The correct answer for this problem is c
B. The gravity acceleration is in the same direction as the force of gravity, and thus towards the centre of the earth
Mass does not affect the pendulum's swing. The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.
Answer:
1) Q ’= 8 Q
, 2) q ’= 16 q
, 3) r ’= ¾ r
Explanation:
For this exercise we will use Coulomb's law
F = k q Q / r²
It asks us to calculate the change of any of the parameters so that the force is always F
Original values
q, Q, r
Scenario 1
q ’= 2q
r ’= 4r
F = k q ’Q’ / r’²
we substitute
F = k 2q Q ’/ (4r)²
F = k 2q Q '/ 16r²
we substitute the value of F
k q Q / r² = k q Q '/ 8r²
Q ’= 8 Q
Scenario 2
Q ’= Q
r ’= 4r
we substitute
F = k q ’Q / 16r²
k q Q / r² = k q’ Q / 16 r²
q ’= 16 q
Scenario 3
q ’= 3/2 q
Q ’= ⅜ Q
we substitute
k q Q r² = k (3/2 q) (⅜ Q) / r’²
r’² = 9/16 r²
r ’= ¾ r
