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

5. A man has a weight of 100 Newtons. How much work is done if he climbs 4 meters up a ladder? Plug numbers under the equation.
Virty [35]

Answer:

<h2>400 J</h2>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

workdone = force × distance

From the question we have

workdone = 100 × 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>400 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then
mash [69]
For this case you must first know the definition of density.
 D = m / v
 where,
 m: mass
 v: volume.
 You can then write the following hypothesis:
 IF you know two physical characteristics of an object then you can determine the density. First weigh the object, THEN measure its volume BECAUSE the density is the quotient between the mass and the volume of an object.
