There are two identical small metal spheres with charges 38.9 µC and −27.6399 µC. Thedistance between them is 6 cm. The spheres

are placed in contact then set at their original distance. Calculate the magnitude of the force between the two spheres at the final position. The value of the Coulomb constant is 8.98755 × 109 N · m2 /C 2 . Answer in units of N.

Answer:

2683.3N

Explanation:

According to coulombs law which states that "the force of attraction existing between two charge q1 and q2 is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (d) between them. Mathematically |F|= k|q1| |q2| /d² where;

F is the force of attraction between the charges

q1 and q2 are the charges

d is the distance between them

k is the coulombs constant

Given |q1|= 38.9 × 10^-6C and |q2| = 27.6399×10^-6C d = 6cm = 0.06m

k = 8.98755 × 109 Nm² /C²

Substituting the given data's in the equation we have;

|F| = 8.98755 × 10^9×38.9×10^-6×27.6399×10^-6/0.06²

|F| = 9.66/0.06²

|F| = 9.66/0.0036

|F| = 2683.3N

The magnitude of the force will be 2683.3N

Note that the modulus of the charges changes negative value of q2 to positive value. The opposite signs of the charges doesn't affect the final calculation, it only tells the force of attraction or repulsion between the charges. Since they are unlike charges, they will attract each other in the field.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

the Hudson Bay was covered with alpine glaciers

Explanation:

During the last glacial period, large portions of North America were covered with ice. The majority of the ice was from the ice sheets that were covering Canada and the northern part of the United States, and the alpine glaciers on the mountain ranges. Hudson Bay was all frozen at this point of time. It was not covered with alpine glaciers though, instead it was covered with the ice of the extended ice sheets, with the ice cover reaching up to 2 km in thickness.

Determine whether each of the statements below is true or false, and place it in the appropriate bin. Objects with equal speeds
lisov135 [29]

Objects with equal speeds definitely have equal velocities. -- FALSE.  For equal velocities, they also have to be going in the same direction.

If you are given an object's velocity, you can definitely determine its speed. -- TRUE.  If you know the velocity, then you know both the object's speed and its direction.

If you know the distance an object travels, and the time it takes to do so, you can determine the object's velocity. -- FALSE. Knowing the distance and time, you can figure out the object's speed.  But if you don't also know the direction it's moving, then you can't say what its velocity is.

If an object moves at constant speed, it must also be moving at constant velocity. -- FALSE.  Besides constant speed, it also needs to move in a straight line to have constant velocity.  If it turns, its velocity changes, even if its speed doesn't.

If an object moves at constant velocity, it must also be moving at constant speed. -- TRUE.  Constant velocity means its speed AND its direction are not changing.

Objects with equal velocities definitely have equal speeds. -- TRUE.  If their velocities are equal, then their speeds are equal AND they're moving in the same direction.

After laboring through this one, I'm wondering if there can possibly be any more ways to say the same thing.
