Answer:

The separation between the charges was decreased by a factor of 0.2

Explanation:

The Coulomb's force between two charges is given by;

F = \frac{kq^2}{r^2} \\\\let \ kq^2 \ be \ constant\\\\F_1r_1^2 = F_2r_2^2\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{F_1r_1^2}{F_2} \\\\increasing \ the \ force \ between \ them \ by \ factor \ of \ 25\\\\(F_2 = 25F_1)\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{F_1r_1^2}{25F_1}\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{r_1^2}{25}\\\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{r_1^2}{25} }\\\\ r_2 = \frac{r_1}{5}

r₂ = 0.2r₁

Therefore, the separation between the charges was decreased by a factor of 0.2.

Answer:

A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object. Whenever there is an interaction between two objects, there is a force upon each of the objects. ... Forces only exist as a result of an interaction.

A 0.30-kg object connected to a light spring with a force constant of 22.6 N/m oscillates on a frictionless horizontal surface.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

(a)  vmax = 0.34m/s

(b)  v = 0.13m/s

(c)  v = 0.31m/s

(d)  x = 0.039m

Explanation:

Given information about the spring-mass system:

m: mass of the object = 0.30kg

k: spring constant = 22.6 N/m

A: amplitude of the motion = 4.0cm = 0.04m

(a) The maximum speed of the object is given by the following formula:

v_{max}=\omega A       (1)

w: angular frequency of the motion.

The angular frequency is calculated with the following relation:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}           (2)

You replace the expression (2) into the equation (1) and replace the values of the parameters:

v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}A=\sqrt{\frac{22.6N/m}{0.30kg}}(0.04m)=0.34\frac{m}{s}

The maximum speed of the object is 0.34 m/s

(b) If the object is compressed 1.5cm the amplitude of its motion is A = 0.015m, and the maximum speed is:

v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{22.6N/m}{0.30kg}}(0.015m)=0.13\frac{m}{s}

The speed is 0.13m/s

(c) To find the speed of the object when it passes the point x=1.5cm, you first take into account the equation of motion:

x=Acos(\omega t)

You solve the previous equation for t:

t=\frac{1}{\omega}cos^{-1}(\frac{x}{A})\\\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{22.6N/m}{0.30kg}}=8.67\frac{rad}{s}\\\\t=\frac{1}{8.67}cos^{-1}(\frac{1.5cm}{4.0cm})=0.13s

With this value of t, you can calculate the speed of the object with the following formula:

v=\omega Asin(\omega t)\\\\v=(8.67rad/s)(0.04m)sin((8.67rad/s)(0.13s))=0.31\frac{m}{s}

The speed of the object for x = 1.5cm is v = 0.31 m/s

(d) To calculate the values of x on which v is one-half the maximum speed, you first calculate the time t:

\frac{v_{max}}{2}=\omega A sin(\omega t)\\\\t=\frac{1}{\omega}sin^{-1}(\frac{v_{max}}{2\omega A})\\\\t=\frac{1}{8.67rad/s}sin^{-1}(\frac{0.13m/s}{2(8.67rad/s)(0.04m)})=0.021s

The position will be:

x=Acos(\omega t)=0.04mcos((8.67rad/s)(0.021s))=0.039m

The position of the object on which its speed is one-half its maximum velocity is 0.039

Margaret [11]

Answer:

0.17 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 0.15 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

0.15 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.17 s

user100 [1]

Answer:

1.6 m/s^2

Explanation:

Hello!

To calculate the acceleration we must know the electric field. The electric field and the potential are related by:

E = -\frac{dV}{dx} =- 2.6(\frac{V}{m^{2}})x + 8.1(\frac{V}{m^{3}})x^{2}

If the particle starts at 2.3m, the electric field is:

E = 36.869 V/m = 36.869 N/C

So, the force on the particle is:

F = q E =  2.3×10^−6 C * 36.869 N/C = 8.48 x 10^-5 N

And its acceleration is :

a = F/m =  8.48 x 10^-5 N / 5.4×10−5 kg = 1.57 m/s^2

Rounded to two significant figures:

1.6 m/s^2
