What happens to the electrostatic force between two charged particles if the distance between them is doubled?

Physics

Stells [14]3 years ago
5 0

According to Coulomb's Law , The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. So ,if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the  electrostatic force will become weak by one fourth of the original force.

What is the sum of all forces acting on an object and direction
babunello [35]

The sum of all forces on an object is the net force or resultant force. If all the forces cancel out , resultant force is zero , otherwise unbalanced force will cause acceleration of object .

Force is the vector, has both direction and magnitude.

A father uses a rope to pull a child on a sled at a constant speed. of the ones listed which forces are present?
Amanda [17]

All the forces may be present.

The child on the sled has a weight- which is due to the force of gravity on the child and the sled.

The sled and the child exert a force on the ground equal to the combined weight of the sled and the child. The ground exerts a normal force on the sled.

The force used by the father to pull the sled is the applied force.

The sled slides on the ground and as a result, the force of friction exists between the ground and the sled, directed opposite to the direction of the motion of the sled.

The father pulls the sled using a rope. As a result, the rope is under Tension.

As the sled moves it also experiences a force of air resistance, which is dependent on the sled's speed.

However, since the father pulls the sled along with constant speed, the sum of all the forces acting on the sled is zero.

Since there is no movement in the upward or downward directions, the weight of the child and the sled is equal to the normal force acted upon the sled by the ground.

The force applied by the father on the rope is equal to the tension in the rope.

Friction and air resistance act opposite to the direction of motion of the sled. for the sled to move at constant speed, the tension in the rope must be equal to the sum of the forces due to friction and air resistance.

10. How much total work do you do when you lift a 50 kg microwave 1.0 m off the ground and then push it 1.0 m
Mariulka [41]

Work formula:

W = Fd\cos(\theta)

F = 50N, d = 1.0 m

When you lift something straight up, the angle of the force is 90º

cos(90º) is 0, so there's no work done when you lift the microwave off the ground

W = (50N)(1.0)(0) = 0

F = 50N, d = 1.0 m

When you push the microwave, the angle is 0º and cos(0º) is 1. So there is work done here:

W = (50 N)(1.0m)(1)

W = 50

total work = 50 joules
