Answer:
A. -2.16 * 10^(-5) N
B. 9 * 10^(-7) N
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Distance between their centres, r = 0.3 m
Charge in first sphere, Q1 = 12 * 10^(-9) C
Charge in second sphere, Q2 = -18 * 10^(-9) C
A. Electrostatic force exerted on one sphere by the other is:
F = (k * Q1 * Q2) / r²
F = (9 * 10^9 * 12 * 10^(-9) * -18 * 10^(-9)) / 0.3²
F = -2.16 * 10^(-5) N
B. When they are brought in contact by a wire and are then in equilibrium, it means they have the same final charge. That means if we add the charges of both spheres and divided by two, we'll have the final charge of each sphere:
Q1 + Q2 = 12 * 10^(-9) + (-18 * 10^(-9))
= - 6 * 10^(-9) C
Dividing by two, we have that each sphere has a charge of -3 * 10^(-9) C
Hence the electrostatic force between them is:
F = [9 * 10^9 * (-3 * 10^(-9)) * (-3 * 10^(-9)] / 0.3²
F = 9 * 10^(-7) N
Answer:
Acceleration = 4 m/s²
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Force = 8 N
Mass = 2 kg
To find the acceleration of the block;
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.
Mathematically, it is given by the formula;
Substituting into the formula, we have;
Acceleration = 4 m/s²
Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy.
F - False.
The nucleus of an atom is positively charge.
