The Coulomb force between two charges is defined as: Fc=(k*Q₁*Q₂)/r² where k=9*10^9 N m² C⁻², Q₁ and Q₂ are charges and r is the distance between those charges. 
In our case:

Q₁=2*10^-6 C
Q₂=4*10^-6 C
r=2 m

Now we simply plug in the numbers into the equation:

Fc={(9*10^9)*(2*10^-6)*(4*10^-6)}/2^2=0.018 N

The Coulombs force between the two positive charges is Fc=0.018 N and it is a repulsive force because both charges are positive.

A 75-kg refrigerator is located on the 70th floor of a skyscraper (300meters a over the ground) What is the potential energy of
Nata [24]
Formula for potential energy is V=mgh, where m is mass in KG, g is earth acceleration (10 m/s^2), and h its height in meters. We know mass, acceleration is constant and also known, we know height also. Lets substitute
V=75*10*300=225000[J]=225[kJ] - its the answer

When you stand on tiptoes on a bathroom scale, there is an increase in
pychu [463]

Answer:

B) Pressure on the scale, not registered as weight.

Explanation:

This is because energy (derived from weight) becomes compiled on the tips of your toes, and therefore does not increase your weight, but simply the pressure at a smaller point

The half-life of the radioactive element beryllium-13 is 5 × 10-10 seconds, and half-life of the radioactive element beryllium-1
telo118 [61]
<h2>Answer: The half-life of beryllium-15 is 400 times greater than the half-life of beryllium-13.</h2>

Explanation:

The half-life h of a radioactive isotope refers to its decay period, which is the average lifetime of an atom before it disintegrates.

In this case, we are given the half life of two elements:

beryllium-13: h_{B-13}=5(10)^{-10}s=0.0000000005s

beryllium-15: h_{B-15}=2(10)^{-7}s=0.0000002s

As we can see, the half-life of beryllium-15 is greater than the half-life of beryllium-13, but how great?

We can find it out by the following expression:

h_{B-15}=X.h_{B-13}

Where X is the amount we want to find:

X=\frac{h_{B-15}}{h_{B-13}}

X=\frac{2(10)^{-7}s}{5(10)^{-10}s}

Finally:

X=400

Therefore:

The half-life of beryllium-15 is <u>400 times greater than</u> the half-life of beryllium-13.

The driver of a car slams on the brakes, causing the car to slow down at a rate of
sdas [7]

Answer:

A. The time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs

B. The initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2

Distance (s) = 256ft

Final velocity (V) = 0

Time (t) =?

Initial velocity (U) =?

A. Determination of the time taken for the car to stop.

Let us obtain an express for time (t)

Acceleration (a) = Velocity (V)/time(t)

a = V/t

Velocity (V) = distance (s) /time (t)

V = s/t

a = s/t^2

Cross multiply

a x t^2 = s

Divide both side by a

t^2 = s/a

Take the square root of both side

t = √(s/a)

Now we can obtain the time as follow

Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2

Distance (s) = 256ft

Time (t) =..?

t = √(s/a)

t = √(256/26)

t = 3.14 secs

Therefore, the time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs

B. Determination of the initial speed of the car.

V = U + at

Final velocity (V) = 0

Deceleration (a) = –26ft/s2

Time (t) = 3.14 sec

Initial velocity (U) =.?

0 = U – 26x3.14

0 = U – 81.64

Collect like terms

U = 81.64 ft/s

Therefore, the initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s
