Two equal, but oppositely charged particles are attracted to each other electrically. The size of the force of attraction is 48.

galina1969 [7]

Given:

The force of attraction is F = 48.1 N

The separation between the charges is

$\begin{gathered} r=\text{ 60.9 cm} \\ =\text{ 60.9}\times10^{-2}\text{ m} \end{gathered}$

Also, the magnitude of charge q1 = q2 = q.

To find the magnitude of charge.

Explanation:

The magnitude of charge can be calculated by the formula

$\begin{gathered} F=\frac{k(2q)}{r^2} \\ q=\frac{Fr^2}{2k} \end{gathered}$

Here, k is the Coulomb's constant whose value is

$k\text{ = 9}\times10^9\text{ N m}^2\text{ /C}^2$

On substituting the values, the magnitude of charge will be

$\begin{gathered} q=\frac{48.1\times(60.9^\times10^{-2})^2}{2\times9\times10^{^9}} \\ =9.91\times10^{-10}\text{ C} \\ =9.91\times10^{-4}\text{ }\mu C \end{gathered}$

Thus, the magnitude of each charge is 9.91 x 10^(-4) micro Coulombs.

Geologists know the past temperature of the planet based on rock and fossil evidence. Why do you think it is difficult to determ

Basile [38]

Answer:

I think it is difficult to determine what has caused climate change in the distant past because it must have been a long time ago so geologists can't carry out different experiments and figure out what gases the planet had conjured, so geologists can only make predictions based off the evidence they currently have from what the planet looked like before. The planet must have changed over the years, therefore the climate has also changed in the future, so they cannot work with how the planet looked in the past.

Gravity is the force that keeps us on the Earth. It pulls us towards the center of the Earth. If you were to move from the surfa

Nikitich [7]

<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy $U_{p}$ will be:

$U_{p}=mgh$

Where $m$ is the mass of the object, $g$ the acceleration due gravity and $h$ the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of $U_{p}$ is directly proportional to the height.

a 4kg metal block absorbs 5000j of energy and increases to a temperature of 22°c. the metal has a specific heat capacity of 250j

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

17 °C

Explanation:

From specific Heat capacity.

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................. Equation 1

Where Q = Heat absorb by the metal block, c = specific heat capacity of the metal block, m = mass of the metal block, t₂ = final temperature, t₁ = Initial temperature.

make t₁ the subject of the equation

t₁ = t₂-(Q/cm)............... Equation 2

Given: t₂ = 22 °C, Q = 5000 J, m = 4 kg, c = 250 J/kg.°c

Substitute into equation 2

t₁ = 22-[5000/(4×250)

t₁ = 22-(5000/1000)

t₁ = 22-5

t₁ = 17 °C

Starting from rest, a 2.1x10-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exerts

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

1.327363 m/s

0.00090243 m

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

m = Mass of flea

Energy

$E=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow 3.7\times 10^{-4}=2.1\times 10^{-4}(v^2-0)\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{3.7\times 10^{-4}}{2.1\times 10^{-4}}}\\\Rightarrow v=1.32736\ m/s$

The velocity of the flea when leaving the ground is 1.327363 m/s

$W=F\times s\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{W}{F}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-4}}{0.41}\\\Rightarrow s=0.00090243\ m$

The flea will travel 0.00090243 m upward
