Answer: The correct answer is C.

2/10 is simplified to 1/5, that is the factor that changes.

Answer:

1/25

Explanation:

Coulombs law states that the force of attraction between two charges q and Q is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance r between them.

It is expressed as;.

F = kqQ/r²

If two point charges, initially 2 cm apart, the force between them will be;

F = kqQ/2²

F = kqQ/4 ... (1)

If the charges are now moved to a distance of 10cm apart, the force between them will then become;

F2 = kqQ/10²

F2 = kqQ/100.. (2)

Dividing equation 2 by 1;

F2/F = (kqQ/4)/kqQ/10)

F2/F = kqQ/100 × 4/kqQ

F2/F = 1/25

F2 = (1/25)F

The resulting electric force

between the changes by 1/25 since that serves as the constant of proportionality between the two forces

A charge of 7.2 × 10-5 C is placed in an electric field with a strength of 4.8 × 105 StartFraction N over C EndFraction. If the
barxatty [35]

Answer:

2.2 meters

Explanation:

Potential energy, PE created by a charge, q at a radius r from the charge source, Q,  is expressed as:

KE=\frac{kQq}{r}\     \ \ \ \ \ \ ...i

k is Coulomb's constant.

#The electric field,E at radius r is expressed as:

E=\frac{kQ}{r^2}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...ii

From i and ii, we have:

KE=Eqr

r=(KE)/Eq

#Substitute actual values in our equation:

r=\frac{75J}{(7.2\times 10^{-5}C)(4.8\times 10^5 V/m)}\\\\=2.1701\approx2.2\ m

Hence, the distance between the charge and the source of the electric field is 2.2 meters

A balloon full of air has more _____ than the same balloon with no air in it. A. mass (only) B. inertia (only) C. weight (only)
valina [46]

Answer:

A. Mass(only)

Explanation:

The correct answer is A because if the balloon is filled with air, it's filled with matter. Matter is anything that has space and occupies mass. The air occupies mass in the balloon but that doesn't mean that the balloon is heavier. People confuse themselves with mass and weight saying it means the same thing. Mass, like I said is the amount of matter an object contains whereas weight is how much an object weighs.

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why? Because it uses Pascal's idea and  principle: F=p*S. If we apply small force to small piston you will generate a pressure. According to Pascal's law pressure is the same everywhere in closed system so the same pressure will act on large piston on the other side too.
