Answer:

The new force will decrease to one sixth the original value.

Explanation:

It is given that,

One charge is decreased to one-third of its original value, and a second charge is decreased to one-half of its original value.

Let, q'_1=\dfrac{1}{3}q_1 q₁ is the charge 1

q'_2=\dfrac{1}{2}q_2 q₂ is the charge 2

Initially, the electrical force between the charges is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}...........(1)

Let F' is the new force i.e.

F'=k\dfrac{q'_1q'_2}{r^2}

So,

F'=k\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}q_1\times \dfrac{1}{2}q_2}{r^2}

F'=\dfrac{1}{6}k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

F'=\dfrac{1}{6}F  (from equation 1)

Hence, the new force will decrease to one sixth the original value.

A particle moving on a circle has a velocity of 5 m/s and a normal acceleration of 10 m/s^2. What is the radius of the circle?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Radius of the circle will be 2.5 m

Explanation:

We have given velocity of particle moving in the circle v = 5 m/sec

Acceleration of particle in the circle a=10m/sec^2

We have to find the radius of the circle

We know that acceleration is given by a=\frac{v^2}{r}

So 10=\frac{5^2}{r}

r=\frac{25}{10}=2.5m

So radius of the circle will be 2.5 m

If the number of crests that pass a point in a given time increases, what has increased?
zysi [14]
The frequency increasing makes the crests pass more quickly.  Frequency is a count of how many times per second an event occurs.  In waves, this event is the passing of an entire cycle.  Once the cycle has passed, the wave repeats.  The faster the wave repeats, the higher the frequency.  For this reason, frequency has units of hertz, Hz.  The unit of hertz is 1/s or "per second"

a small table has a mass of 4kg, stands on four legs, each leg having an area of 0.001 m2. what is the pressure exerted by the t
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

P = 10 kPa

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a small table, m = 4 kg

The area of each leg = 0.001 m²

We need to find the pressure exerted by the table on the floor. Pressure is equal to the force per unit area. So

P=\dfrac{mg}{4\times A}\\\\P=\dfrac{4\times 10}{4\times 0.001}\\P=10000\ Pa\\\\or\\\\P=10\ kPa

So, the required pressure is 10 kPa.

What happens when you get a concussion?
madreJ [45]
A concussion, which is a form of mild traumatic brain injury, occurs after a blow to the head. The brain is surrounded by fluid and protective membranes called meninges, which usually cushion the brain. During an impact, the brain is pushed against the inside of the skull and can be bruised.

do constructive inference occur when the compression of one wave meets up with the compression of a second wave
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There are two types of interference possible when two waves meet at the same point:

- Constructive interference: this occurs when the two waves meet in phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinale wave) meets with the crest (compression) of the other wave. In such a case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is twice that of the original wave.

- Destructive interferece: this occurs when the two waves meet in anti-phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinal wave) meets with the trough (rarefaction) of the other wave. In this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is zero, since the amplitudes of the two waves cancel out.

In this problem, we have a situation where the compression of one wave meets with the compression of the second wave, so we have constructive interference.
