Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{f}{a} \\$

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

$m = \frac{6}{3} \\ = 2$

We have the final answer as

Two objects carry initial charges that are q1 and q2, respectively, where |q2| > |q1|. They are located 0.160 m apart and beh

mart [117]

Answer:

$\rm |q_1|=8.0\times 10^{-7}\ C,\ \ \ |q_2| = 4.6\times 10^{-6}\ C.$

Explanation:

According to the Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two static point charges $\rm q_1$ and $\rm q_1$ , separated by a distance $\rm r$ , is given by

$\rm F = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}.$

where k is the Coulomb's constant.

Initially,

$\rm r = 0.160\ m\\F_i = -1.30\ N.\\\\and \ \ |q_2|>|q_1|.$

The negative sign is taken with force F because the force is attractive.

Therefore, the initial electrostatic force between the charges is given by

$\rm F_i = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}.\\-1.30=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{0.160^2}\\\rm\Rightarrow q_2 = \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{q_1k}\ \ \ ..............\ (1).$

Now, the objects are then brought into contact, so the net charge is shared equally, and then they are returned to their initial positions.

The force is now repulsive, therefore, $\rm F_f = +1.30\ N.$

The new charges on the two objects are

$\rm q_1'=q_2' = \dfrac{q_1+q_2}{2}.$

The new force is given by

$\rm F_f = \dfrac{kq_1'q_2'}{r^2}\\+1.30=\dfrac{k\left (\dfrac{q_1+q_2}{2}\right )\left (\dfrac{q_1+q_2}{2}\right )}{0.160^2}\\\Rightarrow \left (\dfrac{q_1+q_2}{2}\right )^2=\dfrac{+1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\\(q_1+q_2)^2=\dfrac{4\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\\q_1^2+q_2^2+2q_1q_2=\dfrac{4\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\\\\$

Using (1),

$\rm q_1^2+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{q_1k}\right )^2+2\left (\dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{k} \right )=\dfrac{4\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\\q_1^2+\dfrac 1{q_1^2}\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\right )^2-\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k} \right )=0\\q_1^4+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\right )^2-q_1^2\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k} \right )=0$

$\rm q_1^4+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\right )^2-q_1^2\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k} \right )=0\\q_1^4+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{9\times 10^9}\right )^2-q_1^2\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{9\times 10^9} \right )=0\\q_1^4-q_1^2\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{9\times 10^9} \right )+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{9\times 10^9}\right )^2=0$

$\rm q_1^4-q_1^2\left (2.22\times 10^{-11} \right )+\left ( 1.37\times 10^{-23}\right ) =0\\\Rightarrow q_1^2 = \dfrac{-(-2.22\times 10^{-11})\pm \sqrt{(-2.22\times 10^{-11})^2-4\cdot (1)\cdot (1.37\times 10^{-23})}}{2}\\=1.11\times 10^{-11}\pm 1.046\times 10^{-11}.\\=6.4\times 10^{-13}\ \ \ or\ \ \ 2.156\times 10^{-11}\\\Rightarrow q_1 = \pm 8.00\times 10^{-7}\ C\ \ \ or\ \ \ \pm 4.64\times 10^{-6}\ C.$

Using (1),

When $\rm q_1 = \pm 8.00\times 10^{-7}\ C$ ,

$\rm q_2=\dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{\pm 8.00\times 10^{-7}\times 9\times 10^9}=\mp4.6\times 10^{-6}\ C.$

When $\rm q_1=\pm 4.6\times 10^{-6}\ C$ ,

$\rm q_2=\dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{\pm 4.64\times 10^{-6}\times 9\times 10^9}=\mp7.97\times 10^{-7}\ C\approx 8.0\times 10^{-7}\ C.$

Since, $\rm |q_2|>|q_1|$

Therefore, $\rm |q_1|=8.0\times 10^{-7}\ C,\ \ \ |q_2| = 4.6\times 10^{-6}\ C.$

What is the energy equivalent of an object with a mass of 4.1 kg?

siniylev [52]

To determine the energy equivalent of an object, we use the famous equation of Einstein which is E=mc^2 where m is the mass of the object and c is the speed of light (3x10^8 m/s). We calculate as follows:

E = mc^2
E = 4.1 kg (3x10^8 m/s)^2
E = 3.69x10^17 J

How many aluminium ions are needed to cross an ammeter if you want a current of 3A?

Reptile [31]

Assuming that the time needed to cross the ammeter is 1 hour or 3600s, then using coloumb's law,
I x t = F x m / (eq. wt)

Using the given values and formula:
3 x 3600 = 96500 x m / (27/3)

Solving for m,
m = 1.007 g of Al3+
