Answer:
1. Largest force: C; smallest force: B; 2. ratio = 9:1
Explanation:
The formula for the force exerted between two charges is
where K is the Coulomb constant.
q₁ and q₂ are also identical and constant, so Kq₁q₂ is also constant.
For simplicity, let's combine Kq₁q₂ into a single constant, k.
Then, we can write
1. Net force on each particle
Let's
- Call the distance between adjacent charges d.
- Remember that like charges repel and unlike charges attract.
Define forces exerted to the right as positive and those to the left as negative.
(a) Force on A
(b) Force on B
(C) Force on C
(d) Force on D
(e) Relative net forces
In comparing net forces, we are interested in their magnitude, not their direction (sign), so we use their absolute values.
2. Ratio of largest force to smallest
ANSWER:
250 J
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
F = 20N is required to stretch the spring by 4 meters
We know that the force is equal to:
We solve for k (spring constant):
The work done in stretching the spring is given by the following equation (in this case the stretch is 10 meters:
The work required is 250 joules.
