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

How do the positions of the sun and moon affect what people do?
Verdich [7]

-- The position of the sun was originally the primary influence in determining
when people went to sleep and when they woke up.  Although it no longer
directly influences us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in our make-up
that our behavior still largely coincides with the positions of the sun.

-- The position of the Moon was originally the primary influence in determining
the cycle of human female physiology.  Although it no longer directly influences
us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in human make-up that the female cycle
still largely coincides with the positions of the Moon.
