two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each one initially experiences an electrostatic force of m

agnitude f due to the other. with time, charge gradually diminishes on both spheres by leaking off. when each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge, what will be the magnitude of the electrostatic force on each one?

The magnitude of the electrostatic force on each one will be ¼ of its initial electrosatic force

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Electric charge consists of two types i.e. positively electric charge and negatively electric charge.

There was a famous scientist who investigated about this charges. His name is Coulomb and succeeded in formulating the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges i.e. :

\large {\boxed {F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{R^2} } }

<em>F = electric force (N)</em>

<em>k = electric constant (N m² / C²)</em>

<em>q = electric charge (C)</em>

<em>r = distance between charges (m)</em>

<em>The value of k in a vacuum = 9 x 10⁹ (N m² / C²)</em>

Let's tackle the problem now !

<u>Given:</u>

Q₁' = ½ Q₁

Q₂' = ½ Q₂

<u>Unknown:</u>

F' = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

For this problem we will use a comparison of the two conditions as follows.

F' : F = k\frac{Q_1'Q_2'}{R^2} : k\frac{Q_1Q_2}{R^2}

F' : F = Q_1'Q_2' : Q_1Q_2

F' : F = (\frac{1}{2}Q_1)(\frac{1}{2}Q_2) : (Q_1Q_2)

F' : F = \frac{1}{4} : 1

F' = \frac{1}{4} F

The electrostatic force is directly proportional to the product of the charges, by Coulomb's law.

F α Qq

If the charges are now half the initial charges: 

<span>F α (1/2)Q *(1/2)q
</span>
F α (1/4)Q<span>q

The new force when the charges are each halved is (1/4) the first initial force experienced at full charge.</span>

. A 1.50kg mass on a spring has a displacement as a function of time given by the equation: x(t) = (7.40cm)cos[(4.16s-1)t – 2.42
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Solution:

we have given the equation of motion is x(t)=8sint [where t in seconds and x in centimeter]

Position, velocity and acceleration are all based on the equation of motion.

The equation represents the position.  The first derivative gives the velocity and the 2nd derivative gives the acceleration.

x(t)=8sint

x'(t)=8cost

x"(t)=-8sint

now at time t=2pi/3,

position, x(t)=8sin(2pi/3)=4*squart(3)cm.

velocity, x'(t)=8cos(2pi/3)==4cm/s

acceleration, x"(t)==8sin(2pi/3)=-4cm/s^2

so at present the direction is in y-axis.

A truck is traveling at 2.0 m/s. It slows to a stop at a constant rate over 3.00 s. How far does the car travel during those 3.0
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

During those 3.00 seconds before stopping, the car travels a distance of 6 m.

Explanation:

The simple rule of three is a tool that is used to quickly solve problems, where three pieces of information must be known, and one of them operates as an unknown to be known.

Two magnitudes are directly proportional if one magnitude increases the other also does it, and if the magnitude decreases the other in the same way.

Being a, b and c known data and x the unknown, the value that we want to know, the rule of three when the magnitudes are directly proportional is applied as follows:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So: x=\frac{c*b}{a}

In this case, knowing that a truck travels at 2 m/s, the rule of three applies as follows: if in 1 second the truck travels 2 m, in 3 seconds how much distance does it travel?

distance=\frac{3 s*2 m}{1 s}

distance= 6 m

<u><em> During those 3.00 seconds before stopping, the car travels a distance of 6 m.</em></u>

A car which is traveling at a velocity of 15 m/s undergoes an acceleration of 6.5 m/s2 over a distance of 340 m. How fast is it
fomenos

Answer:68.15m/s

Explanation:

<u><em>Given: </em></u>

v₁=15m/s

a=6.5m/s²

v₁=?

x=340m

<u><em>Formula:</em></u>

v₁²=v₁²+2a (x)

<u>Set up:</u>

=\sqrt{15m/s} ^{2} +2(6.5m/s^2)(340m)

<h2><u><em>Solution:</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>68.15m/s</em></u></h2>
