Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.

So Coulomb's Law states that F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} so if we double the charge on Q_1 and double the distance to (2d) we plug these into the equation to find

<span>F_{new} = k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{(2d)^2}=k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{4d^2} = \frac{2}{4} \cdot k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot F_{old}</span>

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be \frac{1}{2}F if I can remember my physics correctly.

An amoeba has 1.00 x 1016 protons and a net charge of 0.300 pC. Assuming there are 1.88 x 106 fewer electrons than protons, If y
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons =1.88\times 10^{-10}

Explanation:

We are given that

Amoeba has total number of protons=1.00\times 10^{16}

Net charge, Q=0.300pC

Electrons are fewer than protons=1.88\times 10^6

We have to find the fraction of protons would have no electrons.

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons

=\frac{Fewer\;electrons}{Total\;protons}

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons

=\frac{1.88\times 10^{6}}{1.00\times 10^{16}}

=1.88\times 10^{-10}

Hence, the fraction of the protons would have no electrons =1.88\times 10^{-10}

What are the physics terms behind watching TV?
GalinKa [24]
Everyone knows that one of their favorite past times is sitting in front of the television and watching movies, shows, or playing video games. However with this almost motionless, lazy activity comes a great deal of static physics and mechanics.

When you are sitting down enjoying whatever show it is you may be watching, you actually have several forces acting on you concurrently. For example, by sitting on the couch with no extra weight on you, your weight is equivalent to the normal force, or the force of the couch on you. In addition to the force of the couch of you, if you are leaning on an arm or laying down, a similar force acts on you, except at an angle or incline. The general rule for laying on the couch watching television is that whatever force you exert on an object, that object exerts the same force in the opposite direction, or 180 degrees around.

If an object on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a spring, displaced, and then released, it oscillates. Suppose
Volgvan

Answer:

a) A=0.125 m

b) T = 1.72 s

c) f= 0.58 Hz

Explanation:

a) As we are told that the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position was 0.125 m (from which it was released at zero initial speed), this is the amplitude of the resultant SHM, so, A=0.125 m

b) In order to find the period, we must get the total time needed to complete a full cycle (which means that the block must pass twice through the equilibrium point). We are told that at t=0.860 sec, the block has reached to the other end of the trajectory, and it  has passed through the equilibrium point only once.

This means that the period must be exactly the double of this time:

T = 2*0. 860 sec = 1.72 sec.

c) In a SHM, the frequency is defined just as the inverse of the period (like in a uniform circular movement), so we can get the frequency  f as follows:

f = 1/T = 1/ 1.72 s= 0.58 Hz

The method of creating the illusion of depth on a 2-d surface through the appearance of converging parallel lines and one or mor
user100 [1]
This method is known as linear perspective.
When using linear perspective, artists use a set of drawn or imaginary lines which are made to converge at the horizon of the image. These lines change the viewer's perspective by providing a point through which the relative size, shape and position of objects is determined. This technique creates the illusion of depth.

Harry is a professional astronomer. The pictures below show two types of telescopes Harry owns.
Dafna1 [17]
The best answer is
C) reflecting telescope, because it can be made large enough to gather more radiations (or light) from distant objects. 

Reflecting telescopes, unlike refracting telescopes, can be made larger and larger to collect more light, with more precision, from larger distances. Refracting telescopes generally are not used for any demanding purposes, such viewing objects in space by professional astronomers.
