Two charges, Q1 and Q2, are separated by 6·cm. The repulsive force between them is 25·N. In each case below, find the force betw
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

a) 5 N b) 225 N c) 5 N

Explanation:

a) Per Coulomb's Law the repulsive force between 2 equal sign charges, is directly proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of  the distance between them, acting along  the  line that joins the charges, as follows:

F₁₂ = K Q₁ Q₂ / r₁₂²

So, if we make Q1 = Q1/5, the net effect will be to reduce the force in the same factor, i.e. F₁₂ = 25 N / 5 = 5 N

b) If we reduce the distance, from r, to r/3, as the  factor is squared, the net effect will be to increase the force in a factor equal to 3² = 9.

So, we will have F₁₂ = 9. 25 N = 225 N

c) If we make Q2 = 5Q2, the force would be increased 5 times, but if at the same , we increase the distance 5 times, as the factor is squared, the net factor will be 5/25 = 1/5, so we will have:

F₁₂ = 25 N .1/5 = 5 N

Two identical loudspeakers, speaker 1 and speaker 2, are 2.0 m apart and are emitting 1700-hz sound waves into a room where the
Debora [2.8K]


Given the following in the problem:

Distances : 2.0 m and 4.0 m
Sound waves : 1700 hz
Speed of sound : 340 m/s

Get the wavelength of the sound by using the formula: 
Lambda = speed of sound/sound waves
Lambda = 340 m/s / 1700 hz
Lambda = 0.2 
Get the path length difference to the point from the two speakers 
L1 = 4mL2 = sqrt (42+ 22) m
Delta = 4.47

x = delta / lambda

If the outcome is nearly an integer, the waves strengthen at the point. If it is nearly an integer +0.5 the waves interfere destructively at the point. If it is neither the point is somewhat in in the middle.

Solving x = (4.47 – 4) / (0.2) = 2.35 an integer +0.5 so it’s a point of destructive interference.

What is the least force you could exert on the refrigerator to move it?
Ulleksa [173]
 <span>If the refrigerator weights 1365 and you are not exerting any vertical force on it, then the normal force is also 1365N. so Fn=1365 

Fsf = Static frictional force = (coefficient of static friction) * (Normal force) 

So the least for you could exert to move it is equal to the Fsf. 
Fsf = (0.49)(1365N)</span><span>

An ambulance is traveling east at 61.9 m/s. Behind it there is a car traveling along the same direction at 28.5 m/s. The ambulan
inessss [21]

Answer: 0.4 m

Explanation:

Given

Speed of ambulance, vs = 61.9 m/s

Speed of car = 28.5 m/s

Frequency of ambulance siren, f = 694 Hz

Velocity of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

With speed of ambulance being (61.9 m/s) -> We solve using

fd = f(v + vr) / (v - vs), where vr = 0

fd = 694 * (343 + 0) / (343 - 61.9)

fd = 694 * (343 / 281.1)

fd = 694 * 1.22

fd = 847 Hz

Recall,

λ = v/f

λ = 343/847

λ = 0.4 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the sound of the ambulance’s siren if you are standing at the position of the car is 0.4 m
