Answer:
24 N
Explanation:
= mass of the cube = 
Consider the three cubes together as one.
= mass of the three cubes together = 
= acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²
= Force applied on the combination
Using Newton's second law
= Force by the left cube on the middle cube
Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have
Answer:
a)
two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign. both charges are positive(+) or Negative (-)
b)
both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C
Explanation:
Given that;
L = 0.26 m
k = 180 N/m
x = 0.039 m
a)
we know that two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign.
b)
Spring force F = kx
F = 180 × 0.039
F = 7.02 N
Now, Electrostatic force F = Keq²/r²
where r = L + x = ( 0.26 + 0.039 )
we know that proportionality constant in electrostatics equations Ke = 9×10⁹ kg⋅m3⋅s−2⋅C−2
so from the equation; F = Keq²/r²
Fr² = Keq²
q = √ ( Fr² / Ke )
we substitute
q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )
q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )
q = √ (0.627595 / 9×10⁹)
q = √(6.97 × 10⁻¹¹)
q = 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C
Therefore both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C
Answer:
6858.5712 m/s
Explanation:
Given that:
Radius, r
R = 3.20 * 10^3.
Normal force = 0.5 * normal weight
Normal force = Fn ; Normal weight = Fg
Fn = 0.5Fg
Recall:
mv² / R = Fn + Fg
Fn = 0.5Fg
mv² / R = 0.5Fg + Fg
mv² /R = 1.5Fg
mv² = 1.5Fg * R
F = mg
mv² = 1.5* mg * R
v² = 1.5gR
v = sqrt(1.5gR)
V = sqrt(1.5 * 9.8 * 3.2 * 10^3)
V = sqrt(47.04^3)
V = 6858.5712 m/s
