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.

Objects fall near the surface of the earth with a constant downward acceleration of 10 m/s2 . Suppose a falling object is moving
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The final velocity of the object after 2 seconds is 30 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

constant downward acceleration, a =  10 m/s²

initial velocity of the object falling down, v = 10 m/s

time of fall, t = 2 s

The final velocity of the object is given by;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity

v = 10 + (10)(2)

v = 10 + 20

v = 30 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the object after 2 seconds is 30 m/s

A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. Use the vertical motio
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

3.25 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. The equation for his motion is as follows :

h=-16t^2+vt+s

Where

s is the height in feet

For the given condition, the equation becomes:

h=-16t^2+50t+7

When it hits the ground, h = 0

i.e.

-16t^2+50t+7=0

It is a quadratic equation, we find the value of t,

t = 3.25 seconds and t = -0.134 s

Neglecting negative value

Hence, for 3.25 seconds the baseball is in the air before it hits the ground.

Calculate the acceleration of gravity as a function of depth in the earth (assume it is a sphere). You may use an average densit
Ber [7]

Solution :

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth, g $=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

$g=\frac{G(4/3 \pi R^2 \rho)}{R^2}=G(4/3 \pi R \rho)$

Acceleration due to gravity at 1000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-1000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 822486 \times 10^{-8}$

  $=0.822 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

 = 8.23 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 2000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-2000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 673552 \times 10^{-8}$

  $=0.673 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

 = 6.73 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 3000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-3000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 3371 \times 153.86 \times 10^{-8}$

  = 5.18 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 4000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-4000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 153.84 \times 2371 \times 10^{-8}$

  $=0.364 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

 = 3.64 m/s
