Answer:

ᵃ. Fₙ= 1.424 x 10¹³ μN

ᵇ. away from the +6 charge

Explanation:

PART A

Using Coulomb's law FOR CHARGES +2 AND +4

F= (Q . q)÷4(3.142)ε(5/100)²

F= 2.848 x 10¹³ μN

for charges of 2 and 6

F₂=(Q . q)÷4(3.142)ε(5/100)

F₂= 4.272 x 10¹³ μN

<em>NET FORCE IS EQUAL TO THE SUM OF ALL THE FORCES ACTING AT A POINT.</em>

<em>FORCE IS A VECTOR QUANTITY, THEREFORE, WE ASSIGN A NEGATIVE SIGN TO ONE OF THE FORCES, as both of them are acting in opposite directions while repelling the +2. </em>

Fₙ= F-F₂

Fₙ= 4.272 x 10¹³ - 2.848 x 10¹³

Fₙ= 1.424 x 10¹³ μN

PART B

The force caused by the +6 charge is twice as much as the one caused by the +4 charge on the same +2 charge, therefore the repulsion caused by the greater charge is greater and has an effect of pushing the +2 charge away from it. However there is also a force of repulsion by the +4 charge which is NOT AS STRONG as compared to the +6 charge, therefore it is less likely to push away the +2 charge

A 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

m_i = Mass of ice = 50 g

T_i = Initial temperature of water and Aluminum = 30°C

L_f = Latent heat of fusion = 3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C

m_w = Mass of water = 200 g

c_w = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

m_{Al} = Mass of Aluminum = 80 g

c_{Al} = Specific heat of Aluminum = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation of the system's heat exchange is given by

m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C

The final equilibrium temperature is 9.50022°C

Physics, calculating net force. Please work it out for me
Margarita [4]

Answer:

F = 2985.125 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of curvature of the roller coaster, r = 8 m

Speed of Micheal, v = 17 m/s

Mass of body, m = 65 kg  We need to find the net force acting on Micheal. Net force act the bottom of the circle is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg\\\\F=m(\dfrac{v^2}{r}+g)\\\\=65(\dfrac{17^2}{8}+9.8)\\\\=2985.125\ N

So, the net force is 2985.125 N.

Real world situation to explain the relationship between work and power
In-s [12.5K]
-- You and your partner both get the same job to do:

Each of you gets a pallet of bricks, and you have to
put the bricks up on the bed of a truck, by hand.
Both pallets have the same number of bricks.

The pallet is way too heavy to lift, so you both cut the bands
that hold the bricks, and you lift the bricks from the pallet onto
the truck, by hand, two or three or four bricks at a time.

-- You get your pallet of bricks onto the truck in 45 minutes.

-- Your partner gets his pallet of bricks onto the truck in 3 days.

-- Work = (force) times (distance).

    You and your partner both lifted the same amount of weight
     up to the same height.  You both did the same amount of work.

-- Power = (work done) divided by (time it takes to do the work) .

  
Your partner took roughly 96 times as long as you took
   to do the same amount of work. 
   You did it faster.  He did it slower.
   You produced more power.  He produced less power.
