Answer: 0.5N

Explanation:

Gravitational force is calculated using the formula :

F = Gm1m2/r^2

Where G is the gravitational constant (6.67 × 10^-11)

At a distance 'r' of 2metres apart:

Mass of objects are m1 and m2

Gravitational force 'F1' = 2N

Inputting values into the formula :

2 = Gm1m2 / 2^2 - - - - - (1)

At a distance 'r' of 4meters apart:

Mass of objects are m1 and m2

Gravitational force 'F2' = y

Inputting values

F2 = Gm1m2 / 4^2 - - - - - (2)

Dividing equations 1 and 2

2 = Gm1m2 / 2^2 ÷ F2 = Gm1m2 / 4^2

2 / F2 = (Gm1m2 / 4) / (Gm1m2 / 16)

2 / F2 = (Gm1m2 / 4) × (16 / Gm1m2)

2/F2 = 16 / 4

Cross multiply

2 × 4 = 16 × F2

8 = 16F2

F2 = 8/16

F2 = 0.5N

insens350 [35]

Answer : The correct option is, (d) 4 times

Solution :

According to the Coulomb's law, the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the the charges.

Formula used :

F=k_e\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

where,

F = electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion

k_e = Coulomb's constant

q_1 and q_2 are the charges

r = distance between two charges

First we have to calculate the force exerted between S and q when the distance between the charge is 1 unit and let us assumed that the charge be 'q'

F_{sq}=k_e\frac{qq}{1^2}=k_e\times q^2       ..........(1)

Now we have to calculate the force exerted between S and p when the distance between the charge is 2 unit at the same charge.

F_{sp}=k_e\frac{qq}{2^2}=k_e\frac{q^2}{4}     ...........(2)

Equation equation 1 and 2, we get

\frac{F_{sq}}{F_{sp}}=\frac{1}{4}

F_{sq}=4\times F_{sp}

Therefore, the force exerted between S and q is 4 times the force exerted between S and p.

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

F_a=1470\ N

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When objects are in contact with other objects or rough surfaces, the friction forces appear when we try to move them with respect to each other. The friction forces always have a direction opposite to the intended motion, i.e. if the object is pushed to the right, the friction force is exerted to the left.

There are two blocks, one of 400 kg on a horizontal surface and other of 100 kg on top of it tied to a vertical wall by a string. If we try to push the first block, it will not move freely, because two friction forces appear: one exerted by the surface and the other exerted by the contact between both blocks. Let's call them Fr1 and Fr2 respectively. The block 2 is attached to the wall by a string, so it won't simply move with the block 1.  

Please find the free body diagrams in the figure provided below.

The equilibrium condition for the mass 1 is

\displaystyle F_a-F_{r1}-F_{r2}=m.a=0

The mass m1 is being pushed by the force Fa so that slipping with the mass m2 barely occurs, thus the system is not moving, and a=0. Solving for Fa

\displaystyle F_a=F_{r1}+F_{r2}.....[1]

The mass 2 is tried to be pushed to the right by the friction force Fr2 between them, but the string keeps it fixed in position with the tension T. The equation in the horizontal axis is

\displaystyle F_{r2}-T=0

The friction forces are computed by

\displaystyle F_{r2}=\mu \ N_2=\mu\ m_2\ g

\displaystyle F_{r1}=\mu \ N_1=\mu(m_1+m_2)g

Recall N1 is the reaction of the surface on mass m1 which holds a total mass of m1+m2.

Replacing in [1]

\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ m_2\ g\ +\mu(m_1+m_2)g

Simplifying

\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ g(m_1+2\ m_2)

Plugging in the values

\displaystyle F_{a}=0.25(9.8)[400+2(100)]

\boxed{F_a=1470\ N}
