two negative charges that are both -3.0 C push each other apart with a force of 19.2 N how far apart are the charges

1 answer:

5 0

The electrostatic force between two charges q1 and q2 is given by
$F=k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$
where $k_e =8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant and r is the distance between the two charges.

If we use F=19.2 N and q1=q2=-3.0 C, we can find the value of r, the distance between the two charges by re-arranging the previous formula:
$r= \sqrt{k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{F} }= \sqrt{ 8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} \frac{(-3.0C)^2}{19.2 N} } =6.49 \cdot 10^4 m=64.9 km$

Why is pluto not a planet?

mihalych1998 [28]

Pluto revolves around a star instead of our SUN. So, it's an "Exo-planet" rather than a Planet. It has declared in 2006 by the scientists.

Hope this helps!

If a particle's position is given by x=4-12t+3t^2, where t is in seconds and x is in meters, what is its velocity at t=1 second?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

v = -6m/s

Explanation:

$x=4-12t+3t^2$

$\frac{dx}{dt}=-12+6t$

For t = 1:

$\frac{dx}{dt}=-6$

Write a scientific explanation to describe where earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur and their relation to plate bound

vovangra [49]

Earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur around plate boundaries because of the movement from the plate boundaries. The interactions between the plates by moving under, upon, or sliding against other boundaries may cause earthquakes and volcanoes.
