Answer:
2.16×10⁻⁶ N
Explanation:
Applying,
F = kqq'/r² (coulomb's Law)....................... Equation 1
Where F = electrostatic force, k = coulomb's constant, q = charge on the styrofoam, q' = charge on the grain of salt, r = distance between the charges.
From the question,
Given: q = 0.002 mC = 2.0×10⁻⁶ C, q' = 0.03 nC = 3.0×10⁻¹¹ C, r = 0.5 m
Constant: k = 8.99×10⁹ Nm²/C²
Substitute these values into equation 1
F = (2.0×10⁻⁶)(3.0×10⁻¹¹)(8.99×10⁹)/0.5²
F = 2.16×10⁻⁶ N
Answer:
Final velocity of the block = 2.40 m/s east.
Explanation:
Here momentum is conserved.
Initial momentum = Final momentum
Mass of bullet = 0.0140 kg
Consider east as positive.
Initial velocity of bullet = 205 m/s
Mass of Block = 1.8 kg
Initial velocity of block = 0 m/s
Initial momentum = 0.014 x 205 + 1.8 x 0 = 2.87 kg m/s
Final velocity of bullet = -103 m/s
We need to find final velocity of the block( u )
Final momentum = 0.014 x -103+ 1.8 x u = -1.442 + 1.8 u
We have
2.87 = -1.442 + 1.8 u
u = 2.40 m/s
Final velocity of the block = 2.40 m/s east.
Answer:
78.498N
Explanation:
The Net force provided by the spinnaker can be obtained from Newton's second law of motion as follows;
where m is the mass, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and t is the time interval for which the force acted.
Given;
m =980lb
v = 12mi/h
u =8mi/hr
t = 10s.
It is important to convert all quantities to their SI units where necessary, so we do that as follows;
1lb = 0.45kg,
hence 980lb = 980 x 0.45kg = 441kg.
1mile = 1609.34m
1hour = 3600s,
therefore;
Substituting all values into equation (1), we obtain the following;
The SI unit for velocity and speed is meters per second
