Great question!

Thunder and lightning happen at the same time, but because light travels faster than sound, we see lightning before we hear thunder.

Because the light from it travels to you about 874 thousand times
as fast as the sound does, so the hearing part falls behind the seeing
part.

You want to place a mirror at a blind turn on the staircase in your house. Which would be best suited for this purpose?

Eduardwww [97]

You can't see beyond a blind turn, so a mirror would allow you to see around the corner.

Answer:

$7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is attractive if the charges have opposite sign and repulsive if the charges have same sign.

In this problem, we have:

$r=0.070 cm =7\cdot 10^{-4} m$ is the distance between the charges

$q_1=q_2=q$ since the charges are identical

$F=9.0\cdot 10^{-9}N$ is the force between the charges

Re-arranging the equation and solving for q, we find the charge on each drop:

$F=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9.0\cdot 10^{-9})(7\cdot 10^{-4})^2}{8.99\cdot 10^9}}=7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C$

A wire carries a steady current of 2.60 A. A straight section of the wire is 0.750 m long and lies along the x axis within a uni

ad-work [718]

Answer:

The magnetic force on the section of wire is $-2.925\hat{j}\ N$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Current $I = 2.60\hat{i}\ A$

Length = 0.750 m

Magnetic field $B = 1.50\hat{k}\ T$

We need to calculate the magnetic force on the section of wire

Using formula of magnetic force

$\vec{F}=l\vec{I}\times\vec{B}$

$\vec{F}=0.750\times2.60\hat{i}\times1.50\hat{k}$

Since, $\hat{i}\times\hat{k}=-\hat{j}$

$\vec{F}=-2.925\hat{j}\ N$

Hence, The magnetic force on the section of wire is $-2.925\hat{j}\ N$ .
