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>

NASA has asked your team of rocket scientists about the feasibility of a new satellite launcher that will save rocket fuel. NASA
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The answer is "q=0.0945\,C".

Explanation:

Its minimum velocity energy is provided whenever the satellite(charge 4 q) becomes 15 m far below the square center generated by the electrode (charge q).

U_i=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \times \frac{4\times4q^2}{\sqrt{(15)^2+(5/\sqrt2)^2}}

It's ultimate energy capacity whenever the satellite is now in the middle of the electric squares:

U_f=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\ \times \frac{4\times4q^2}{( \frac{5}{\sqrt{2}})}

Potential energy shifts:

= U_f -U_i \\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{(15)^2+( \frac{5}{\sqrt{2})^2)}}\right ) \\\\   =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{ 15 +( \frac{5}{2})}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{ (\frac{30+5}{2})}}\right )\\\\

=\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{ (\frac{35}{2})}}\right )\\\\=\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{17.5}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{ 24.74- 5 }{87.5}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{ 19.74- 5 }{87.5}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{4q^2}{\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( 0.2256 }\right )\\\\= \frac{0.28 \times q^2}{ \epsilon_0}\\\\=q^2\times31.35 \times10^9\,J

Now that's the energy necessary to lift a satellite of 100 kg to 300 km across the surface of the earth.

=\frac{GMm}{R}-\frac{GMm}{R+h} \\\\=(6.67\times10^{-11}\times6.0\times10^{24}\times100)\left(\frac{1}{6400\times1000}-\frac{1}{6700\times1000} \right ) \\\\ =(6.67\times10^{-11}\times6.0\times10^{26})\left(\frac{1}{64\times10^{5}}-\frac{1}{67\times10^{5}} \right ) \\\\=(6.67\times6.0\times10^{15})\left(\frac{67 \times 10^{5} - 64 \times 10^{5}  }{ 4,228 \times10^{5}} \right ) \\\\

=( 40.02\times10^{15})\left(\frac{3 \times 10^{5}}{ 4,228 \times10^{5}} \right ) \\\\ =40.02 \times10^{15} \times 0.0007 \\\\

\\\\ =0.02799\times10^{10}\,J \\\\= q^2\times31.35\times10^{9} \\\\ =0.02799\times10^{10} \\\\q=0.0945\,C

This satellite is transmitted by it system at a height of 300 km and not in orbit, any other mechanism is required to bring the satellite into space.

A battery charger is connected to a dead battery and delivers a current of 3.5 a for 4 hours, keeping the voltage across the bat
oksano4ka [1.4K]
The power delivered is equal to the product between the voltage V and the current I:
P=VI=(16 V)(3.5 A)=56 W

This power is delivered for a total time of t=4h=4 \cdot 3600 s = 14400 s, so the total energy delivered to the battery is
E=Pt = (56 W)(14400 s)=806400 J=806.4 kJ
