Answer:

1. 8437500 N

2. The force between the two charges is attractive.

Explanation:

1. Determination of the force between the two charges.

Charge 1 (q₁) = –2.0 C

Charge 2 (q₂) = 3.0 C

Distance apart (r) = 80 m

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Force (F) =?

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × 2 × 3 / 80²

F = 5.4×10¹⁰ / 6400

F = 8437500 N

Thus, the force of attraction between the two charges is 8437500 N

2. From the question given, the charges are:

Charge 1 (q₁) = –2.0 C

Charge 2 (q₂) = 3.0 C

We understood that like charges repels while unlike charges attract. Since the two charges (i.e –2 C and 3 C) has opposite signs, it means they will attract each other.

Thus the force between them is attractive.

A crate lies on a plane tilted at an angle θ = 22.5 ∘ to the horizontal, with μk = 0.19.
ValentinkaMS [17]

A) 2.03 m/s^2

Let's start by writing the equation of the forces along the directions parallel and perpendicular to the incline:

Parallel:

mg sin \theta - \mu_k R = ma (1)

where

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 the acceleration of gravity

\theta=22.5^{\circ}

\mu_k = 0.19 is the coefficient of friction

R is the normal reaction

a is the acceleration

Perpendicular:

R-mg cos \theta =0 (2)

From (2) we find

R=mg cos \theta

And substituting into (1)

mg sin \theta - \mu_k mg cos \theta = ma

Solving for a,

a=g sin \theta - \mu_k g cos \theta = (9.8)(sin 22.5)-(0.19)(9.8)(cos 22.5)=2.03 m/s^2

B) 5.94 m/s

We can solve this part by using the suvat equation

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

Here we have

v = ?

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

a=2.03 m/s^2

s = 8.70 m

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(2.03)(8.70)}=5.94 m/s

A 5kg bag falls a verticle height of 10m before hitting the ground.
g100num [7]

Answer:

u = 7m {s}^{ - 1}

Explanation:

We know that when we don't have air friction on a free fall the mechanical energy (I will symbololize it with ME) is equal everywhere. So we have:

me(1) = me(2)

where me(1) is mechanical energy while on h=10m

and me(2) is mechanical energy while on the ground

Ek(1) + DynamicE(1) = Ek(2) + DynamicE(2)

Ek(1) is equal to zero since an object that has reached its max height has a speed equal to zero.

DynamicE(2) is equal to zero since it's touching the ground

Using that info we have

m \times g \times h   =   \frac{1}{2}  \times m \times u {}^{2} \\

we divide both sides of the equation with mass to make the math easier.

9.8 \times 10 =  \frac{1}{2}  \times u {}^{2}  \\  \frac{98}{2}  = u {}^{2}  \\ u { }^{2} = 49 \\ u = 7

What is meant by a colored shadow? If "shadow" means
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Explanation:

Red, green, and blue are therefore called additive primaries of light. ... When you block two lights, you see a shadow of the third color—for example, block the red and green lights and you get a blue shadow. If you block only one of the lights, you get a shadow whose color is a mixture of the other two.

First, your definition of a shadow is incorrect. A shadow is an area that receives less light than its surroundings because a specific source of light is blocked by whatever is "casting" the shadow. Your example of being outside reveals this. The sky and everything around you in the environment (unless you are surrounded by pitch black buildings) is sending more than enough light into your shadow, to reveal the pen to your eyes. The sky itself diffuses the sunlight everywhere, and the clouds reflect plenty of light when they are not directly in front of the Sun.

If you are indoors and have two light bulbs, you can throw two shadows at the same time, possibly of different darknesses, depending on the brightness of the light bulbs.

It can take a lot of work to get a room pitch black. One little hole or crack in some heavy window curtains can be enough to illuminate the room. There are very few perfectly dark shadows.
