D is the best answer. In many physics problems we treat an extended object as if it were a point with the same mass located at the center of mass.

How would you change the distance between two charged particles to increase the electric force between them by a factor of 16

Naily [24]

The electrostatic force between two charges is inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.

So if you want to multiply the force by, say, ' Q ',
you need to multiply the distance by ( 1 / √Q ) .

We want to multiply the force by 16, so we need to
multiply the distance by ( 1 / √16 ) = ( 1 / 4 ) .

The distance should be changed to 1/4 of what it is now.

Two long, straight wires are separated by a distance of 9.15 cm . One wire carries a current of 2.79 A , the other carries a cur

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The force is the same

Explanation:

The force per meter exerted between two wires carrying a current is given by the formula

$\frac{F}{L}=\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2\pi r}$

where

$\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability

$I_1$ is the current in the 1st wire

$I_2$ is the current in the 2nd wire

r is the separation between the wires

In this problem

$I_1=2.79 A\\I_2=4.36 A\\r = 9.15 cm = 0.0915 m$

Substituting, we find the force per unit length on the two wires:

$\frac{F}{L}=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7})(2.79)(4.36)}{2\pi (0.0915)}=2.66\cdot 10^{-5}N$

However, the formula is the same for the two wires: this means that the force per meter exerted on the two wires is the same.

The same conclusion comes out from Newton's third law of motion, which states that when an object A exerts a force on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (action-reaction). If we apply the law to this situation, we see that the force exerted by wire 1 on wire 2 is the same as the force exerted by wire 2 on wire 1 (however the direction is opposite).

The near point of a farsighted person's uncorrected eyes is 80 cm. what power contact lens should be used to move the near point

makvit [3.9K]

To solve this problem, we will get f and then we will use it to calculate the power.

So, for this farsighted person,
do = 25 cm and di = -80
Therefore:
1/f = (1/25) + (1/-80) = 0.00275 = 0.275 m

Power = 1/f = 1/0.275 = +3.6363 Diopeters.
This means that the lens is converging.
