Answer:
-0.045 N, they will attract each other
Explanation:
The strength of the electrostatic force exerted on a charge is given by
where
q is the magnitude of the charge
E is the electric field magnitude
In this problem,
(negative because inward)
So the strength of the electrostatic force is
Moreover, the charge will be attracted towards the source of the electric field. In fact, the text says that the electric field points inward: this means that the source charge is negative, so the other charge (which is positive) is attracted towards it.
Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces applied to an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration:
where in our problem, m is the mass the (child+cart) and a is the acceleration of the system.
We are only concerned about what it happens on the horizontal axis, so there are two forces acting on the cart+child system: the force F of the man pushing it, and the frictional force
acting in the opposite direction. So Newton's second law can be rewritten as
or
since the frictional force is 15 N and we want to achieve an acceleration of
, we can substitute these values to find what is the force the man needs:
I would say its a positive cgarge
It considered as Zero Gage pressure.
Answer:
Displacement is a vector quantity
Explanation:
Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.
Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.
