Answer: 1.04N
Explanation:
Given
q1 = 2*10^-6C
q2 = 3.6*10^-6C
r = 0.25m
k = 9*10^9
Magnitude of electrostatic force can be calculated by using coulomb's law. Coulomb's law states that, "the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them."
F =(kq1q2) / r²
F = (9*10^9 * 2*10^-6 * 3.6*10^-6) / 0.25²
F = 0.0648/0.0625
F = 1.04N
The type of electrostatic force between the charges is the repulsive force
Answer:
30.63 m
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s
Maximum height (h) =.?
Next, we shall determine the time taken to reach the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:
Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s
Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height =.?
T = 2t
5 = 2t
Divide both side by 2
t = 5/2
t = 2.5 s
Thus, the time (t) taken to reach the maximum height is 2.5 s
Finally, we shall determine the maximum height reached by the ball as follow:
Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height = 2.5 s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Maximum height (h) =.?
h = ½gt²
h = ½ × 9.8 × 2.5²
h = 4.9 × 6.25
h = 30.625 ≈ 30.63 m
Therefore, the maximum height reached by the cannon ball is 30.63 m
