Two foam peanuts become equally charged as they fall out of a cardboard box. Each foam peanut carries a charge of 8 x 10^-4 C. I

f the peanuts are 0.05 m apart, what is the electric force between them? Assume that k = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2. Use Coulomb’s law equation: F = kq1q2/r^2.
A. 115,200 N
B. 2,304,000 N

Answer:

Answer labeled B : 2,304,000 N

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the electric force:

$F_e=9\,\,10^9\, \, \frac{q_1*q_2}{d^2} \\F_e=9\,\,10^9\, \, \frac{8\,10^{-4}*8\,10^{-4}}{0.05^2} \\F_e=2,304,000\,\,N$

which agrees with answer B provided.

Laminar flow, where water moves in approximately straight-line paths, characterizes ________.

densk [106]

Answer:

b. slow-moving streams.

Explanation:

In Fluid Mechanics, the Reynolds numbers indicates the existence of turbulence in fluid streams. Low Reynolds numbers are related with laminar flow. The Reynolds formula is:

$Re = \frac{\rho_{water} \cdot L_{c}}{\mu_{water}} \cdot v$

The Reynolds number is directly proportional to fluid speed. Hence, slow-moving streams are a sound example of laminar flow. The correct answer is B.

When a 20-V emf is placed across two resistors in series, a current of 2.0 A is present in each of the resistors. When the same

ehidna [41]

Answer:

7.24 ohm

Explanation:

Let R1 and R2 are resistance of two resistors.

Emf=E=20 V

Current,I=2 A

Current,I'=10 A

We have to find the magnitude of the greater of the two resistances.

In series

$R=R_1+R_2$

$V=IR$

By using the formula

$20=2(R_1+R_2)$

$R_1+R_2=\frac{20}{2}=10$ ...(1)

In parallel

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}$

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{R_2+R_1}{R_1R_2}$

$R=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}$

$20=10(\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}$

$2=\frac{R_1R_2}{10}$

$R_1R_2=20$

$R_2=\frac{20}{R_1}$

Substitute the value

$\frac{20}{R_1}+R_1=10$

$R^2_1+20=10R_1$

$R^2_1-10R_1+20=0$

$R_1=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{(-10)^2-4(20)}}{2}$

By using quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$R_1=\frac{10\pm 2\sqrt 5}{2}$

$R_1=\frac{10+2\sqrt 5}{2}=5+\sqrt 5=7.24 ohm$

$R_1=\frac{10-2\sqrt 5}{2}=2.76 ohm$

Substitute the value

$R_2=\frac{20}{7.24}=2.76 ohm$

$R_2=\frac{20}{2.76}=7.24 ohm$

Hence, the magnitude of the greater of the two resistance=7.24 ohm

A mass is tied to a string and swung in a horizontal circle with a constant angular speed. show answer No Attempt If this speed

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The tension in the string is quadrupled i.e. increased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

The tension in the string is the centripetal force. This force is given by

$F = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

It follows that $F \propto v^2$ , provided m and r are constant.

When v is doubled, the new force, $F_1$ , is

$F_1 = \dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r} = \dfrac{4mv^2}{r} = 4\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = 4F$

Hence, the tension in the string is quadrupled.
