When the elevator moves downward, the man weighs less because of the inertia.
Force of Weight:Fg=m×g
Fs=m×g-m×1/4g=m×(g-1/4g)=m×3/4g
If He Went Up you would have to add 1/4g

aleksley [76]

Complete Question: A charge q1 = 2.2 uC is at a distance d= 1.63m from a second charge q2= -5.67 uC. (b) Find a point between the two charges on the horizontal line where the electric potential is zero. (Enter your answer as measured from q1.)

Answer:

d= 0.46 m

Explanation:

The electric potential is defined as the work needed, per unit charge, to bring a positive test charge from infinity to the point of interest.

For a point charge, the electric potential, at a distance r from it, according to Coulomb´s Law and the definition of potential, can be expressed as follows:

V = \frac{k*q}{r}

We have two charges, q₁ and q₂, and we need to find a point between them, where the electric potential due to them, be zero.

If we call x to the distance from q₁, the distance from q₂, will be the distance between both charges, minus x.

So, we can find the value of x, adding the potentials due to q₁ and q₂, in such a way that both add to zero:

V = \frac{k*q1}{x} +\frac{k*q2}{(1.63m-x)} = 0

⇒k*q1* (1.63m - x) = -k*q2*x:

Replacing by the values of q1, q2, and k, and solving for x, we get:

⇒ x = (2.22 μC* 1.63 m) / 7.89 μC = 0.46 m from q1.

What change will always result in an increase in gravitational force between two objects
tekilochka [14]

The gravitational force between two object depends on their masses and on their distance.


Since the formula is


F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{d^2}


If the masses grow, the force also grows. But I'm assuming the two objects are fixed, so you can't enlarge their mass.


So, the only option remaining is to lower their distance: since it sits at the denominator, a smaller value of d results in a bigger value for F.


So, if you reduce the distance between two objects, the gravitational force between them will always result in an increase

What happens to the current in a circuit if the resistance triples? If the voltage triples?
Sauron [17]
(Example 1 ) 
<span>If the Voltage that furnishes the current is an ideal (no internal resistance) Voltage source. Then; </span>

<span>V/R = i </span>
<span>V/2R = i/2 If external resistance doubles, current reduced to 1/2 of original value </span>
<span>V/3R = i/3 If external resistance triples, current reduced to 1/3 of original value </span>

<span>(Example 2) </span>
<span>But if the Voltage that furnishes the current is a practical [contains an internal resistance (Ri)] Voltage source. Then the current is a function of the Voltage source`s internal resistance, which does not double nor triple, plus the external resistance which is being doubled and tripled. </span>

<span>V/(R + Ri) = i </span>
<span>V/(2R + Ri) = greater than i/2 but less than I. </span>
<span>V/(3R + Ri) = greater than i/3 but less than i/2</span>
