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

A family car has a mass of 1400 kg. In an accident it hits a wall and goes from a speed of 27 m/s to a standstill in 1.5 seconds
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The force has been reduced by 8018 N

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the car during the crash is equal to the product of the force exerted and the duration of the collision, and it is also equal to the change in momentum of the car. So we can write:

F\Delta t = m\Delta v

where:

F is the force exerted on the car

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

m = 1400 kg is the mass of the car

\Delta  v=-27 m/s is the change in velocity of the car

We can re-write the equation as

F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}

In the 1st collision, the time is 1.5 seconds, so the force is

F_1=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{1.5}=-25,200 N

In the 2nd collision, the time is increased to 2.2 seconds, so the force is

F_2=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{2.2}=-17,182 N

Therefore, the force has been reduced by:

F_2-F_1=-17,182-(-25,200)=8018 N

A camcorder has a power rating of 16 watts. If the output voltage from its battery is 7 volts, what current does it use?
GenaCL600 [577]

Power= current*voltage or P=IV

so 16 watts=I*7 volts

divide on both sides to isolate I so you get

I= 16/7 which is about 2.3 amps
