Answer:

force becomes one - ninth

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law in electrostatics, two charges can exert a force of attraction or repulsion on each other which is directly proportional to the product of two charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Here both the charges remains same but the distance is variable.

So, we can say that

F \alpha \frac{1}{d^{2}}    .... (1)

Where d be the distance between the tow charges

As the distance between two charges increases by factor of three, let the new force be F'.

F' \alpha \frac{1}{9d^{2}}   .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

\frac{F'}{F}=\frac{d^{2}}{9d^{2}}

F'=\frac{F}{9}

Thus, the force becomes one - ninth times the initial force.

A golf ball is hit off a tee at the edge of a cliff. Its x and y coordinates as functions of time are given by x = 18.0t and y =
In-s [12.5K]
Position:                 x = 18t    y = 4t - 4.9t²

First derivative:        x' = 18      y' = 4 - 9.8t

Second derivative:    x'' = 0        y'' = - 9.8


Position vector:      P  =  (18t) i  +  (4t - 4.9t²) j

Velocity vector:      V  =  (18) i  +  (4 - 9.8t) j

Acceleration vector  A  =              (- 9.8) j

When a 2.40-kg object is hung vertically on a certain light spring described by Hooke's law, the spring stretches 2.92 cm.(a) Wh
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

805.48N/m

Explanation:

According to Hookes law

F = Ke

F is the force = mg

F = 2.4×9.8 = 23.52N

e is the extension = 2.92cm = 0.0292m

Force constant K = F/e

K = 23.52/0.0292

K = 805.48N/m

Hence the force constant of the spring is 805.48N/m
