Coulomb's law states that the force F of attraction between two oppositely charged particles varies jointly as the magnitude of

their electrical charges q1 and q2 and inversely as the square of the distance d between the particles. Find the effect on F of doubling q1 and q2 and halving the distance between them.

Answer: Force F will be one-sixteenth of the new force when the charges are doubled and distance halved

Explanation:

Let the charges be q1 and q2 and the distance between the charges be 'd'

Mathematical representation of coulombs law will be;

F1=kq1q2/d²...(1)

Where k is the electrostatic constant.

If q1 and q2 is doubled and the distance halved, we will have;

F2 = k(2q1)(2q2)/(d/2)²

F2 = 4kq1q2/(d²/4)

F2 = 16kq1q2/d²...(2)

Dividing equation 1 by 2

F1/F2 = kq1q2/d² ÷ 16kq1q2/d²

F1/F2 = kq1q2/d² × d²/16kq1q2

F1/F2 = 1/16

F1 = 1/16F2

This shows that the force F will be one-sixteenth of the new force when the charges are doubled and distance halved

A block of mass 500g is pulled from rest on ahorizontal frictionless bench by a steady force F and travels 8m in 2s find the acc
Korvikt [17]

<u>We are Given:</u>

Mass of the block (m) = 500 grams or 0.5 Kg

Initial velocity of the block (u) = 0 m/s

Distance travelled by the block (s) = 8 m

Time taken to cover 8 m (t)= 2 seconds

Acceleration of the block (a) = a m/s²

<u>Solving for the acceleration:</u>

From the seconds equation of motion:

s = ut + 1/2* (at²)

<em>replacing the variables</em>

8 = (0)(2) + 1/2(a)(2)²

8 = 2a

a = 4 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the block is 4 m/s²

Most fish fossils are: <u>D. from sharks, eels, and stingrays</u>.

<u>Explanation</u>:

A fossil is a preserved part or trace of a living being in the geological age. Animals, fish, bones and shells are some of the fossils. Fish fossils are the dead fish that are found under the river bed or ocean.

The dead animals in the water bodies are buried under the mud for long period of time. The soft tissues of the animals are decomposed leaving the dry bones.

There are five different types of fossils. They are  

i) Body fossils

ii) Molds and casts

iii) Petrification fossils

iv) Footprints and trackways

v) Coprolites

One of the common fossils is shark tooth. The tooth of the sharks is shed continuously. The fish fossils are found at the bottom of the ocean, lake and pond deposits.
