Answer:

735 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Weight (W) = 49 N

Height (h) = 15 m

Potential energy =?

Potential energy is simply defined as the product of weight of the object and height to which the object is raised. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Potential energy = weight × height

With the above formula, we can obtain the potential energy of the coconut as follow:

Weight (W) = 49 N

Height (h) = 15 m

Potential energy =?

Potential energy = weight × height

Potential energy = 49 × 15

Potential energy = 735 J

Thus, the potential energy of the coconut is 735 J

adoni [48]

Answer:

The value of new coulomb force is 1.43 N.

Explanation:

Given;

Coulomb's force in vacuum (air), $F_v$ = 10 N

dielectric constant, K = 7

The Coulomb's force between two charges separated by a distance r in a vacuum is given as;

$F_v = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

The Coulomb's force between two charges separated by a distance r in a medium with dielectric constant is given as

$F_m = \frac{1}{4\pi K\epsilon_0} \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Take the ratio of the two forces;

$\frac{F_v}{F_m} = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} \ \times \ \frac{4\pi K\epsilon_0 r^2}{q_1q_2} = K\\\\\frac{F_v}{F_m} = K\\\\\frac{10}{F_m} = 7\\\\F_m = \frac{10}{7} \\\\F_m = 1.43 \ N$

Therefore, the value of new coulomb force is 1.43 N.
