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 ball is dropped off the side of a bridge,<br> After 1.55 S, how far has it fallen?<br> (Unit=m)
kow [346]

Answer:

Distance S = 11.77 m (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Time t = 1.55 Second

Gravity acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

Find:

Distance S

Computation:

S = ut + (1/2)(g)(t)²

S = (0)(1.55) + (1/2)(9.8)(1.55)²

S = (0)(1.55) + (1/2)(9.8)(1.55)²

Distance S = 11.77 m (Approx.)
