Answer:
51.82
Explanation:
First of all, let's convert both vectors to cartesian coordinates:
Va = 36 < 53° = (36*cos(53), 36*sin(53))
Va = (21.67, 28.75)
Vb = 47 < 157° = (47*cos(157), 47*sin(157))
Vb = (-43.26, 18.36)
The sum of both vectors will be:
Va+Vb = (-21.59, 47.11) Now we will calculate the module of this vector:
Answer: C) The two particles will move away from each other
Explanation:
When two electrically charged bodies come closer, appears a force that attracts or repels them, depending on the sign of the charges of this two bodies.
This is stated by Coulomb's Law:
"The electrostatic force between two point charges
and
is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance
that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"
Mathematically this law is written as:
Where is a proportionality constant.
Now, if and
have the same sign charge (both positive or both negative), a repulsive force will act on these charges.
