  • Physics electrostatic question?

    (a) Common transparent tape becomes charged when pulled from a dispenser. If one piece is placed above another, the repulsive force can be great enough to support the top piece's weight. Assuming equal point charges (only an approximation), calculate the magnitude of the charge if electrostatic force is great enough to support the weight of a 7.00 mg piece of tape held 1.40 cm above another. (The magnitude of this charge is consistent with what is typical of static electricity.)

  • Physics collisions question?

    A battleship that is 6.00 ✕ 107 kg and is originally at rest fires a 1400–kg artillery shell horizontally with a velocity of 675 m/s.

  • Physics Impulse question?

    Whether or not an object (such as a plate, glass, or bone) breaks upon impact depends on the average force exerted on that object by the surface. When a 3.8 kg glass figure hits the floor, it will break if it experiences an average force of 712 N. When it hits a tile floor, the glass comes to a stop in 0.014 s. From what minimum height (in m) must the glass fall to experience sufficient force to break?
