Answer:

0.51 m

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying coulomb's law,

F = kqq'/r²....................... Equation 1

Where F = Electrostatic force, q = magnitude of the first charge, q' = magnitude of the second charge, r = distance between the two charges, k = coulombs constant

making r the subject of the equation

F×r² = kqq'

r² = kqq'/F

r = √(kqq'/F).................. Equation 2

Given: F = 4.2×10⁻⁴N, q = q' = 1.1×10⁻⁷C, k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 2

r = √(9×10⁹×1.1×10⁻⁷×1.1×10⁻⁷/4.2×10⁻⁴)

r = √(1.1×1.1×9/4.2)(10⁹×10⁻⁷×10⁻⁷×10⁴)]

r = √(2.59×10⁻¹)

r = √(0.259)

r = 0.508

r ≈ 0.51 m

A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. If a man 2 m tall walks from the spotlight toward the building at a speed
gregori [183]

Answer:

the rate of the change of the length of the shadow is - 0.8625 m/s.

The negative(-) sign means the length of the shadow decreases at a rate of 0.8625 m/s.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Let x represent the man's distance from building,

initially x = 1m2

dx/d t= -2.3 m/s

Also Let y represent shadow height

so we determine dy/dt when x is 4m from the building

form the image description of the problem, we see two-like triangles with the same base and height ratios

so

 2 / (12-x) = y / 12

24 = y(12 - x )

y = 24 / (12-x)

dy/dt = 24/(12-x)² × dx/dt

Now at x = 4,

we substitute

dy/dt will be;

⇒ 24/(12 - 4)² × -2.3

= 24/64 - 2.3

= 0.375 × -2.3

dy/dt = - 0.8625 m/s

Therefore, the rate of the change of the length of the shadow is - 0.8625 m/s.

The negative(-) sign means the length of the shadow decreases at a rate of 0.8625 m/s.

Describe a scenario when you could use energy but not do any work.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

When you don't move, you still use energy. This energy is called potential energy, or, stored energy.

When you don't move or do work, you can use energy.

Explanation:

The reading on the scale is

W = m(g + a)

= (77 kg)(9.8 m/s^2 + 2 m/s^2)

= 908.6 N
