of d and t in equation 1

speed=\frac{37.68}{3.1}

speed= 12.15\frac{m}{s}
