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 thin, light wire 75.1 cm long having a circular cross section 0.555 mm in diameter has a 25.4 kg weight attached to it, causin
seraphim [82]

Answer:

(a) 3.23×10⁸ N/m²

(b)  1.46×10⁻³

(c) 2.21×10¹¹ N/m²

Explanation:

(a) Stress = Force/Area.

Stress = F/A................ Equation 1

But,

F = mg................. Equation 2

Where m = mass, and g = acceleration due to gravity

A = πd²/4................. Equation 3

d = diameter of the circular cross section.

Substitute equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1

Stress = 4mg/πd²............. Equation 4

Given: m = 25.4 kg, d = 0.555 mm = 0.000555 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s², π = 3.142

Substitute these values into equation 4

Stress = 4(25.4)(9.8)/(3.142×0.00555²)

Stress = 995.68/(3.08×10⁻⁶)

Stress = 3.23×10⁸ N/m²

(b)

Strain = ΔL/L.............. Equation 5

Where ΔL = extension, L = Length.

Given: ΔL = 1.1 mm = 0.0011 m, L = 75.1 cm = 0.751 m

Substitute into equation 5

Strain = 0.0011/0.751

Strain = 1.46×10⁻³.

(c)

Young modulus = Stress/Strain

Young modulus = 3.23×10⁸/ 1.46×10⁻³

Young modulus = 2.21×10¹¹ N/m²

In which one of the following situations is zero net work done? A) A ball rolls down an inclined plane. B) A physics student str
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.

In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.  

In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.
