Answer:

The separation distance is d = 0.092 \ m

Explanation:

The mass of each ball is m= 10 g = 0.01 \ kg

The negative charge of each ball is q_1 =q_2=q = 1 \mu C = 1 *10^{-6} \ C

Since the lower ball is prevented from moving, it indicates that the net force acting on it equals zero.

This means that the gravitational force exerted on the lower ball balances the electrostatic force, represented as:

F = \frac{kq_1 * q_2}{d}

=> m* g = \frac{kq_1 * q_2}{d}

where k denotes Coulomb's constant, valued at k = 9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2..

Thus,

0.01 * 9.8 = \frac{ 9*10^9 *[1*10^{-6} * 1*10^{-6}]}{d}

d = 0.092 \ m

One consequence of Einstein's theory of special relativity is that mass is a form of energy. This mass-energy relationship is pe
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

The energy unit is expressed as kg-m/s or Joules.

Explanation:

The relationship between mass and energy in physics is represented by:

E=mc^2

Where

m denotes the mass of the object

c signifies the speed of light

In the SI system, mass is measured in kilograms and the speed of light in m/s. Therefore, energy is defined in kg-m/s, which is equal to Joules.

Thus, the appropriate SI unit for energy is kg-m/s or Joules. This concludes the explanation.

Compare the momentum of a 6,300-kg elephant walking 0.11 m/s and a 50-kg dolphin swimming 10.4 m/s. your answer
inna [3103]
<span>First, apply Newton's second law of motion: F = ma. Force equals mass times acceleration. This law describes force as the product of mass multiplied by acceleration (which is different from velocity). As acceleration is the variation in velocity over time, we have force = (mass * velocity) / time, leading us to conclude that (mass * velocity) / time will equal momentum / time. Hence, we derive the equation mass * velocity = momentum. Momentum = mass * velocity. For the elephant, with a mass of 6300 kg and velocity of 0.11 m/s, Momentum = 6300 * 0.11, resulting in P = 693 kg (m/s). For the dolphin, having a mass of 50 kg and moving at 10.4 m/s, Momentum = 50 * 10.4, yielding P = 520 kg (m/s). Thus, the elephant has a greater momentum (P) due to its larger size.</span>

You are asked to design a spring that will give a 1160-kg satellite a speed of 2.50 m&gt;s relative to an orbiting space shuttle
Maru [3345]
Given the values: m = 1160 kg g = 9.81 m/s² v = 2.5 m/s Unknowns include: k (spring constant) x (spring compression) 1. To address this, use Newton's second law and Hook's law: 2. The total energy in the spring must correspond to the satellite's energy: By combining these two equations

A man is dragging a trunk up the loading ramp of a mover’s truck. The ramp has a slope angle of 20.0°, and the man pulls upward
Sav [3153]

Response:

(a) 104 N

(b) 52 N

Clarification:

Provided Information

Incline angle of the ramp: 20°

F forms a 30° angle with the ramp

The parallel component of F along the ramp is Fx = 90 N.

The perpendicular component of F is Fy.

(a)

Consider the +x direction pointing up the slope, and the +y direction perpendicular to the ramp's surface.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, decompose F into its x-component:

Fx=Fcos30°

To find F:

F= Fx/cos30°

Insert the value for Fx based on the given info:

Fx=90 N/cos30°

   =104 N

(b) Calculate the y-component of r using the Pythagorean theorem:

     Fy = Fsin 30°

Substituting for F from part (a):

     Fy = (104 N) (sin 30°)  

          = 52 N
