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

Naily [24]3 years ago

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.

A cellphone charger has a transformer with 2000 turns in the primary coil which converts 240v a.c to 6v a.c and a rectifier that
inn [45]

Answer:

As we are converting 220V AC into a 5V DC, first we need a step-down transformer to reduce such high voltage. Here we have used 9-0-9 1A step-down transformer, which convert 220V AC to 9V AC. In transformer there are primary and secondary coils which step up or step down the voltage according to the no of turn in the coils.

Selection of proper transformer is very important. Current rating depends upon the Current requirement of Load circuit (circuit which will use the generate DC). The voltage rating should be more than the required voltage. Means if we need 5V DC, transformer should at least have a rating of 7V, because voltage regulator IC 7805 at least need 2V more i.e. 7V to provide a 5V voltage.

Which type of wave results from a moderately sloping coastal region?
Naddik [55]

Hey there!

Your answer: Spilling breaker

Spilling breaker usually occurs when a beach or ocean is flat, and as the waves of the wind continues to happen, slowly the region would eventually become a slope.

It's almost like play-dough. Let's say that we set a perfect flat surface of play-dough on the table. As we continue slide our hands one direction, doesn't the play dough have more on one side than the other? It eventually contains a slope if you add enough from the first place.

Your answer: Spilling breaker

A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires 165 N force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in motion, a 12
bazaltina [42]

The coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor is 0.67

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the chair = 25kg

Force = 165 N (F_applied)

Force = 127 N (F_max)

To find: Coefficient of static friction  

The “coefficient of static friction” between a chair and the floor is defined as the ration of maximum force to the normal force acting on the chair  

μ_s=F_{max}/F_{n}  

The F_n is equal to the weight multiplied by its gravity

∴F_{n}=mg  

Thus the coefficient of static friction changes as

μ_s=F_{max}/mg

μ_{s} = =165N/((25kg)\times(9.80 m/s^2 ) )

= 0.67

A woman living in a third-story apartment is moving out. Rather than carrying everything down the stairs, she decides to pack he
Flura [38]

Answer:

T = 480.2N

Explanation:

In order to find the required force, you take into account that the sum of forces must be equal to zero if the object has a constant speed.

The forces on the boxes are:

T-Mg=0      (1)

T: tension of the rope

M: mass of the boxes 0= 49kg

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

The pulley is frictionless, then, you can assume that the tension of the rope T, is equal to the force that the woman makes.

By using the equation (1) you obtain:

T=Mg=(49kg)(9.8m/s^2)=480.2N

The woman needs to pull the rope at 480.2N
