The gravitational force between the charged constituents of the atom is negligible compared with the electric force between them

. The electric force is so strong, however, that any net charge on an object quickly attracts nearby opposite charges, neutralizing the object. As a result, gravity plays a greater role in the mechanics of moving objects in everyday life. QUESTION If the distance between two charges is doubled, by what factor is the magnitude of the electric force changed?

Answer: The initial force is reduced a factor 1/4 when the separation between charge is doubled

Explanation: As it well known the electric force between two charges is given by:

Finitial=k*q1*q2/d^2 where d is the distance between charges and k is a constant

if the distance is doubled this means 2*dinitial thus the new force is equal to F initial* 1/4

A person of mass m will bungee-jump from a bridge over a river where the height from the bridge to the river is h. The bungee co
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}

Explanation:

Given

mass of person is m

Distance between bridge and river is h

chord has an un-stretched length of \frac{2h}{3}

Let spring constant be k

Person will just stop before hitting the river

Conserve energy i.e. Potential Energy of Person is converted in to elastic energy of chord

mgh=\frac{kx^2}{2}

x=h-\frac{2h}{3}=\frac{h}{3}

mgh=\frac{kh^2}{18}

k=\frac{18mg}{h}

Thus k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}

A mass m neutron has elastic collision with a mass m'
hoa [83]

Answer:

The neutron loses all of its kinetic energy to nucleus.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of neutron is 'm' and mass of nucleus is 'm'.

The type of collision is elastic collision.

In elastic collision, there is no loss in kinetic energy of the system. So, total kinetic energy is conserved. Also, the total momentum of the system is conserved.

Here, the nucleus is still. So, its initial kinetic energy is 0. So, the total initial kinetic energy will be equal to kinetic energy of the neutron only.

Now, final kinetic energy of the system will be equal to the initial kinetic energy.

Now, as the nucleus was at rest initially, so the final kinetic energy of the nucleus will be equal to the initial kinetic energy of the neutron.

Thus, all the kinetic energy of the neutron will be transferred to the nucleus and the neutron will come to rest after collision.

Therefore, the neutron loses all of its kinetic energy to nucleus.

daser333 [38]
Pushing a broke down car, even done by more than one person, is difficult especially if the distance to be covered is quite far. A car is heavy and it requires a lot of force to start the car moving. This is because the inertia of the car to remain at rest is great. Additionally, the force applied in pushing the car must be greater than the frictional force to cause it to accelerate. The frictional force is dependent on the mass of the object which means that the frictional force acting on the car is also great. Finally, with every push of the car, the frictional force will always be present and acting on the opposite direction. The push that will be supplied must be sustained all throughout.
