Coulomb's Law:
F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}
k is a constant
q1 and q2 are charges
r is the distance


F_1=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

the distance is tripled:
F_2=\frac{kq_1q_2}{(3r)^2}=\frac{kq_1q_2}{9r^2}


\frac{\frac{kq_1q_2}{9r^2}}{\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}}= \frac{r^2}{9r^2}=\frac{1}{9}

The strength of the electrostatic repulsion will decrease by a factor of 9.

Please help! Calculate velocity. Show all work!
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

v = 23.66 m/s

Explanation:

recall that one of the equations of motion may be expressed:

v² = u² + 2as,

Where

v = final velocity (we are asked to find this)

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s since we are told that it starts from rest

a = acceleration = 0.56m/s²

s = distance traveled = given as 500m

Simply substitute the known values into the equation:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2(0.56)(500)

v² = 560

v = √560

v = 23.66 m/s

The format specifier ________ is a placeholder for an int value. %d %n %int %s
Grace [21]

%d is a format specifier that is a placeholder for an int value. It tells the compiler that we want to print an integer value that is present in variable a. In this way there are several format specifiers in c.
