Answer: 34.65 N towards charge 8 μC.

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by:

F =k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

where, k is the Coulomb constant = 8.9875 × 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q₁ and q₂ are the two charges separated by distance r.

The distance between charges 8 μC and -7 μC is r = 2 cm -(-10 cm) = 12 cm = 0.12 m

The force between these charges is:

F = 8.9875 \times 10^9 Nm^2/C^2 \times \frac{8\times 10^{-6}C\times (-7\times10^{-6}C)}{(0.12m)^2} = -34.95 N

Negative sign implies it is an attractive force.

The distance between -3 μC charge and -7 μC charge is r' = 10 cm -2 cm = 8 cm = 0.8 m.

The electrostatic force between these charges is:

F' = 8.9875\times 10^9Nm^2/C^2\times \frac{(-3 \times 10^{-6}C)\times (-7\times 10^{-6}C)}{(0.8m)^2} = 0.295 N

It is a repulsive force.

Net force on the -7 μC charge is:

Fn = F + F'

we can add them directly as they are acting in one direction along the x-axis.

Fn = -34.95 N + 0.295 = -34.65 N

Thus, the net force is attractive in nature and it is towards charge 8 μC.

First satellite was Sputnik and it was a race then to send satellites!! Everyone starts experimenting how to launch.

first try was on a dog , Laika !! It was send to space as it is long after sputnik is placed in orbit !!

Now you know everyone knows rocket science and the most active are ISRO (India) and NASA (USA) !!

Two resistors, R1=3.85 Ω and R2=6.47 Ω , are connected in series to a battery with an EMF of 24.0 V and negligible internal resi
Bond [772]

Answer:

(a) 2.33 A

(b) 15.075 V

Explanation:

From the question,

The total resistance (Rt) = R1+R2 = 3.85+6.47

R(t) = 10.32 ohms.

Applying ohm's law,

V = IR(t)..........equation 1

Where V = Emf of the battery, I = current flowing through the circuit, R(t) = combined resistance of both resistors.

Note: Since both resistors are connected in series, the current flowing through them is the same.

Therefore,

I = V/R(t)............. Equation 2

Given: V = 24 V, R(t) = 10.32 ohms

Substitute these values into equation 2

I = 24/10.32

I = 2.33 A.

Hence the current through R1 = 2.33 A.

V2 = IR2.............. Equation 3

V2 = 2.33(6.47)

V2 = 15.075 V

When reaching a boundary between two media (1 and 2), an incident ray is partially reflected and partially refracted. The ray is
podryga [215]

Answer: critical angle, sin^-1 (n2/n1)

Explanation: the angle of incidence at which the retracted ray makes an angle of 90° with the normal is known as the critical angle.

Snell's law defined refraction mathematically as shown below

n1 sin θi = n2 sin θr

n1 = refractive index of the first medium

n2 = refractive index of the second medium

θi = angle of incidence

θr = angle of refraction

When the refrafted ray is perpendicular to the normal, the angle of refraction (θr) is 90° hence making the angle of incidence (θi) the critical angle θc

By substituting these conditions into the Snell's law, we have that

n1 sin θc = n2 sin 90

According to trigonometry, the value of sin 90 is 1, hence we have that

n1 sin θc =n2

sin θc = n2/n1

θc = sin^-1 (n2/n1)
