Two bodies each carrying a charge of 2.00 x 10-10C are 5cm apart. Calculate the magnitude of the force between the charges.[\(\frac{1}{4\pi \mathit{E}_o} = 9.00 \times 10^9 Nm^2C{-2}\)]

A.

1.44 x 10-7N

B.

7.20 x 10-9N

C.

7.20 x 10-11N

D.

1.44 x 1011N

Correct answer is A

f = \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \mathit{E}_o} \times \frac{Q^2}{r^2} = \frac{9 \times 10^9(2 \times 10^{-2})^2}{(0.05)^2}\)

= 1.44 x 10-2N

A sound wave is produced fron a source ans an echo is heard t seconds afterwards. If d is the distance of the reflecting surface from the source, v the speed, p the wavelength and T the period of the wave, then

A.

d = \(\frac{2t}{\lambda}\)

B.

d = \(\frac{\lambda t}{2T}\)

C.

d = \(\frac{2T}{\lambda t}\)

D.

d = \(\frac{\lambda T}{2t}\)

Correct answer is B

V = \(\frac{2d}{t}\)

f\(\lambda = \frac{2d}{t} = \frac{\lambda}{T} = \frac{2d}{t}\)
