Complete Question:

Two small objects each with a net charge of Q (where Q is a positive number) exert a force of magnitude "F" on each other. We

replace one of the objects with another whose net charge is 4Q. The original magnitude of the force on the Q charge was "F"; what is the magnitude of the force on the Q charge now?

Answer:

4 F₀

Explanation:

Assuming that we can treat to both objects as point charges, we can find the force "F" that one charge exerts upon the other applying Coulomb´s law, as follows:

F₀ = K*Q₀² / r₁₂²

If we replace one of the charges by one with a 4Q₀ charge, the new value of F will be as follows:

F₁ = K*Q₀*4Q₀ / r₁₂² =( K*Q₀² / r₁₂²)* 4 = 4* F₀

This value is reasonable, as the electrostatic force is a linear - type one, so it is possible to use the superposition principle (we can get the force exerted by one charge on another without considering the ones due to another charges)

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is 12.3 m/s.

The given parameters;

height of the waterfall, h = 0.432 m
distance of the Salmon from the waterfall, s = 3.17 m
angle of projection of the Salmon, = 30.8º

The time of motion to fall from 0.432 m is calculated as;

$h = v_0_y + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\0.432 = 0 + (0.5\times 9.8)t^2\\\\0.432 = 4.9t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{0.432}{4.9} \\\\t^2 = 0.088\\\\t = \sqrt{0.088} \\\\t = 0.3 \ s$

The minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is calculated as;

$X = v_0_x t\\\\3.17 = (v_0\times cos(30.8)) \times 0.3\\\\10.567 = v_0\times cos(30.8)\\\\v_0 = \frac{10.567}{cos(30.8)} \\\\v_0 = 12.3 \ m/s$

Thus, the minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is 12.3 m/s.

3. The soccer kicker kicks a 2 kg football with a force of 68 N. How fast will the ball accelerate down the field?

Katen [24]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf m= 2 \ kg , \\a= 34 \ m/s^2, \\\F= 68 \ N}}$

Explanation:

The formula for force is:

$F=m*a$

If we rearrange the formula to solve for a (acceleration), the formula becomes

$\frac{F}{m} =a$

The force is 68 Newtons. Let's convert the units to make the problem easier later on. 1 N is equal to 1 kg*m/s², so the force of 68 N is equal to 68 kg*m/s².

The mass is 2 kilograms.

$F=68 \ kg*m/s^2 \\m= 2\ kg$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$\frac{68 \ kg*m/s^2}{2 \ kg} =a$

Divide. Note that the kilograms will cancel each other out (hence why we changed the units).

$\frac{68 \ m/s^2}{2}=a$

$34 \ m/s^2=a$

The acceleration is<u> </u><u>34 meters per second squared.</u>

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

$v=1667.9km/h$

$a_{cp}=436.6km/h^2$

Explanation:

The speed is the distance traveled divided by the time taken. The distance traveled in 24hs while standing on the equator is the circumference of the Earth $C=2\pi R$ , where $R=6371km$ is the radius of the Earth.
