Unlike charges attracting each other
Answer:
An apple in free fall accelerates toward the Earth with a free fall acceleration, g. The force of the apple on the Earth also causes the Earth to accelerate toward the falling apple. By Newton's Third Law, the force of the Earth on the apple is exactly equal and opposite to the force of the apple on the Earth. By Newton,s Second law, the force of the Earth on the apple is equal to the mass of the apple times g , the accelerations due to gravity. And, the force of the the apple on the Earth is equal to the mass of the Earth times the acceleration of the Earth toward the apple. In conclusion, the magnitude of the forces are equal, or
F ( apple on the Earth) = F( the Earth on the apple) or
M( mass of the earth) x a( the acceleration of the earth toward the apple) = m(mass of the apple) x g( the acceleration of the apple toward the Earth) or
a = (m/M) g

Explanation:
The strength of the electric field produced by a charge Q is given by
where
Q is the charge
r is the distance from the charge
k is the Coulomb's constant
In this problem, the electric field that can be detected by the fish is
and the fish can detect the electric field at a distance of
Substituting these numbers into the equation and solving for Q, we find the amount of charge needed:
Answer:
A.) 1430 metres
B.) 80 seconds
Explanation:
Given that the train accelerates from rest at 1.1m/s^2 for 20s. The initial velocity U will be:
U = acceleration × time
U = 1.1 × 20 = 22 m/s
It then proceeds at constant speed for 1100 m
Then, time t will be
Time = distance/ velocity
Time = 1100/22
Time = 50 s
before slowing down at 2.2m/s^2 until it stops at the station.
Deceleration = velocity/time
2.2 = 22/t
t = 22/2.2
t = 10s
Using area under the graph, the distance between the two stations will be :
(1/2 × 22 × 20) + 1100 + (1/2 × 22 × 10)
220 + 1100 + 110
1430 m
The time taken between the two stations will be
20 + 50 + 10 = 80 seconds
