Two point charges, initially 2.0 cm apart, experience a 1.0 N force. If they are moved to a new separation of 0.25 cm, what is t

Explanation:

Th electric force between charges is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them. It means,

F\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}

Initial distance, r₁ = 2 cm

Final distance, r₂ = 0.25 cm

Initial force, F₁ = 1 N    

We need to find the electric force between charges if the new separation of 0.25 cm. So,

\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=(\dfrac{r_2}{r_1})^2\\\\F_2=\dfrac{F_1r_1^2}{r_2^2}\\\\F_2=\dfrac{1\times 2^2}{(0.25)^2}\\\\F_2=64\ N

So, the new force is 64 N if the separation between charges is 64 N.

Explain the relationship between mass and gravity
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.

g The speed of light in a vacuum is larger for short wavelength electromagnetic waves. larger for high frequency electromagnetic
Orlov [11]

Answer:

A constant value everywhere in the universe.

Explanation:

The speed of light in a vacuum is a constant value. It is not affected by change in frequency or wavelength of the light.

Mathematically the speed of light is given as:

c = λf

where λ = wavelength and f - frequency

The speed of light is the constant of proportionality between frequency and wavelength. In order words, wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. As the wavelength increases, frequency decreases and vice versa.

While the change in wavelength and frequency of light affect the energy of the light, its speed is a constant value as long as the medium is a vacuum.

The speed of light is also not dependent on the manner with which the light wave is moving.

A blacksmith heats a 1.5 kg iron horseshoe to 500 C, containing 20 kg of water at 18 C then plunges it into a bucket What is the
Tema [17]

Answer:

21.85 C

Explanation:

mass of iron = 1.5 kg, initial temperature of iron, T1 = 500 C

mass of water = 20 kg, initial temperature of water, T2 = 18 C

let T be the equilibrium temperature.

Specific heat of iron = 449 J/kg C

specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg C

Use the principle of caloriemetry

heat lost by the hot body = heat gained by the cold body

mass of iron x specific heat of iron x decrease in temperature = mass of water  x specific heat of water x increase in temperature

1.5 x 449 x (500 - T) = 20 x 4186 x (T - 18)

336750 - 673.5 T = 83720 T - 1506960

1843710 = 84393.5 T

T = 21.85 C
