The strength of the electrostatic force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance

between the charges. If the distance is doubled, the force is 1/4.

The new force is 0.80/4 = 0.20 N.

<h3>What is electrostatic force? </h3>

Electrostatic force is the attractive or repulsive force that exists between two charged particles. Also known as Coulomb interaction or Coulomb force. For example, the electrostatic forces between the protons and electrons of an atom are responsible for the stability of the atom.

The force acting along a line joining two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

F=K |\frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2} }   |

In the above formula, k is arbitrary and can be chosen to be any positive value. Since k is a constant, I chose to give the value of k as follows:

Therefore, with q₁ and q₂ values ​​of 1 and r = 1 (two charges with 1 Coulomb charge each at a distance of 1 m), we get F = 9 \times 10^9 N. In the above equation, ε₀ is given as the permittivity of free space and its value in SI units is 8.854\times10^{-12} C^{2} N^{-1}  m^{-2}.

A 150-W lamp is placed into a 120-V ac outlet. What is the peak current?
devlian [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula

W = I * E

Givens

W = 150

E = 120

I = ?

Solution

150 = I * 120   Divide by 120

150/120 = I

5/4  = I

I = 1.25

Note: This is an edited note. You have to assume that 120 is the RMS voltage in order to go any further. That means that the peak voltage is √2 times the size of 120. The current has the same note applied to it. If the voltage is its rms value, then the current must (assuming the properties of the bulb do not change)

On the other hand, if the voltage is the peak value at 120 then 1.25 will be correct.

However I would go with the other answerer's post and multiply both values by  √2

Assume that the physics instructor would like to have normal visual acuity from 21 cm out to infinity and that his bifocals rest
shutvik [7]

This is note the complete question, the complete question is:

One of the lousy things about getting old (prepare yourself!) is that you can be both near-sighted and farsighted at once. Some original defect in the lens of your eye may cause you to only be able to focus on some objects a limited distance away (near-sighted). At the same time, as you age, the lens of your eye becomes more rigid and less able to change its shape. This will stop you from being able to focus on objects that are too close to your eye (far-sighted). Correcting both of these problems at once can be done by using bi-focals, or by placing two lenses in the same set of frames. An old physicist instructor can only focus on objects that lie at distance between 0.47 meters and 5.4 meters.

Assume that the physics instructor would like to have normal visual acuity from 21 cm out to infinity and that his bifocals rest 2.0 cm from his eye. What is the refractive power of the portion of the lense that will correct the instructors nearsightedness?

Answer:  3.04 D

Explanation:

when an object is held 21 cm away from the instructor's eyes, the spectacle lens must produce 0.47m ( the near point) away.

An image of 0.47m from the eye will be ( 47 - 2 )

i.e 45 cm from the spectacle lens since the spectacle lens is 2cm away from the eye.

Also, the image distance will become negative

gap between lense and eye = 2cm

Therefore;

image distance d₁ = - 45cm = - 0.45m

object distance  d₀ = 21 - 2 = 19cm = 0.19m

P = 1/f = 1/ d = 1/d₀ + 1/d₁ = 1/0.19 + (-1/0.45)

P = 1/f =  5.26315789 - 2.22222222

P = 1/f = 3.04093567 ≈ 3.04 D

What is the Sl unit for speed
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: meter per second

Explanation: meter per second

Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the meter per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometer per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.
