Answer:

4.33\cdot 10^{-6}C, charges are both positive or both negative

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between the two spheres is given by

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

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges on the two spheres

r is the distance between the centres of the two spheres

In this problem, we have

F=+0.30 N is the force

r=75 cm=0.75 m is the distance between the spheres

q_1 =q_2 =q because the two spheres have identical charge

Solving the formula for q, we find

q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(+0.30 N)(0.75 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9}}=4.33\cdot 10^{-6}C

And the two charges have the same sign (so, both positive or both negative), since the sign of the force is positive (+0.30 N), so it is a repulsive force.

Arunner starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to a speed of 8.0 meters per
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

2.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of the object.

Mathematically, it is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

Acceleration is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.

For the runner in this problem, we have:

u = 0 is the initial velocity (he starts from rest)

v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity

t = 4.0 s is the time taken

Substituting, we find

a=\frac{8.0-0}{4.0}=2.0 m/s^2

Unlike most real bulbs, the resistances of the bulbs in the questions below do not change as the current through them changes. A
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Option 1 is correct.

The current passing through the brighter bulb is larger.

Explanation:

The brightness of the bulb is determined by the power, I²R

And since they all have equal resistances, the only factor different that could result in more or less power is the current, I through the bulb.

How can you predict the action of the element
patriot [66]
Stark contrast to paths on energy surfaces or even mechanistic reactions, rule-based and inductive computational approaches to reaction prediction mostly consider only overall transformations. Overall transformations are general molecular graph rearrangements reflecting only the net change of several successive mechanistic reactions. For example, Figure 1 shows the overall transformation of an alkene interacting with hydrobromic acid to yield the alkyl bromide along with the two elementary reactions which compose the transformation.

A man starts walking from home and walks 2 miles at 20° north of west, then 4 miles at 10° west of south, then 3 miles at 15° no
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

a)  R = 2.5 mi   b)  To return to your case you must walk in the opposite direction or θ = 98º

This is 8º north west

Explanation:

This is a distance exercise with vectors the best way to work these is to decompose the vectors and perform the sum on each axis separately

To use the Cartesian system all angles must be measured from the positive side of the x-axis or the signs of the components must be assigned manually depending on the quadrant where they are.

First vector A = 2 to 20º north west

Measured from the positive x axis is θ = 180 -20 = 160º

We use trigonometry to find the components

     Cos 20 = Aₓ / A

     sin 20 = A_{y} / A

    Aₓ = A cos 160 = 2 cos 160

    A_{y}  = A sin160 = 2 sin160

    Aₓ = -1,879 mi

    A_{y}  = 0.684 mi

Second vector B = 4 mi 10º west of the south

Angle θ = 270 - 10 = 260º

    cos 2600 = Bₓ / B

    sin 260 = B_{y} / B

    Bₓ = B cos 260

     B_{y}  = B sin 260

    Bₓ = 4 cos 260

     B_{y}  = 4 sin 260

     Bₓ = -0.6946mi

     B_{y}  = - 3,939 mi

Third vector C = 3 mi to 15 north east

     cos 15 = Cₓ / C

     sin15 = C_{y} / C

     Cₓ = C cos 15

     C_{y} = C sin15

     Cₓ = 3 cos 15

    C_{y} = 3 sin 15

     Cₓ = 2,898 mi

    C_{y} = 0.7765 mi

Now we can find the final position of the person

    X = Aₓ + Bₓ + Cₓ

    X = -1.879 -0.6949 + 2.898

    X = 0.3241 mi

    Y = A_{y} +  B_{y} + C_{y}

    Y = 0.684 - 3.939 +0.7765

    Y = -2.4785 mi

a) We use Pythagoras' theorem

     R = √ (x2 + y2)

     R = √ (0.3241 2 + (-2.4785) 2)

     R = 2.4996 mi

     R = 2.5 mi

b) let's use trigonometry

     Tan θ = y / x

     Tanθ  = -2.4785 / 0.3241

     θ = tan⁻¹ (-7,647)

     θ = -82

Measured from the positive side of the x axis is Te = 360 - 82 = 278º

(90-82) south east

To return to your case you must walk in the opposite direction or Te = 98º

This is 8º north west
