Answer:

Approximately 0.979 J.

Explanation:

Assume that the two charges are in vacuum. Apply the coulomb's law to find their initial and final electrical potential energy \mathrm{EPE}.

\displaystyle \mathrm{EPE} = \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r},

where

  • The coulomb's constant k = 8.99\times 10^{9}\; \rm N\cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2},
  • q_1 and q_2 are the sizes of the two charges, and
  • r is the separation of (the center of) the two charges.

Note that there's no negative sign before the fraction.

Make sure that all values are in SI units:

  • q_1 = -7\rm \;\mu C = -7\times 10^{-6}\; C;
  • q_2 = 4\rm \;\mu C = 4\times 10^{-6}\; C;
  • Initial separation: \rm 20\; cm = 0.20\; cm;
  • Final separation: \rm 90\; cm = 0.90\; cm.

Apply Coulomb's law:

Initial potential energy:

\begin{aligned} \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r} &= \frac{8.99\times 10^{9}\times (-7\times 10^{-6})\times 4\times 10^{-6}}{0.20}\\&= \rm -1.2586\; J\end{aligned}.

Final potential energy:

\begin{aligned} \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r} &= \frac{8.99\times 10^{9}\times (-7\times 10^{-6})\times 4\times 10^{-6}}{0.90}\\&= \rm -0.279689\; J\end{aligned}.

The final potential energy is less negative than the initial one. In other words, the two particles gain energy in this process. The energy difference (final minus initial) will be equal to the work required to move them at a constant speed.

\begin{aligned}\text{Work required} &= \text{Final EPE} - \text{Initial EPE}\\&= \rm  -0.279689\; J - (-1.2586\; J)\\&\approx 0.979\; J\end{aligned}.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

470 N.

Explanation:

Using equations of motion:

S = vi*t + 1/2*(a*(t^2))

Given:

S = 0.65 m

t = 1.5 s

vi = 0 m/s

0.65 = 1/2 * (a * (1.5)^2)

a = 1.3/2.25

= 0.578 m/s^2

Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

= 92 * 0.578

= 53.16 N

Total force = 420 + 53.16

= 473.16 N

= 470 N.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

pressure= force/area

A solid resting on a horizontal surfaceexerts a normal contactforce equals to its weight. The pressure of the solid on the surface depends on the area of contact. (b) the area of contact between the two surfaces. The greater the force or the smaller the area the greater the pressure.
