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

In 1935, a French destroyer, La Terrible, attained one of the fastest speeds for any standard warship. Suppose it took 3.0 min a
REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

From newton's equation of motion of uniform acceleration

v = u + at

where v is final velocity , u is initial velocity , a is acceleration and time is t .

putting the values

v  =  0 + .5 x 3 x 60  ( time in second = 3 x 60 s )

= 90 m /s

So  , final velocity is 90 m /s .

What is the kinetic energy of a an 80kg football player running at 8 m/s?
Ugo [173]
In the question it is already given that the football player is 80 kg.
Then the mass of the football player = 80 kg
Velocity at which the football player is running = 8 m/s
<span>Kinetic Energy = 0.5 • mass • square of velocity
Now we have to put the known data in this equation to find the actual velocity of the footballer.
</span> <span></span>So
Kinetic Energy of the footballer = 0.5 * 80 * (8 * 8)
                                                 = 0.5 * 80 * 64
                                                 = 2560
So the Kinetic energy of the footballer is 2560 joules

A force of 20.0 N is applied to a 3.00 kg object for 4.00 seconds. Calculate the impulse experienced by the object.​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Impulse = 80Ns

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 3kg

Force = 20N

Time = 4 seconds

To find the impulse experienced by the object;

Impulse = force * time

Impulse = 20*4

Impulse = 80Ns

Therefore, the impulse experienced by the object is 80 Newton-seconds.

Find the velocity, acceleration, and speed of a particle with the given position function. r(t = t2i 6tj 4 ln t k
artcher [175]
1st derivative gives velocity;
d r(t)/ dt = 2t i + 6 j + 4/t k

2nd derivative gives acceleration;
d^2 r(t)/ dt^2 = 2 i - 4/ t^2

Speed ;
Square root of (4 t^2 + 36 + 16/ t^2)

For a given time, like 2 seconds, t will be 2. And answer of speed will be scalar.
