Iron and nickel are the elements most similar to cobalt
Answer:
1) Q ’= 8 Q
, 2) q ’= 16 q
, 3) r ’= ¾ r
Explanation:
For this exercise we will use Coulomb's law
F = k q Q / r²
It asks us to calculate the change of any of the parameters so that the force is always F
Original values
q, Q, r
Scenario 1
q ’= 2q
r ’= 4r
F = k q ’Q’ / r’²
we substitute
F = k 2q Q ’/ (4r)²
F = k 2q Q '/ 16r²
we substitute the value of F
k q Q / r² = k q Q '/ 8r²
Q ’= 8 Q
Scenario 2
Q ’= Q
r ’= 4r
we substitute
F = k q ’Q / 16r²
k q Q / r² = k q’ Q / 16 r²
q ’= 16 q
Scenario 3
q ’= 3/2 q
Q ’= ⅜ Q
we substitute
k q Q r² = k (3/2 q) (⅜ Q) / r’²
r’² = 9/16 r²
r ’= ¾ r
