The initial force between the two charges is given by:

F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, d their separation. Let's analyze now the other situations:

1. F

In this case, q1 is halved, q2 is doubled, but the distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

q_1' = \frac{q_1}{2}\\q_2' = 2 q_2\\d' = d

So, the new force is:

F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(\frac{q_1}{2})(2q_2)}{d^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=F

So the force has not changed.

2. F/4

In this case, q1 and q2 are unchanged. The distance between the charges is doubled to 2d.

So, we have:

q_1' = q_1\\q_2' = q_2\\d' = 2d

So, the new force is:

F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{q_1 q_2)}{(2d)^2}=\frac{1}{4} k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=\frac{F}{4}

So the force has decreased by a factor 4.

3. 6F

In this case, q1 is doubled and q2 is tripled. The distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

q_1' = 2 q_1\\q_2' = 3 q_2\\d' = d

So, the new force is:

F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(2 q_1)(3 q_2)}{d^2}=6 k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=6F

So the force has increased by a factor 6.

Answer

F) q1 is halved, q2 is doubled, but the distance between the charges remains d.

F/4) q1 and q2 are unchanged. The distance between the charges is doubled to 2d.

6F) q1 is doubled and q2 is tripled. The distance between the charges remains d.

1. A 700kg racecar slowed from 30m/s to 15 m/s. What was its change in Momentum? 2. If the car in the above problem took 5 secon
s2008m [1.1K]
1. The change in momentum follows the formula:

Change in Momentum = mΔv,
where m is the mass and v is the velocity

Change in momentum = (700 kg)(15 m/s - 30 m/s) =<em> -10,500 kg·m/s</em>

2. For this problem, the formula for impulse, J, is

J = FΔt

Before answering part a, we answer for part b first.

Part B. 
F = ma
where
a = Δv/t = (15 - 30)/5 = -1 m/s²
So,
F = (700 kg)(-1 m/s²) = <em>-700 N</em>

Part A.
J = (-700 N)(5 s) =<em> -3,500 N·s</em>

What happens when a light ray passes through the focal point, and then reflects off of a convex mirror?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

A convex mirror is sometimes referred to as a diverging mirror due to the fact that incident light originating from the same point and will reflect off the mirror surface and diverge. ... After reflection, the light rays diverge; subsequently they will never intersect on the object side of the mirror.

A helicopter is ascending vertically. a passenger accidentally drops her wallet out the sides of the helicopter when it is 160 m
Advocard [28]

Answer:

(E)56.0 m/s

Explanation:

Height =h=-160 m

Because the wallet moving in downward direction

Time=t=7 s

Final speed of wallet=v=0

We have to find the speed of helicopter ascending  at the moment when the passenger let go of the wallet.

v^2-u^2=2gh

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Substitute the values

0-u^2=2(-160)\times 9.8

u^2=3136

u=\sqrt{3136}=56m/s

Option (E) is true
