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.

What displacement do I have if I travel at 10 m/s E for 10 s? <br> I need this fast
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

100m.

Explanation:

Simply put, displacement is how far you've been displaced from your starting location. say you start at 0. You now travel E (assuming East) at 10 m/s for 10 s. Now, let's assume m is meters and s is seconds. you moved east at 10 meters per second for 10 seconds. This means that for each second you moved east, you moved 10 meters. Therefore, your displacement is 100 meters because 10 times 10 is 100. So you would write 100m as your displacement.
