Answer: 5.214(10)^{11} N

Explanation:

According to <u>Coulomb's Law:</u>  

<em>"The electrostatic force F_{E} between two point charges q_{1} and q_{2} is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance d that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them".</em>

<em />

Mathematically this law is written as:

F_{E}=K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}}  

Where:

F_{E}  is the electrostatic force

K=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} is the Coulomb's constant  

q_{1}=5.8 C and q_{2}=6.4 C are the electric charges

d=80 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=0.8 m is the separation distance between the charges

Solving:

F_{E}=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{(5.8 C)(6.4 C)}{(0.8 m)^{2}}  

F_{E}=5.214(10)^{11} N

You are helping your friend move a new refrigerator into his kitchen. You apply a horizontal force of 275 N in the positive x di
Volgvan

Answer:

f = 347.08 N

Explanation:

The frictional force exerted by the floor on the refrigerator is given as follows:

f = \mu R = \mu W

where,

f = frictional force = ?

μ = coefficient of static friction = 0.58

W = Weight of refrigerator = mg

m = mass of refrigerator = 61 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

f = \mu mg\\f = (0.58)(61\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)\\

<u>f = 347.08 N</u>
