The distance between two protons to generate 950N of force is 0.49 X 10⁻¹⁵ m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Mass of man, m = 100 kg

Force between man and earth = 980 N

Charge of proton, q = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹C

Same force is generated between them

Distance between two protons, r = ?

According to Coulomb's law:

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

where,

k is Coulomb's constant

k = 9 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

According to the question:

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

Solving the equation:

950  = (9X10^9) X\frac{(1.6 X 10^-^1^9 X 1.6 X 10^-^1^9)}{r^2} \\\\r^2 = \frac{(9 X 10^9) (1.6 X 10^-^1^9 X 1.6 X 10^-^1^9)}{950} \\\\r^2 = 0.024 X 10^-^2^9\\\\r^2 = 0.24 X 10^-^3^0\\\\r = 0.49 X 10^-^1^5 m

Therefore, the distance between two protons to generate 950N of force is 0.49 X 10⁻¹⁵ m

What is the volume of a rock with a density of 3.00 g/cm3 and a mass of 600g?
Mademuasel [1]
The equation of D = m/V

Where D = density
m = mass
and V = volume

We are solving for V, so with the manipulation of variables we multiply V on both sides giving us 
V(D) = m 
now we divide D on both sides giving us
V = m/D 

We know our mass which is 600g and our density is 3.00 g/cm^3
so
V = 600g/3.00g/cm^3 = 200cm^3  or 200mL

a cubic centimeter (cm^3) is one of the units for volume. It's exactly like mL. 1 cm^3 = 1 mL
 
If you wish to change it to L, you'd have to convert.
