Two identical charges, each -8.00 E-5 C, are separated by a distance of 20.0 cm (100 cm = 1 m). What is the force of repulsion?

Coulomb's constant is 9.00 E9 N*m2/C2

F = 1440 N. The repulsion force between two identical charges, each -8.00x10⁻⁵C separated by a distance of 20.0 cm is 1440 N.

The easiest way to solve this problem is using Coulomb's Law given by the equation F=k\frac{|q_{1}*q_{2}|}{r^{2} }, where k is the constant of proportionality or Coulomb's constant, q₁ and q₂ are the charges magnitude, and r is the distance between them.

We have to identical charges of -8.00x10⁻⁵C, are separated by a distance of 20.0 cm, and we need to know the force of repulsion between the charges.

First, we have to convert 20.0 cm to meters.

(20.0 cm x 1m)/100cm = 0.20 m

Using the Coulomb's Law equation:

F = 9.00x10^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}} \frac{|-8.00x10^{-5}C*-8.00x10^{-5}C|}{(0.20m)^{2} }

F = 9.00x10^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}(1.6x10^-7\frac{C^{2} }{m^{2} } })\\F = 1440N

Which of the following helps to explain how hydraulic lifts work?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer : C. Pascal's principle.

Explaination : Pascal's principle (well-known as Pascal's law) states that if a closed container contains a fluid at rest, then a small change in pressure at one side of the fluid is transmitted to each and every part of the fluid and also to the walls of the container without any loss. In a hydraulic lift, we need the same mechanism to work and so we take the help of Pascal's principle.


Hence, the correct option is C. Pascal's principle.

Calculate [H3O+<br><br>] of a 0.150 M acetic acid solution.​
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

[H3O+] = 0.00520 M

Explanation:

The dissociation of acetic acid in water is given by the equation;

CH3COOH + H2O<-------> H3O+ + CH3COO-  

ka =  [H+][C2H3O2-]/[HC2H3O2]

Ka = 1.8 x 10^-5

      = x^2 / 0.150-x  

x = [H3O+]= 0.00520 M

An object is moving at a velocity of 3m/s. It accelerates to a velocity of 5.5m/s over a time of 9 s. What acceleration did it e
alexira [117]

Answer:

Acceleration(a) = \displaystyle\frac{v - u}{t}

v = final velocity = 5.5 m/s

u = initial velocity = 3 m/s

t = time = 9s

\displaystyle a = \frac{3-5.5}{9}

a = \displaystyle\frac{-2.5}{9}

a = -0.278 \ m/s^2 (approx)
