Answer:

The force will be 54.0 units

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's Law:

F=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the magnitude of the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

From the equation, we see that the magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the charge of object 2:

F\propto q_2

In this problem, the initial force between the two objects is

F = 18.0 N

And so, when the charge on object 2 is tripled,

q_2'=3q_2

The new electrostatic force will be

F'\propto q_2' = (3q_2) = 3F

So, the force will also triple: since the original force was 18.0 units, the new force will be

F'=3F=3(18.0)=54.0

Can someone solve this problem and explain to me how you got it​

Answer:

question5: F=74312.5N

question6: charge at the end of antenna=0.37N

Explanation:

Coulomb's law: the magnitude of the force of attraction or repulsion due to two charges is proportional to the product of the magnitude of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the charges.

⇒F\alpha\frac{q1*q2}{r^{2}}

∴F=k\frac{q1*q2}{r^{2}}

where F is the force of attraction or repulsion

k is Coulumb's constant=9*10^{9}Nm^{2}C^{-2}

q1 and q2 are the magnitude of the charges

r is the distance between two charges

The force between the two charges is attractive if they are of different polarity

The force between the two charges is repulsive if they are of same polarity

Question5:

Given: q1=0.041 C, q2=0.029 C, r=12 m

therefore by Coulumb's law,

F=9*10^{9}*\frac{0.041*0.029}{12^{2}}

F=74312.5N

Question6:

Given: q1=3*10^{-18}C, r=5 m, F=4*10^{-11}N

therefore by Coulumb's law,

4*10^{-11}=9*10^{9}*\frac{3*10^{-18}*q2}{5^{2}}

⇒q2=\frac{4*10^{-11}*25}{9*10^{9}*3*10^{-18}} \\=0.37C

7. Calculations.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

5 ms-2

Explanation:

F = ma

F = 100N

m = 20kg ( you should make sure the unit is kg before you answer the question)

100 = 20a

a = 100÷ 20

a = 5 ms-2

2. How is frequency described in mathematical terms?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Frequency refers to the number of occurrences of a periodic event per time and is measured in cycles/second. In this case, there is 1 cycle per 2 seconds. So the frequency is 1 cycles/2 s = 0.5 Hz.
