Answer : The correct option is, (d) 4 times

Solution :

According to the Coulomb's law, the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the the charges.

Formula used :

F=k_e\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

where,

F = electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion

k_e = Coulomb's constant

q_1 and q_2 are the charges

r = distance between two charges

First we have to calculate the force exerted between S and q when the distance between the charge is 1 unit and let us assumed that the charge be 'q'

F_{sq}=k_e\frac{qq}{1^2}=k_e\times q^2       ..........(1)

Now we have to calculate the force exerted between S and p when the distance between the charge is 2 unit at the same charge.

F_{sp}=k_e\frac{qq}{2^2}=k_e\frac{q^2}{4}     ...........(2)

Equation equation 1 and 2, we get

\frac{F_{sq}}{F_{sp}}=\frac{1}{4}

F_{sq}=4\times F_{sp}

Therefore, the force exerted between S and q is 4 times the force exerted between S and p.

A coffee filter of mass 1.2 grams dropped from a height of 1 m reaches the ground with a speed of 0.8 m/s. How much kinetic ener
iren [92.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy gained by the air molecules is 0.011 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

Here, the potential energy of the coffee filter is getting converted into kinetic energy of the coffee filter and some energy is lost by it which is gained by the air molecules in the form of kinetic energy.

So, calculating the potential energy of coffee filter, we use the equation:

P = mgh

where,

m = mass of coffee filter = 1.2 g = 1.2\times 10^{-3}kg    (Conversion used: 1 kg = 1000 g)

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

h = height of coffee filter = 1 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

P=1.2\times 10^{-3}kg\times 9.8m/s^2\times 1m\\\\P=1.176\times 10^{-2}J

  • Calculating the kinetic energy of coffee filter, we use the equation:

E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

m = mass of coffee filter = 1.2 g = 1.2\times 10^{-3}kg

v = speed of coffee filter = 0.8 m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2\times 10^{-3}kg\times (0.8m/s)^2\\\\E=3.84\times 10^{-4}J

As, energy lost by coffee filter = energy gained by air molecules

So, energy lost by coffee filter = Potential energy - Kinetic energy

Energy lost by coffee filter = (1.176\times 10^{-2})-(3.84\times 10^{-4})=0.011J

Hence, the energy gained by the air molecules is 0.011 J.

How is an image formed by a plane mirror
masha68 [24]
Is always virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come.

A girl delivering newspapers covers her route by traveling 5.00 blocks west, 5.00 blocks north, and then 7.00 blocks east. What
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

P = 2i + 5j

Therefore she is 2 blocks east and 5 blocks north.

Resultant P = √(2^2 + 5^2) = √(4+25) = √29 = 5.4 blocks

Angle = taninverse (5/2)

Angle = 68.2°

Explanation:

Given:

Let west be negative and east be positive x axis.

Let north be the positive y axis.

5.00blocks west = -5.00 i

5.00 blocks north = 5.00 j

7.00 blocks east = 7.00i

Addition of the vector form of hee position is;

P = -5i +7i -5j

P = 2i + 5j

Therefore she is 2 blocks east and 5 blocks north.

Resultant P = √(2^2 + 5^2) = √(4+25) = √29 = 5.4 blocks

Angle = taninverse (5/2)

Angle = 68.2°
