Two charges are sitting 1.5 m apart with a force of 3 N between them. They are now moved farther apart to 2.25 m and one of the

charges is increased by a factor of 4. What is the magnitude of the new force between the two charges?

Answer: 2.37N

Explanation:

According to coulombs law which states that the force of attraction (F) between two charges (q1 and q2) is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) between them. Mathematically,

F = kq1q2/r²

For the first two charges that are sitting 1.5 m apart with a force of 3 N between them, we have

3 = kq1q2/1.5²

3 = kq1q2/2.25

Kq1q2= 6.75... (1)

If the charges are now moved farther apart 2.25 m and one of the charges is increased by a factor of 4. The formula becomes

F2 = k(4q1)q2/2.25² (q1 has been increased by factor of 4)

k(4q1)q2 = 5.06F2 ... (2)

Dividing 2 by 1 we have

k(4q1)q2/kq1q2 = 5.06F2/3

4 = 5.06F2/3

5.06F2 = 12

F2= 12/5.06

F2 = 2.37N

Therefore the magnitude of the new force between the two charges is 2.37N

lara [203]

Answer:

Standard deviation = 3

Explanation:

Given

$N = 1201$

$SS = 10800$

Required

Determine the standard deviation

First, we need to determine the variance;

$Variance = \frac{SS}{N - 1}$

This gives:

$Variance = \frac{10800}{1201 - 1}$

$Variance = \frac{10800}{1200}$

$Variance = 9$

Know that:

$Variance = SD^2$

Where SD represents standard deviation

This gives

$9 = SD^2$

Take square root

$SD = \sqrt 9$

$SD = 3$

Recall specific heat of water is 4186 j/kg/C. Find the specific heat of sample.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Shown by explanation;

Explanation:

The heat of the sample = mass ×specific heat capacity of the sample × temperature change(∆T)

Assumption;I assume the mass of the samples are : 109g and 192g

∆T= 30.1-21=8.9°c.

The heat of the samples are for 109g are:

0.109 × 4186 × 8.9 =4060.84J

For 0.192g are;

∆T= 67-30.1-=36.9°c

0.192 × 4186×36.9=29656.97J

Which temperature is the hottest? 98 F or 39 C or 303K?<br> F= 1.8C + 32<br> C= (F-32)/1.8

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The hottest temperature is $T_2 = 39^o C$

Explanation:

From the question we are given

$T_1 = 98 F$

$T_2 = 39^oC$

$T_3 = 303 \ K$

Generally converting $T_3$ to Fahrenheit

$T_3' = (T_3 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_3' = (303 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_3' = 86 F$

Converting $T_2$ to Fahrenheit

$T_2' = T_2 * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_2' = 39 * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_2' =102.2 F$

Now comparing the temperature in Fahrenheit we see that $T_2$ is the hottest
