Two point charges are separated by 6 cm. The attractive force between them is 20 N. Find the force between them when they are se

parated by 12 cm. (Why can you solve this problem without knowing the magnitudes of the charges?)

Answer:

5 N

Explanation:

F_1 = 20 N

r_1 = 6 cm

r_2 = 12 cm

k = Coulomb constat

q = Charge

\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2}}{\dfrac{kq_2q_2}{r_2^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{12^2}{6^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=4\\\Rightarrow F_2=\dfrac{F_1}{4}\\\Rightarrow F_2=\dfrac{20}{4}\\\Rightarrow F_2=5\ N

The force is 5 N

A helicopter flies 168 miles against the wind in 2 hours; with the wind, it can fly 252 miles in the same amount of time. find t
posledela

Let v_h be the speed of the helicopter in still air. Let v_w be the speed of the wind. Then, from the given information,

(v_h-v_w)2=168\\ (v_h+v_w)2=252\\

Adding the above 2 equations,

4v_h=168+252\\ 4v_h=420\\ v_h=105

The speed of the helicopter in still air 105 \;mi/hour
