Answer:

Explanation:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.

Explanation:

gravity is the force that gives weight to objects and causes them to fall on the ground when dropped. 2 major factors MASS and DISTANCE affects the strength of gravitational force on an object

Two charged particles are a distance of 1.62 m from each other. One of the particles has a charge of 7.10 nc, and the other has

k0ka [10]

Answer:

A. F=107.6nN

B. Repulsive

Explanation:

According to coulombs law, the force between two charges is express as

F=(Kq1q2) /r^2

If the charges are of similar charge the force will be repulsive and if they are dislike charges, force will be attractive.

Note the constant K has a value 9*10^9

Hence for a charge q1=7.10nC=7.10*10^-9, q2=4.42*10^-9 and the distance r=1.62m

If we substitute values we have

F=[(9×10^9) ×(7.10×10^-9) ×(4.42×10^-9)] /(1.62^2)

F=(282.4×10^-9)/2.6244

F=107.6×10^-9N

F=107.6nN

B. Since the charges are both positive, the force is repulsive

Two electrons travel towards each other at 0.2 c parallel to the laboratory x-axis. What is the relative velocity of one electro

Leya [2.2K]

1) In the reference frame of one electron: 0.38c

To find the relative velocity of one electron with respect to the other, we must use the following formula:

$u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}$

where

u is the velocity of one electron

v is the velocity of the second electron

c is the speed of light

In this problem:

u = 0.2c

v = -0.2c (since the second electron is moving towards the first one, so in the opposite direction)

Substituting, we find:

$u'=\frac{0.2c+0.2c}{1+\frac{(0.2c)(0.2c)}{c^2}}=\frac{0.4c}{1+0.04}=0.38c$

2) In the reference frame of the laboratory: -0.2c and +0.2c

In this case, there is no calculation to be done. In fact, we are already given the speed of the two electrons; we are also told that they travel in opposite direction, so their velocities are

+0.2c

-0.2c
