The electric force between two charged objects of charge +Q0 that are separated by a distance R0 is F0. The charge of one of the

objects is increased to +3Q0, and the separation distance between the objects is reduced to R02. In terms of F0, what is the new electric force between the two objects?

Answer:

F=3F_o(\frac{R_o}{R_{o2}})^2

Explanation:

This problem is approached using Coulomb's law of electrostatic attraction which states that the force F of attraction or repulsion between two point charges, Q_1 and Q_2 is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of their distance of separation R.

F=\frac{kQ_1Q_2}{R^2}..................(1)

where k is the electrostatic constant.

We can make k the subject of formula  as follows;

k=\frac{FR^2}{Q_1Q_2}...........(2)

Since k is a constant, equation (2) implies that the ratio of the product of the of the force and the distance between two charges to the product of charges is a constant. Hence if we alter the charges or their distance of separation and take the same ratio as stated in equation(2) we will get the same result, which is k.

According to the problem, one of the two identical charges was altered from Q_o to 3Q_o and their distance of separation from R_o to R_{o2}, this also made the force between them to change from F_o to F_{o2}. Therefore as stated by equation (2), we can write the following;

\frac{F_oR_o^2}{Q_o*Q_o}=\frac{F_{o2}R_{o2}^2}{3Q_o*Q_o}.............(3)

Therefore;

\frac{F_oR_o^2}{Q_o^2}=\frac{F_{o2}R_{o2}^2}{3Q_o^2}.............(4)

From equation (4) we now make the new force F_{o2} the subject of formula as follows;

{F_oR_o^2}*{3Q_o^2}=F_{o2}R_{o2}^2*{Q_o^2}

Q_o then cancels out from both side of the equation, hence we obtain the following;

3{F_oR_o^2}=F_{o2}R_{o2}^2.............(4)

From equation (4) we can now write the following;

F_{o2}=\frac{3F_oR_o^2}{R_{o2}^2}

This could also be expressed as follows;

F_{o2}=3F_o(\frac{R_o}{R_{o2}})^2

Mass, volume and density are all properties of
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Properties of matter

Explanation:

All properties of matter are either extensive or intensive and either physical or chemical. Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter that is being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of matter.

An object with a mass of 375g is moving with a constant velocity. It has a force of -20 N applied to it. Determine the accelerat
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Convert the mass to kg:

375g = 375/1000kg = 0.375kg

F = ma

-20 = 0.375a

a = -20/0.375

a = -53

The object is accelerating at 53m/s/s backwards assuming that the forward motion is positive.

An electric generator converts kinetic energy into which kind of energy?
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Electrical Energy

Explanation:

An electric generator is a device that changes kinetic energy to electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating electric current with a magnetic field. ... Because the coil is rotating in a magnetic field, electric current is generated in the wire.

At an amusement park, a 7.00 kg swimmer uses a water slide to enter the main pool. The swimmer starts at rest, slides without fr
telo118 [61]

Answer:

27.44 J

Explanation:

We can find the energy at the top of the slide by using the potential energy equation:

  • PE = mgh

At the top of the slide, the swimmer has 0 kinetic energy and maximum potential energy.

The swimmer's mass is given as 7.00 kg.

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s².

The (vertical) height of the water slide is 0.40 m.

Substitute these values into the potential energy equation:

  • PE = (7.00)(9.8)(0.40)
  • PE = 27.44

Since there is 0 kinetic energy at the top of the slide, the total energy present is the swimmer's potential energy.

Therefore, the answer is 27.44 J of energy when the swimmer is at the top of the slide.
