Two point charges, one ​q and the other – q, form a dipole separated by a distance d. A third charge Q is placed midway between

these two charges. If the distance between q and – q is then doubled with the Q staying midway between the other two, what happens to the force on Q?

4 0

Answer:

it will reduce by 4

Explanation:

From Coulomb's law,

Force is inversely proportional to distance of separation between the centre of the two charges.

when d is doubled, the force between q and -q will reduce by a factor of 4 same also applies to the force on Q and any of q or -q

yKpoI14uk [10]
Applying the Newton Second Law of motion that is F=ma
We have F=395.2N (North) and m=259.1Kg

Putting these values in the equation

395.2 = 259.1 x a than
for a = 395.2/259.1
a = 1.525 m/sec 2

How would a person's mass be affected by traveling to Saturn and why?
IrinaK [193]
A person's mass would not change before, during, or after a trip to Saturn, unless he gained or lost some weight as a result of unrelated eating habits, because mass doesn't depend on an object's location, gravitational environment, color, cost,
texture, temperature, political affiliation or gender orientation.
