Answer:

The electrostatic force that will result if both charges are doubled and the distance remains the same is 6.0 * 10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

Coulomb's law of  electricity states that the magnitude of the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance of of separation between them.

In formula; F = KQ₁Q₂/d²

Using the formula for electrostatic force of attraction above to determine the force of between the two charged spheres

Let the charges be Q₁ and Q₂; distance of separation be d, K is a constant

Initially, F₁ = KQ₁Q₂/d² ---- (1)

F₁ = 3.0 * 10⁻⁶ N

when the charges are doubled, Q₁ = 2Q₁; Q₂ = 2Q₂; K and d remains constant

F₂ = 2KQ₁Q₂/d² ----(2)

Dividing equation (2) by (1) to find the ratio of their forces

F₂/F₁ = (2KQ₁Q₂/d²) / KQ₁Q₂/d²

F₂/F₁ = 2

Thus, F₂ is twice F₁.

Since F₁ = 3.0 * 10⁻⁶ N; F₂ = 2 * 3.0 * 10⁻⁶ N

F₂ = 6.0 * 10⁻⁶ N

Therefore, the electrostatic force that will result if both charges are doubled and the distance remains the same is 6.0 * 10⁻⁶ N

how fast will and in what direction will a 20kg object accelerate if one force pushes at a 30 degree angle and another pushes at
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

|a|=2.83\ m/s^2

\theta=75^o

Explanation:

<u>Net Force And Acceleration </u>

The Newton's second law relates the net force applied on an object of mass m and the acceleration it aquires by

\vec F_n=m\vec a

The net force is the vector sum of all forces. In this problem, we are not given the magnitude of each force, only their angles. For the sake of solving the problem and giving a good guide on how to proceed with similar problems, we'll assume both forces have equal magnitudes of F=40 N

The components of the first force are

\vec F_1=

\vec F_1=\ N

The components of the second force are

\vec F_2=

\vec F_2=\ N

The net force is

\vec F_n=

\vec F_n=\ N

The magnitude of the net force is

|F_n|=\sqrt{14.64^2+54.64^2}

|F_n|=\sqrt{3200}=56.57\ N

The acceleration has a magnitude of

\displaystyle |a|=\frac{|F_n|}{m}

\displaystyle |a|=\frac{56.57}{20}

|a|=2.83\ m/s^2

The direction of the acceleration is the same as the net force:

\displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{54.64}{14.64}

\theta=75^o

How far did a frog jump if he travels at a rate of 2.1 m/s for 10 seconds?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

21 m

Explanation:

The motion of the frog is a uniform motion (constant speed), therefore we can find the distance travelled by using

d=vt

where

d is the distance covered

v is the speed

t is the time

The frog in this problem has a speed of

v = 2.1 m/s

and therefore, after t = 10 s, the distance it covered is

d=(2.1)(10)=21 m
