Answer:
a. the force between them quadruples
Explanation:
The electrostatic force between two charges is given by
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges
In this problem, the charges on both objects are doubled, so
While the distance does not change, so the new force will be
so, the force will quadruple.
Answer:
6400 m
Explanation:
You need to use the bulk modulus, K:
K = ρ dP/dρ
where ρ is density and P is pressure
Since ρ is changing by very little, we can say:
K ≈ ρ ΔP/Δρ
Therefore, solving for ΔP:
ΔP = K Δρ / ρ
We can calculate K from Young's modulus (E) and Poisson's ratio (ν):
K = E / (3 (1 - 2ν))
Substituting:
ΔP = E / (3 (1 - 2ν)) (Δρ / ρ)
Before compression:
ρ = m / V
After compression:
ρ+Δρ = m / (V - 0.001 V)
ρ+Δρ = m / (0.999 V)
ρ+Δρ = ρ / 0.999
1 + (Δρ/ρ) = 1 / 0.999
Δρ/ρ = (1 / 0.999) - 1
Δρ/ρ = 0.001 / 0.999
Given:
E = 69 GPa = 69×10⁹ Pa
ν = 0.32
ΔP = 69×10⁹ Pa / (3 (1 - 2×0.32)) (0.001/0.999)
ΔP = 64.0×10⁶ Pa
If we assume seawater density is constant at 1027 kg/m³, then:
ρgh = P
(1027 kg/m³) (9.81 m/s²) h = 64.0×10⁶ Pa
h = 6350 m
Rounded to two sig-figs, the ocean depth at which the sphere's volume is reduced by 0.10% is approximately 6400 m.
Answer:
The fuse must be connected between the device and the power intake source.
Explanation:
A fuse is a protective component of electrical appliances that is designed to be sensitive to a particular range of electric current
The fuse is made of a thing metal strip with a known melting point. Once current abive its carrying capacity flows through it, large heat is generated in the metal strip which melts it and causes the metal strip to cut int two protecting the device from the power spike.
Answer:
-120000 W
Explanation:
Power = change in energy / time
P = ΔE / t
P = (½ mv₂² − ½ mv₁²) / t
P = m (v₂² − v₁²) / (2t)
Given m = 1.5 t = 1500 kg, v₂ = 10 m/s, v₁ = 30 m/s, and t = 5 s:
P = (1500 kg) ((10 m/s)² − (30 m/s)²) / (2 × 5 s)
P = -120000 W
