When the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them?

Physics

Llana [10]3 years ago

If the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them increases by a factor 4.

In fact, the magnitude of the electric force between two charges is given by:
F= k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges

We see that the magnitude of the force F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance r. Therefore, if the radius is halved:
r'= \frac{r}{2}
the magnitude of the force changes as follows:
F'=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r'^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{( \frac{r}{2})^2 }=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{ \frac{r^2}{4} } =4k  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}=4 F
so, the force increases by a factor 4.

Two ropes have equal length and are stretched the same way. The speed of a pulse on rope 1 is 1.4 times the speed on rope 2. Par

Answer:

m1/m2 = 0.51

Explanation:

First to all, let's gather the data. We know that both rods, have the same length. Now, the expression to use here is the following:

V = √F/u

This is the equation that describes the relation between speed of a pulse and a force exerted on it.

the value of "u" is:

u = m/L

Where m is the mass of the rod, and L the length.

Now, for the rod 1:

V1 = √F/u1 (1)

rod 2:

V2 = √F/u2 (2)

Now, let's express V1 in function of V2, because we know that V1 is 1.4 times the speed of rod 2, so, V1 = 1.4V2. Replacing in the equation (1) we have:

1.4V2 = √F/u1 (3)

Replacing (2) in (3):

1.4(√F/u2) = √F/u1 (4)

Now, let's solve the equation 4:

[1.4(√F/u2)]² = F/u1

1.96(F/u2) =F/u1

1.96F = F*u2/u1

1.96 = u2/u1 (5)

Now, replacing the expression of u into (5) we have the following:

1.96 = m2/L / m1/L

1.96 = m2/m1 (6)

But we need m1/m2 so:

1.96m1 = m2

m1/m2 = 1/1.96

m1/m2 = 0.51

A 10,000-watt radio station transmits at 535 kHz. Determine the number of joules transmitted per second. 10,000 J/s 10 J/s 535 J
REY [17]
1 nanowatt  =  1 nanojoule/sec
1 watt  =  1 joule/sec
10 watts  =  10 joules/sec
100 watts  =  100 joules/sec
742.914 watts  =  742.914 joules/sec
1,000 watts  =  1,000 joules/sec
10,000 watts  =  10,000 joules/sec
100,000 watts  =  100,000 joules/sec
1 megawatt  =  1 megajoule/sec
1 gigawatt  =  1 gigajoule/sec
1 petawatt  =  1 petajoule/sec

We don't care what frequency the transmission is using,
or who their morning DJ is.

a uniform metre rule is pivoted at its centre and weights of 5 N and 12 N are hung at the 3 cm and 5 cm marks respectively. how
schepotkina [342]

In order to balance the stick on the pivot, the total "moments" must be equal on both sides.  A "moment" is (a weight) x (its distance from the center).

for the 5N weight: Moment = (5N) x (3 cm) = 15 N-cm

for the 12N weight: Moment = (12N) x (5 cm) = 60 N-cm

Sum of the moments trying to pull the stick down on that side = 75 N-cm

Whatever we hang on the other side has to provide a moment of 75 N-cm in the other direction.  We have a 25N weight. Where should we hang it ?  

(25N) x (distance from the pivot) = 75 N-cm

Distance from the pivot = (75 N-cm) / (25 N)

<em>Distance from the pivot =  3 cm </em>
