How does the electric force vary with distance

1 answer:

3 0

The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value.

Force exerted by the bullet = mass * acceleration = 0.013 * 850 = 11.05 Newtons.

the rifle exerts same force in opposite direction so we have

11.05 = 3.5 * a
acceleration = 11.05 / 3.5 = 3.16 m /s^-2
