Electrostatic force changes like the inverse square of the distance (just like gravity).

If you double the distance, you change the force to 1/4 of what it used to be.

After the move, Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a force of (18/16) = 1.125 units .

*How much energy is<br>transferred in lifting a 5 kg<br>Mass 3m

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

147 J

Explanation:

The energy transferred to potential energy is :

U = m * g * h = (5 kg) * (9.8 m/s^2) * (3 m) = 147 J

a flag of mass 2.5 kg is supported by a single rope. A strong horizontal wind exerts a force of 12 N on the flag. Calculate the

tatuchka [14]

The free-body diagram of the forces acting on the flag is in the picture in attachment.

We have: the weight, downward, with magnitude
$W=mg = (2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N$
the force of the wind F, acting horizontally, with intensity
$F=12 N$
and the tension T of the rope. To write the conditions of equilibrium, we must decompose T on both x- and y-axis (x-axis is taken horizontally whil y-axis is taken vertically):
$T \cos \alpha -F=0$
$T \sin \alpha -W=$
By dividing the second equation by the first one, we get
$\tan \alpha = \frac{W}{F}= \frac{24.5 N}{12 N}=2.04$
From which we find
$\alpha = 63.8 ^{\circ}$
which is the angle of the rope with respect to the horizontal.

By replacing this value into the first equation, we can also find the tension of the rope:
$T= \frac{F}{\cos \alpha}= \frac{12 N}{\cos 63.8^{\circ}}=27.2 N$

The rock will continue to travel in a straight line with a constant velocity for ever... The reason is, once it leaves your hand there is no force acting on the rock, so it will just continue to move in a natural motion which is constant velocity.

When does a driver have to stop for a school bus

Tcecarenko [31]

A driver have to stop for a school bus when the red lights are flashing and there is no barrier between his/her vehicle and the bus.

<h3>What are traffic rules?</h3>

Traffic rules are rules that are expected to follow by the road users for the safety of everyone using the road.

For instance, when the red lights are flashing , it simply means to stop, while the green light means that the vehicle can continue to move, and yellow light means to be at alert to move.
