How does increasing the distance between charged objects affect the electric force between them? the electric force increases be
2 answers:
the electric force decreases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force
Explanation:
The electric force between two objects is given by
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects
r is the distance between the two objects
As we can see from the formula, the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: so, when the distance between the object increases, the magnitude of the force decreases.

Solution:
(a) The work done by the spring is given by
where k is the elastic constant of the spring and
is the stretch between the initial and final position. Since x1=-8 in=-0.203 m and x2=5 in=0.127 m, we have
(b) The work done by the weight is the product of the component of the weight parallel to the inclined plane and the displacement of the cart:
where the negative sign is given by the fact that
points in the opposite direction of the displacement of the cart, and where
therefore, the work done by the weight is
