Answer: It will remain the same

Explanation:

According to <u>Coulomb's Law:</u>    

<em>"The electrostatic force F_{E} between two point charges q_{1} and q_{2} is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance d that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them".  </em>

<em />

Mathematically this law is written as:  

F_{E}=K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}} (1)

Where:  

F_{E}  is the electrostatic force  

K is the Coulomb's constant  

q_{1}=q_{2}=q are the electric charges , which in this case have the same positive charge

d is the separation distance between the charges

Rewritting we have:

F_{E}=K\frac{q^{2}}{d^{2}}    (2)

Now, if the first charge is doubled:

q_{1}=2q_

And the second is reduced to a half:

q_{2}=\frac{1}{2}q

We will have the following:

F_{E}=K\frac{(2q)(\frac{1}{2}q)}{d^{2}} (3)

F_{E}=K\frac{q^{2}}{d^{2}} (4)

As we can see equation (4) is equal to equation (2), this means the force of repulsion between both charges will remain the same

What is the magnitude of the acceleration vector which causes a particle to move from velocity −5i−2j m/s to −6i+ 7j m/s in 8 se
shusha [124]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=\dfrac{1}{8}(-i+9j)\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial velocity of a particle in vector form, u = (-5i - 2j) m/s

Final velocity of particle in vector form, v = (-6i + 7j) m/s

Time taken, t = 8 seconds

We need to find the magnitude of acceleration vector. The changing of velocity w.r.t time is called acceleration of a particle. It is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{(-6i+7j)\ m/s-(-5i-2j)\ m/s}{8\ s}    

a=\dfrac{(-i+9j)}{8\ s}\ m/s^2    

or

a=\dfrac{1}{8}(-i+9j)\ m/s^2

Hence, the value of acceleration vector is solved.

Mark and David are loading identical cement blocks onto David’s pickup truck. Mark lifts his block straight up from the ground t
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

b) true. The jobs are equal

Explanation:

The work on a body is the scalar product of the force applied by the distance traveled.

    W = F. d

Work is a scalar, the work equation can be developed

    W = F d cos θ

Where θ is the angle between force and displacement

Let's apply these conditions to the exercise

a) False, if we see the expression d cosT is the projection of the displacement in the direction of the force, so there may be several displacement, but its projection is always the same

b) true. The jobs are equal dx = d cosθ

c) False, because the force is equal and the projection of displacement is the same

d) False, knowledge of T is not necessary because the projection of displacement is always the same

e) False mass is not in the definition of work

Which kind of road surface is easier to see when driving at night, a pebbled uneven surface or a mirror smooth surface?
pshichka [43]
A pebbled, uneven road would be easier to see at night because it minimizes the reflection of light from car’s light coming in the opposite direction. It is difficult to see when driving on the rainy day because the roadway reflects light from cars coming in the opposite <span>directions.</span>
