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

Darya [45]

Answer:

44.4 m/s

Explanation:

d = 80 m, t = 1.8 s, find v

d = v*t

v = d/t = 80/1.8 = 44.4 m/s

The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is f1. planet 2, which is three times as massive as planet 1 and orbit
Margaret [11]

Let  us consider two bodies having masses m and m' respectively.

Let they are  separated by a distance of r from each other.

As per the Newtons law of gravitation ,the gravitational force between two bodies is given as -  F = G\frac{mm'}{r^{2} }   where G is the gravitational force constant.

From the above we see that F ∝ mm' and F\alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }

Let the orbital radius of planet  A is r_{1}  = r and mass of planet is m_{1}.

Let the mass of central star is m .

Hence the gravitational force for planet A  is f_{1} =G \frac{m_{1}*m }{r^{2} }

For planet B the orbital radius  r_{2} =2r_{1} and mass m_{2} = 3 m_{1}

Hence the gravitational force f_{2} =G\frac{m m_{2} }{r^{2} }

                                                 f_{2} =G\frac{m*3m_{1} }{[2r_{1}] ^{2} }

                                                 = \frac{3}{4} G\frac{mm_{1} }{r_{1} ^{2} }

Hence the ratio is  \frac{f_{2} }{f_{1} } = \frac{\frac{3}{4}G mm_{1/r_{1} ^2}  }{Gmm_{1}/r_{1} ^2 }

                                      =\frac{3}{4}     [ ans]

OlgaM077 [116]
The IRB at the university will decide whether her study meets ethical guidelines before it is initiated. The importance of these codes of conduct is to safeguard research participants, the status of psychology and the researchers or psychologists themselves. Moral issues hardly yield a simple, unequivocal, right or wrong answer. It is consequently often a matter of judgment whether the research is justified or not. For instance, it might be that a study roots psychological or physical uneasiness to participants, maybe they agonize pain or maybe even come to solemn harm.
