How would you change the distance between two charged particles to increase the electric force between them by a factor of 16

2 answers:

The electrostatic force between two charges is inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.

So if you want to multiply the force by, say, ' Q ',
you need to multiply the distance by ( 1 / √Q ) .

We want to multiply the force by 16, so we need to
multiply the distance by ( 1 / √16 ) = ( 1 / 4 ) .

The distance should be changed to 1/4 of what it is now.

2. A 56N force is exerted on an 8kg object. What is the object's acceleration?

White raven [17]

acceleration = 7 m/s²

Explanation:

To determine the object's acceleration we use the following formula:

force (N) = mass (kg) × acceleration (m/s²)

acceleration (m/s²) = force (N) / mass (kg)

acceleration = 56 N / 8 kg

acceleration = 7 m/s²

A person is just as likely to become dehydrated in the cold as in the heat. Please select the best answer from the choices provi

alexdok [17]

The answer would be A) TRUE because we as humans can be dehydrated easily just by working out in sun or working out in the cold winter, that's how our body burns fat and calories, but it also burns our eyes since sweat has salt in it, and dehydrated means to run out of water for us, like not enough water, but yes to the answer its T.

What is the electric potential energy of a charge that experiences a force of 3.6 x 10^-4N when it is 9.8 x 10^-5 from the sourc

Levart [38]

The electric potential energy of the charge is equal to the potential at the location of the charge, V, times the charge, q:
$U=qV$
The potential is given by the magnitude of the electric field, E, times the distance, d:
$V=Ed$
So we have
$U=qEd$ (1)
However, the electric field is equal to the electrical force F divided by the charge q:
$E= \frac{F}{q}$
Therefore (1) becomes
$U=Fd$
And if we use the data of the problem, we can calculate the electrical potential energy of the charge:
$U=Fd=(3.6 \cdot 10^{-4}N)(9.8 \cdot 10^{-5} m)=3.53 \cdot 10^{-8} J$
