Answer from: lame3245

The electrical force between two balloons is 67.5N.

Explanation:

There are two charged balloons, let's say a and b.

The charge on the balloon a = $Q_a = 3.0 * 10^{-6}$ C

The charge on the balloon b = $Q_b = 2.5 * 10^{-7}$ C

Both balloons are 1 cm apart; it means that the distance r between the balloon a and the balloon b is 0.01 m (since 1 cm = 0.01 m).

We need to find the electrical force between them. By using the Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrical force between both the balloon is given as follows:

$F = \frac{kQ_aQ_b}{r^2}$ --- (A)

Where,

k = Coulomb's constant = $\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_o}$ = $9 * 10^9 \frac{Nm^2}{C^2}$

Plug all the values in the equation (A):

$F = \frac{(9*10^9)(3.0*10^{-6})(2.5*10^{-7})}{(0.01)^2} \\F = 67.5 N$

Hence, the electrical force between two balloons is 67.5N (three significant figures).

Answer from: sagereagin

The magnitude of electrical force between them is about 68 Newton

Further explanation

Electric charge consists of two types i.e. positively electric charge and negatively electric charge.

$\texttt{ }$

There was a famous scientist who investigated about this charges. His name is Coulomb and succeeded in formulating the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges i.e. :

$\large {\boxed {F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{R^2} } }$

F = electric force (N)

k = electric constant (N m² / C²)

q = electric charge (C)

r = distance between charges (m)

The value of k in a vacuum = 9 x 10⁹ (N m² / C²)

Let's tackle the problem now !

$\texttt{ }$

Given:

charge of balloon 1 = q₁ = 3.0 × 10⁻⁶ C

charge of balloon 2 = q₂ = 2.5 × 10⁻⁷ C

distance between balloon 1 and balloon 2 = R = 1 cm = 1 × 10⁻² m

Unknown:

electrical force between them = F = ?

Solution:

$F = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{R^2}$

$F = 9 \times 10^9 \times \frac{ 3.0 \times 10^{-6} \times 2.5 \times 10^{-7} }{ ( 1 \times 10^{-2} )^2 }$

$F = 9 \times 10^9 \times \frac{ 7.5 \times 10^{-13} }{ 10^{-4} }$

$F = 9 \times 10^9 \times 7.5 \times 10^{-9}$

$F = 67.5 \texttt{ Newton}$

$F \approx 68 \texttt { Newton}$ → ( 2 Significant Figures )

Researchers conducted an experiment to identify the effects of three different hand sanitizers on the growth of bacteria. the researchers grew one type of bacteria in twenty-four identical covered petri dishes. then, they opened eighteen petri dishes and applied the three hand sanitizers to six petri dishes each. they left the remaining six petri dishes closed as a control group. when the researchers measured the growth of bacteria two days later, the six dishes that had no hand sanitizer showed the least amount of bacterial growth. the researchers concluded that not using any hand sanitizer would lead to the least bacterial growth. which statement best explains why the researchers’ conclusion was not justified? the experiment tested too many variables. the control group was not treated the same as the experimental group. the sample size of twenty-four petri dishes is not large enough. the single type of bacteria is not adequate to make any conclusions.
