The electrostatic force between two charges is inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.
So if you want to multiply the force by, say, ' Q ',
you need to multiply the distance by ( 1 / √Q ) .
We want to multiply the force by 16, so we need to
multiply the distance by ( 1 / √16 ) = ( 1 / 4 ) .
The distance should be changed to 1/4 of what it is now.
Use kinematic equations to solve:
1) yf = yo + vo*t + 1/2at²
yf = final height
yo = initial height
vo = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time
yf - yo = vo*t + 1/2at²
yf - yo = h
vo = 0
Thus,
h = 1/2at²
h = 1/2(9.8)(12)² = 705.6 m
2) vf = vo + at
vo = 0
Thus,
vf = at
vf = (9.8)(12) = 117.6 m/s
Explanation:
It is given that,
Initial speed of sprinter, u = 0
Final speed of sprinter, v = 10 m/s
Time taken, t = 1.28 s
a. We need to find the acceleration of sprinter. It can be calculated using first equation of motion as :
b. Final speed of the sprinter, v = 36 km/h
Time, t = 0.000355 h
Acceleration, 
Hence, this is the required solution.
The answer is A: can change
