According to Coulomb's law, when the distance between two point charges doubles, what happens to the electric force acting betwe

Dafna11 [192]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

If the distance between charges is doubled, then the Force will become one-fourth.

F' = F/4

Explanation:

The Coulomb's Law gives the relation for the attractive or repulsive forces between two charges. The relation or formula is given as follows:

F = kq₁q₂/r²

where,

F = Attractive or Repulsive forces between the charges

k = Coulomb's Constant

q₁ = magnitude of 1st charge

q₂ = magnitude of 2nd charge

r = distance between charges

If we keep the magnitude of charges constant then the relation between Force an Distance between charges will be:

F α 1/r²

<u>So, it is clear from this relation that if the distance between charges is doubled, then the Force will become one-fourth.</u>

<u>F' = F/4</u>

An ice skater spins at 2.5 rev/s when his arms are extended. He draws his arms in and spins at 10.0 rev/s. By what factor does h
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity of the ice skater, ω₁ = 2.5 rev/s

final angular velocity of the  ice skater, ω₂ = 10.0 rev/s

During this process we assume that angular momentum is conserved;

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Where;

I₁ is the initial moment of inertia

I₂ is the final moment of inertia

I_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{\omega_2} = \frac{I_1*2.5}{10} \\\\I_2 = 0.25I_1 = \frac{1}{4}I_1

Therefore, the moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

What do we call changes between solid liquid and gaseous forms of a substance
const2013 [10]

<u>We call changes between solid liquid and gaseous forms of a substance as  phase change or change of state.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To change a substance from one state to another, extreme temperatures or pressures are required. Sometimes when a substance doesn't change states we should use all the ideas when that happens. To create a solid, we should decrease the temperature by a huge amount and then add pressure. For example, oxygen will solidify at -361.8 degrees Fahrenheit at standard pressure. However, it will freeze at warmer temperatures when the pressure is increased.

Phase changes happen when a substance reach some special points. Sometimes when a liquid becomes a solid a freezing point or melting point is used to measure the temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid. Some of the phase changes are: Condensation, Freezing, Melting.
