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

2 answers:

4 0

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 person strikes a ball with a bat. The temperature of the ball increases by 0.06ᵒC. What accounts for the increase?

marusya05 [52]

The increase in the average kinetic energy of the ball causes the increase in the temperature of the ball.

Kinetic energy of a particle is directly proportional to its temperature.

A ball initially at rest acquires kinetic energy when an external force is applied to it. As the person strikes the ball with a bat, the ball gains momentum which increases its kinetic energy of the ball.

Temperature on the other hand, is the measure of the average kinetic energy of a particle. Consequently, as the kinetic energy of the ball increases, the temperature of the ball increases as well.

Thus, we can conclude that the increase in the average kinetic energy of the ball causes the increase in the temperature of the ball.

A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days. How much energy is used? A laptop uses 75 W. The cot of el

zzz [600]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by calculating each part separately.

A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days.

Energy can be calculated by multiplying the value of the power of the equipment by the amount of time of use.

$500 [W]*[\frac{6min}{1day} ]*[\frac{1day}{24hr} ]*[\frac{1hr}{60min} ]=2.083 [W]$

The cots of electricity is 5.6 cents per kWh. How much would it cost to operate the laptop for 24 hours a day for one week?

We know that the power of the latop is 75 [W], then we can calculate the cost, multiplying the value of the power by the value of the cost by the time of use of the computer.

$0.075[kW]*5.6[\frac{cents}{kw*h}}]*[\frac{24hr}{1day}]*[1week]*[\frac{7days}{1week} ]=70.56 [cents]$

A toaster oven is 85% efficient. It uses 1200 J of energy. How much thermal energy is it producing?

Efficiency is defined as the relationship between the energy obtained on the energy delivered. Almost always the energy delivered is greater than the energy obtained (first law of thermodynamics).

Therefore.

$Effic = E_{obtained}/E_{delivered}\\0.85=E_{obtained}/1200\\E_{obtained}=1020[J]$

Sam receives the kicked football on the 3 yd line and runs straight ahead toward the goal line before cutting to the right at th

Pie

Answer:

Distance: 21 yd, displacement: 15 yd, gain in the play: 12 yd

Explanation:

The distance travelled by Sam is just the sum of the length of each part of Sam's motion, regardless of the direction. Initially, Sam run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line, so (15-3)=12 yd. Then, he run also 9 yd to the right. Therefore, the total distance is

d = 12 + 9 = 21 yd

The displacement instead is a vector connecting the starting point with the final point of the motion. Sam run first 12 yd straight ahead and then 9 yd to the right; these two motions are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the displacement simply by using Pythagorean's theorem:

$d=\sqrt{12^2+9^2}=15 yd$

Finally, the yards gained by Sam in the play are simply given by the distance covered along the forward-backward direction only. Since Sam only run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line along this direction, then the gain in this play was

d = 15 - 3 = 12 yd

Ladybug walks 10 cm forward and 5 cm backwards in 20 seconds what is the average speed of ladybug what is the average velocity

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Average speed = 0.0075 m/s

Average velocity = 0.0025 m/s along forward direction

Explanation:

Speed is the ratio of distance and time and velocity is the ratio of displacement and time.

Distance traveled = 10 + 5 = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Displacement = 10 - 5 = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Time = 20 seconds

$\texttt{Average speed = }\frac{\texttt{Distance}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\\texttt{Average speed = }\frac{0.15}{20}=7.5\times 10^{-3}m/s\\\\\texttt{Average velocity = }\frac{\texttt{Displacement}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\\texttt{Average velocity = }\frac{0.05}{20}=2.5\times 10^{-3}m/s$

Average speed = 0.0075 m/s

Average velocity = 0.0025 m/s along forward direction
