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.

Mr.Z holds 200 kg above his head for 5 seconds. What is the work done on the weights?
Alenkasestr [34]

m = mass held by mr. Z above his head = 200 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

F = force applied by mr. Z to hold the mass

Using equilibrium of force , force equation is given as

F = mg

F = (200) (9.8)

F = 1960 N

Since the mass is not moved,

d = displacement of the mass = 0 m

we know that , work done is given as

W = F d

inserting the values

W = (1960) (0)

W = 0 J

Write the newtons formula for the velocity of sound in air .how did Laplace correct this formula ? ​
Inga [223]

Answer:

1:    v = √E/ρ where E is the elasticity and ρ is the density. Newton's assumed that sound wave travel in air under isothermal condition

2:  He corrected Newton's formula by assuming that, there is no heat exchange takes place as the compression and rarefaction takes place very fast. Thus, the temperature does not remain constant and the propagation of the sound wave in air is an adiabatic process.
