Gravity is one major force that creates tides. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton explained that ocean tides result from the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon on the oceans of the earth (Sumich, J.L., 1996). Tidal forces are based on the gravitational attractive force.

What is the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force

Effectus [21]

The magnitude of the kinetic friction force, ƒk, on an object is. Where μk is called the kinetic friction coefficient and |FN| is the magnitude of the normal force of the surface on the sliding object. The kinetic friction coefficient is entirely determined by the materials of the sliding surfaces. hope it helps

A +15 nC point charge is placed on the x axis at x = 1.5 m, and a -20 nC charge is placed on the y axis at y = -2.0m. What is th

IceJOKER [234]

Answer: $E=75\ N/m$

Explanation:

Given

First charge of $q_1=15\ nC$ is placed at $x=1.5\ m$

Second charge $q_2=-20\ nC$ is placed at $y=-2\ m$

Electric field is given by

$E=\frac{kq}{r^2}$

Electric field due to $q_1$ is away from it

$E_1=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 15\times 10^{-9}}{(1.5)^2}$

$E_1=60\ N/m$

Electric field due to $q_2$

$E_2=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 20\times 10^{-9}}{2^2}$

$E_2=45\ N/m$

Net electric field will be vector addition of two

$\vec{E_{net}}=\vec{E_1}+\vec{E_2}$

$\vec{E_{net}}=-60\hat{i}-45\hat{j}$

Magnitude of Electric field is

$E=\sqrt{60^2+45^2}$

$E=75\ N/m$
