What physical quantity is a measure of the amount of inertia an object has?

Two charged particles separated by a distance of = 3 and experienced electrostatic forces of = 60 . What would be this force if

klemol [59]

Answer: 539.4 N

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that Coulomb's Law establishes the following:

"The electrostatic force $F_{E}$ between two point charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance $d$ that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"

What is written above is expressed mathematically as follows:

$F_{E}= K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$F_{E}=60 N$ is the electrostatic force

$K=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ are the electric charges

$d=3 m$ is the separation distance between the charges

Then:

$60 N= 8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{(3 m)^{2}}$ (2)

Isolating $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ :

$q_{1}q_{2}=6(10)^{-8} C^{2}$ (3)

Now, if we keep the same charges but we decrease the distance to $d_{1}=1 m$ , (1) is rewritten as:

$F_{E}=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{6(10)^{-8} C^{2}}{(1 m)^{2}}$ (4)

Then, the new electrostatic force will be:

$F_{E}= 539.4 N$ (5) As we can see, the electrostatic force is increased when we decrease the distance between the charges.

A 5kg block is pulled across a table by a horizontal force of 40 N with a frictional force of 8 N opposing the motion. Draw a fo

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Net force on the block is 32 N.

Acceleration of the object is 6.4 m/s².

Explanation:

Let the acceleration of the object be $a$ m/s².

Given:

Mass of the block is, $m=5\ kg$

Force of pull is, $F=40\ N$

Frictional force on the block is, $f=8\ N$

The free body diagram of the object is shown below.

From the figure, the net force in the forward direction is given as:

$F_{net}=F-f=40-8=32\ N$

Now, from Newton's second law of motion, net force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration. So,

$F_{net}=ma\\32=5a\\a=\frac{32}{5}=6.4\ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the object in the forward direction is 6.4 m/s².

Assuming a roughly spherical shape and a density of 4000 kg/m3, estimate the diameter of an asteroid having the average mass of

vredina [299]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Density of asteroid, $\rho=4000\ kg/m^3$

Mass of asteroid, $m=10^{17}\ kg$

We need to find the diameter of the asteroid. The formula of density is given by:

$\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}$

V is the volume of spherical shaped asteroid, $V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$r^3=\dfrac{3M}{4\pi \rho}$

$r^3=\dfrac{3\times 10^{17}\ kg}{4\pi \times 4000\ kg/m^3}$

$r^3=\sqrt{5.96\times 10^{12}}$

r = 2441311.12 m

Diameter = 2 × radius

d = 4882622.24 m

or

$d=4.88\times 10^6\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.
