Answer:

the electrostatic force between the two protons is 5.775 x 10⁻²⁹ N.

Explanation:

Given;

charge of protons, q = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

distance between the two charges, r = 2.0 m

The electrostatic force between the two protons is calculated as;

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

where;

k is coulomb's constant, = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

$F = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.602 \times 10^{-19})^2}{(2)^2} \\\\F = 5.775 \times 10^{-29} \ N$

Therefore, the electrostatic force between the two protons is 5.775 x 10⁻²⁹ N.

the acceleration of a rocket traveling upward is given by a=(6+.02s)m/s^s, where s is in meters. Determine the rocket's velocity

NikAS [45]

Answer:

a) velocity v = 322.5m/s

b) time t = 19.27s

Explanation:

Note that;

ads = vdv

where

a is acceleration

s is distance

v is velocity

Given;

a = 6 + 0.02s

so,

$\int\limits^s_0 {a} \, ds = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ \int\limits^s_0 {6+0.02s} \, ds = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ 6s + \frac{0.02s^{2} }{2} = \frac{1}{2} v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{12s + 0.02s^{2} } .....................1 \\\\\\$

Remember that

$v = \frac{ds}{dt} \\\frac{ds}{v} = dt\\\int\limits^s_0 {\frac{ds}{\sqrt{12s+0.02s^{2} } } } \, ds = \int\limits^t_0 {} \, dt \\t= (5\sqrt{2} ) ln \frac{| [s + 300 + \sqrt{(s^{2} + 600s)} ] |}{300} .......2$

substituting s = 2km =2000m, into equation 1

v = 322.5m/s

substituting s = 2000m into equation 2

t = 19.27s

A small object of mass 3.82 g and charge -16.5 µC is suspended motionless above the ground when immersed in a uniform electric f

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

2271.16N/C upward

Explanation:

The diagram well illustrate all the forces acting on the mass. The weight is acting downward and the force is acting upward in other to balance the weight.since the question says it is motionless, then indeed the forces are balanced.

First we determine the downward weight using

$W=mg\\g=9.81m/s^{2}$

Hence for a mass of 3.82g 0r 0.00382kg we have the weight to be

$W=0.00382kg*9.81m/s^{2}$

$W=0.0375N$

To calculate the electric field,

$E=f/q\\E=0.0375/16.5*10^{-6} \\E=2271.16N/C$

Since the charge on the mass is negative, in order to generate upward force, there must be a like charge below it that is repelling it, Hebce we can conclude that the electric field lines are upward.

Hence the magnitude of the electric force is 2271.16N/C and the direction is upward

Which factor indicates the amount of charge on the source charge?

Westkost [7]

Answer:

B. the number of field lines on the source charge

Explanation:

As we know that electric flux is defined as the number of electric field lines passing through a given area.

So here electric flux due to a point charge "q" is given by

so here we know that flux depends on the magnitude of charge and hence we can say that number of filed lines originating from a point charge will depends on the magnitude of the charge.
