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.

a steam engine works on its vicinity and 285 k heat is released with the help of 225 degree centigrade energy absorbed to the sy
Studentka2010 [4]

The efficiency of the steam engine is 78.9%.

<h3>What is the efficiency of a machine?</h3>

The efficiency of a machine is a measure of the useful work done by the machine as against the work input into the machine.

  • Efficiency of a machine = work output/work input × 100%

Work output of the steam engine = 225 K

Work input of the steam engine = 285 K

The efficiency of the machine = 225/275 × 100% = 78.9%

Therefore, the efficiency of the steam engine is 78.9%.

Some fish have a density slightly less than that of water and must exert a force (swim) to stay submerged. What force must an 85
vichka [17]

The force require to keep grouper submerged is 8.207N.

According to Archimedes principle  buoyant force of any object must equal to weight of fluid it displaced.

The expression for the force exerted to stay submerged in salt water is

           F = F(b) - w(fish)

 where F(b) = buoyant force

              w(fish) = weight

      now substitute w(b) for F(b)

   →  F = Vρg - w(fish)

where  V = volume of sea water

             ρ = density of sea water

Now by Archimedes principle   V = m(fish)  / ρ(fish)

    →    F = (m(fish) / ρ (fish) ) ρg - m(fish)g

           F =   (85 kg/1015 kg-m^-3) (1.025× 10³ kg-m^-3) (9.8 m/s^2)

                                  -   (85kg)  × 9.8 m/s^2

           F = 841.207N - 833N

           F = 8.207 N

  Hence, the force require to keep grouper submerged is 8.207N.
