Answer:

3.2\cdot 10^{-8} N

Explanation:

The inital electrostatic force between the two spheres is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

F=8\cdot 10^{-9} N is the initial force

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges on the two spheres

r is the distance between the two spheres

The problem tells us that the two spheres are moved from a distance of r=20 cm to a distance of r'=10 cm. So we have

r'=\frac{r}{2}

Therefore, the new electrostatic force will be

F'=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(r')^2}=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(r/2)^2}=4k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}=4F

So the force has increased by a factor 4. By using F=8\cdot 10^{-9} N, we find

F'=4(8\cdot 10^{-9} N)=3.2\cdot 10^{-8} N

My best guess is A  There is missing a time unit in the question.  I know that 4.4 *5 = 21 so that would be my best guess.

the system shown above is released from rest. if friction is negligible, the acceleration of the 4.0 kg block sliding on the tab
JulsSmile [24]

The acceleration of the first block (4 kg) is -9.8 m/s².

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the first block, m₁ = 4.0 kg</em>
  • <em>Mass of the second block, m₂ = 2.0 kg</em>

The net force on the system of the two blocks is calculated as follows;

m_2 g - T = m_1 a

where;

  • <em>T </em><em>is the tension in the connecting string due weight of the first block</em>

m_2 g - m_1 g = m_1 a\\\\a = \frac{m_2 g - m_1g}{m_1} \\\\a = \frac{g(m_2 - m_1)}{m_1} \\\\a = \frac{9.8(2-4)}{2} \\\\a = -9.8 \ m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the first block (4 kg) is -9.8 m/s².

Pretty sure it’s C. all the others are speeding up. acceleration means gradually (over time) getting faster. So it’s C.
