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.

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between a 22 kg kg crate and the floor is 0.27, what horizontal force is required to move
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

58.27 N

Explanation:

the data we have is:

mass: m=22kg

coefficient of friction: \mu =0.27

and we also know the acceleration of gravity is g=9.81m/s^2

We need to do an analysis of horizontal and vertical forces acting on the object:

-------

Vertically the forces acting on the object:

  • Normal force N (acting up from the object)
  • weight: w=mg (acting down from)

so the sum of forces in the vertical axis "y" are:

F_{y}=N-w\\F_{y}=N-mg

from Newton's second Law we know that F=ma, so:

ma_{y}=N-mg

and since the object is not accelerating in the vertical direction (the movement is only horizontal) a_{y}=0, and:

0=N-mg\\N=mg

-----------

now let's analyze the horizontal forces

  • frictional force: f= \mu N and since N=mg  --> f=\mu mg
  • force to move the object: F

and the two forces just mentioned must be opposite, thus the sum of forces in the "x" axis is:

F=ma_{x}=F-f\\ma_{x}=F-\mu mg

and we are told that the crate moves at a steady speed, thus there is no acceleration: a_{x}=0

and we get:

0=F-\mu mg\\F=\mu mg

substituting known values:

F=(0.27)(22kg)(9.81m/s^2)\\F=58.27N

2) A car travels 5 miles north, and then 10 miles south. What is the person's DISTANCE and
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

distance traveled is 15 mi

displacement is 5 mi

Explanation:

Distance takes time into account and adds up all the tiny displacements during the entire period of the trip.

Displacement ignores time and looks only at the change in position from the starting point to the ending point.
