1) What is radiation? 2) Give two ideas of how to block radiation in space.

1 answer:

7 0

1) the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization.

2) Several feet of concrete or a few inches of dense material (such as lead) are able to block radiation.

Two +1 C charges are separated by 30000 m, what is the magnitude of the force?

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 10 N

Explanation:

Coulomb's Law

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Written as a formula:

$\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

Where:

$k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2$

q1, q2 = the objects' charge

d= The distance between the objects

We have two identical charges of q1=q2=1 c separated by d=30000 m, thus the magnitude of the force is:

$\displaystyle F=9\cdot 10^9\frac{1*1}{30000^2}$

F = 10 N

The magnitude of the force is 10 N

Answer:

A. The applied force should be the same size as the friction force

Explanation:

Whenever we apply a force to an object it moves if the force applied to that object is unbalanced and there is no force or a lesser force to counter it. According to Newton's Second Law of motion, when an unbalanced force is applied to an object it produces an acceleration in the object in its own direction. So, the two forces acting on this box are the frictional force and the applied force in horizontal direction. In order to move the box at constant speed, the applied force must first, overcome the frictional force, so the object can start its motion. Since, the motion has constant velocity, it means no acceleration. So, the force must be balanced in order to avoid acceleration as a consequence of Newton's Second Law of motion. Therefore, the correction in this case will be:

A. The applied force should be the same size as the friction force
