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.

The change of energy from one type to another; for example, kinetic to potential, or kinetic
Elena L [17]

Answer:Broadly speaking, all energy in the universe can be categorized as either potential energy or kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy associated with position, like a ball held up in the air. When you let go of that ball and let it fall, the potential energy converts into kinetic energy, or the energy associated with motion.

EXAMPLES: There are five types of kinetic energy: radiant, thermal, sound, electrical and mechanical. Let's explore several kinetic energy examples to better illustrate these various forms.

The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and at the bottom of
Elan Coil [88]

Answer: 230.50 m

Explanation:

We have the following information:

h_{Hg-TOP}=675mmHg=0.675m the barometric reading at the top of the building

h_{Hg-BOT}=695mmHg=0.695m the barometric reading at the bottom of the building

\rho _{air}=1.18 kg/m^{3} density of air

\rho _{Hg}=13600 kg/m^{3} density of mercury

g=9.8/m^{2} gravity

And we need to find the height of the building.

In order to approach this problem, we will firstly use the following equations to find the pressure at the top of the building P_{TOP} and the perssure at the bottom P_{BOT}:

P_{TOP}=\rho _{Hg} g h_{Hg-TOP} (1)

P_{BOT}=\rho _{Hg} g h_{Hg-BOT} (2)

From (1): P_{TOP}=(13600 kg/m^{3})(9.8/m^{2})(0.675m)=89964 Pa (3)

From (2): P_{BOT}=(13600 kg/m^{3})(9.8/m^{2})(0.695m)=92629.6 Pa (4)

Having the pressures at the top and the bottom of the building, we can calculate the variation in pressure \Delta P:

\Delta P=P_{BOT} - P_{TOP} (5)

\Delta P=92629.6 Pa - 89964 Pa=2665.6 Pa (6)

On the other hand, we have a column of air with a cross-section area A and the same height of the building, lets name it h_{air}.

As pressure is defined as the force F exerted on a specific area A, we can write:

\Delta P=\frac{F}{A} (7)

If we isolate F we have:

F= A \Delta P (8)

Also, the force gravity exerts on this column of air (its weight) is:

F=m_{air} g (9)

Knowing the density of air is: \rho_{air}=\frac{m_{air}}{V_{air}} (10)

where the volume of air can be written as: V_{air}=(A)(h_{air}) (11)

Substituting (1) in (10):

\rho_{air}=\frac{m_{air}}{(A)(h_{air}} (12)

Isolating m_{air}:

m_{air}=(\rho_{air}) (A) (h_{air}) (13)

Substituting (13) in (9):

F=(\rho_{air}) (A) (h_{air}) (g) (14)

Matching (8) and (14)

A \Delta P=(\rho_{air}) (A) (h_{air}) (g) (15)

Isolating h_{air}:

h_{air}=\frac{\Delta P}{g \rho_{air}} (16)

Substituting the known and calculated values:

h_{air}=\frac{2665.6 Pa}{(9.8m/s^{2}) (1.18 kg/m^{3})} (17)

Finally:

h_{air}=230.50 m This is the height of the building

Which device is using a motor?
Alexxx [7]
Out of all the options, only body massager which uses electric energy to move back and forth is using motor here. It is because a motor converts electrical energy to Mechanical energy and only massager obeys it among all the options.

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!
