Answer: 1.51 km

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law:</u> The electrostatic force between two charge particles Q: and Q2 is directly proportional to product of magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to square of separation distance between them.

Or,   \vec{F}=k \frac{Q_{1} Q_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where Q1 and Q2 are magnitude of two charges and r is distance between them:

<u>Given:</u>

Q1 = Charge near top of cloud = 48.8 C

Q2 = Charge near the bottom of cloud = -41.7 C

Force between charge at top and bottom of cloud (i.e. between Q: and Q2) (F) = 7.98 x 10^6N

k = 8.99 x 109Nm^2/C^2

<u>So,</u>

\begin{aligned}&7.98 \times 10^{6}=\left(8.99 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{Nm}^{2} / \mathrm{C}^{2}\right) \frac{48.8 \mathrm{C} \times 41.7 \mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{r}^{2}} \\&r=\sqrt{\frac{1.8294 \times 10^{13}}{7.98 \times 10^{6}}}=1.514  \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~m}=1.51 \mathrm{~km}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the separation between the two charges (r) = 1.51 km

A block weighing 10 newtons is resting on a plane inclined 30° to the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the normal force acti
aleksley [76]

Magnitude of normal force acting on the block is 7 N

Explanation:

10N = 1.02kg

Mass of the block = m = 1.02 kg

Angle of incline Θ =  30°

Normal force acting on the block = N

From the free body diagram,

N = mgCos Θ

N = (1.02)(9.81)Cos(30)

N = 8.66 N

Rounding off to nearest whole number,

N = 7 N

Magnitude of normal force acting on the block = 7 N

Cloudy nights are usually warm because​
almond37 [142]

Answer:

When you have a cloudy night, the clouds prevent heat from escaping through the atmosphere and into space.

The clouds act like a blanket and trap the heat it, and that is why every time you have a cloudy night, it is always warmer than a clear night.
