Two pellets, each with a charge of 1 microcoulomb (10-6 C), are located 3 cm (0.03 m) apart. What is the electric force between

them? What would be the mass of an object that would experience this same force in the Earth's gravitational field?

Answer:

Therefore the electric force between them is 10 N

Mass of the object that would experience the same force is 1.02 kg.

Explanation:

Coulomb's Law:

The magnitude of electrostatic force of repulsion or attraction between two stationary electrical charged particle is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.

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

q_1, q_2 are two charges.

r is the distance between the charges q₁ and q₂ .

k=9\times 10^{9}  N m²/C²

Here q_1=q_2=10^{-6} \ C , r = 0.03 m.

\therefore F=9\times 10^{9} .\frac{10^{-6}\times10^{-6}}{(0.03)^2} N

      =10 N

Therefore the electric force between them is 10 N

The formula for gravitation force:

F=mg

m= mass

g= 9.8 m/s²

F=10 N

\therefore 10 = 9.8 \times m

\Rightarrow m=\frac{10}{9.8}

       =1.02 kg

Mass of the object that would experience the same force is 1.02 kg.

How will a wave change as it moves from a layer of higher velocity into a lower layer of lower velocity?
denis-greek [22]

Explanation:

Wave is defined as a disturbance or oscillation that travels through space-time, accompanied by a transfer of energy. Wave motion transfers energy from one point to another, often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium.

The velocity of wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second). Longitudinal waves like sound waves travel through a medium.

Therefore, a wave move from a layer of high velocity to that of a lower velocity the wavelength changes (that is, decreases) as it moves.

The world record for the 100.0 meter dash is 9.580 seconds. Find the speed of the runner in miles per hour.
grigory [225]

Answer:

233.1 miles per hours

Explanation:

Speed: This is defined as the ratio of distance to time. The S.I unit of speed is m/s. speed is a vector quantity because it can only be represented by magnitude only. Mathematically, speed can be expressed as,

S = d/t ....................... Equation 1

Where S = speed of the runner, d = distance covered, t = time.

Given: d = 100 meter , t = 9.580 seconds

Conversion:

If, 1 meter =  0.00062 miles

Then, 100 meters = (0.00062×100) miles = 0.62 miles.

Also

If, 3600 s = 1 h

Then, 9.580 s = (1×9.580)/3600 = 0.00266 hours.

Substitute into equation 1

S = 0.62/0.00266

S = 233.1 miles per hours.

Hence the runner speed is 233.1 miles per hours

If a ball is launched horizontally at 40 m/s
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

40m/s

Explanation:

The horizontal component of velocity remains constant because there are no external forces in that direction

By applying motion equations, V= U+ at

where ,

  • v - final velocity
  • u - initial velocity
  • a-acceleration
  • t - time

v = u +at

As no force act on the ball ( we neglect air resistance here) no acceleration is seen,

So v = u = 40m/s

A commuter backs her car out of her garage with an acceleration of 1.40 m/s^2. (a) How long does it take her to reach a speed of
jonny [76]

Answer:

a) It takes her 1.43 s to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s.

b) Her deceleration is - 2.50 m/s²

Explanation:

The equation of velocity for an object that moves in a straight line with constant acceleration is as follows:

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

v = velocty.

v0 = initial velocity.

a = acceleration.

t = time.

a) Using the equation of velocity, let´s consider that the car moves in the positive direction. Then:

v = v0 + a · t

2.00 m/s = 0 m/s + 1.40 m/s² · t

t = 2.00 m/s / 1.40 m/s²

t = 1.43 s

It takes her 1.43 s to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s

b) Let´s use again the equation of velocity, knowing that at t = 0.800 s the velocity is 0 m/s:

v = v0 + a · t

0 = 2.00 m/s + a · 0.800 s

-2.00 m/s / 0.800 s = a

a = -2.50 m/s²

Her deceleration is - 2.50 m/s²
