Answer:

d) 1/4 F

Explanation:

The magnitude of electrostatic force between stationary charges is described by Coulomb's law. This law states that this force is proportional to the magnitudes of the charges:

F\propto q_1q_2

When each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge, we have:

q_1'=\frac{q_1}{2}\\q_2'=\frac{q_2}{2}

So, the new electrostatic force is:

F'\propto q_1'q_2'\\F'\propto \frac{q_1}{2}\frac{q_2}{2}\\F'\propto \frac{q_1q_2}{4}\\F'\propto\frac{1}{4}F

Two vectors A and B are at right angles to each other. The magnitude of A is 3.00. What should be the length of B, so that the m
AfilCa [17]

Answer: length of B =4.00

Explanation:

for  the vectors A and B and the angle between them as  x.

Magnitude of the sum of A and B is  given as = √(A²+B²+2ABcosx

where

Magnitude of A  = 3.00

Magnitude of the sum of A and B is  5.00

5.00=√(A²+B²+2ABcos90°

5.00= √3² +b² +0

5²= 3² +b²

25=9+b²

b²= 25-9

b² = 16

b=  √16

b= 4

A boat heads due North for 3.00 km to reach a red buoy. It then changes direction and heads in a direction of 30.0 degrees South
Helga [31]

Position of B :  

x = 4.66*cos 30 = 4.036  

y = 3-4.66*sin 30 = 3-2.33 = 0.67  

BC = √y^2+(x-1)^2 = √0.67^2+3.036^2 = 3.109  

heading = arctan y/(x-1) = arctan 0.67/(3.036) = 12.44° south of west

hope this helps :)
