Speed, (scalar quantity), is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (scalar quantity) per time ratio. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes. The average velocity is the displacement or position change (vector quantity) per time ratio.

A proton is 0.9 meters away from a 1.4 C charge. What is the magnitude of the electric force between the proton and the charge
Digiron [165]

Answer:

F = 2.49 x 10⁻⁹ N

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged bodies is given by Colomb's Law:

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\

where,

F = Electrostatic Force = ?

k = colomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q₁ = charge on proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

q₂ = second charge = 1.4 C

r = distace between charges = 0.9 m

Therefore,

F = \frac{(9\ x\ 10^9\ N.m^2/C^2)(1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)(1.4\ C)}{(0.9\ m)^2}

<u>F = 2.49 x 10⁻⁹ N</u>

If you are given the mass of an object in pounds, the time in seconds, and the distance in feet, what must you do before you can
Alexandra [31]

Answer: First you must convert pound in kilogram, and feet in meter

Explanation:

To calculate momentum we use .

p=m*V

mass-m

speed-V

distance and time are used to calculate velocity(speed)

You are given :

 mass- in pounds

for distance - in feet

before you do any calculation first you have to convert pounds in kilograms

and feet in meters.
