Which changes will decrease the electric force between two positively charged objects? Check all that apply.
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Moving them farther apart

Explanation:

The electric field between the two charges Q and q separated by a distance r is given by

E = \frac{K\times Q\times q}{r^{2}}

It shows that the electric field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two charges.

So, as the distance between two charges increases, the electric filed between the two charges decreases.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

a) -5.40 rad/s

b) -2.842 rad/s²

Explanation:

The direction is important in dealing with such questions. Clockwise is considered negative and counterclockwise is considered positive

a) Δω = final angular velocity - initial angular velocity

          = -2.70 rad/s - 2.70 rad/s

          = -5.40 rad/s

b) ∝ = Δω/Δt = (-5.40 rad/s)/1.90s = -2.842 rad/s²
