Answer:

The correct option is;

- 4x

Explanation:

From the inverse square law, as the distance from the source of a physical quantity increases, the intensity of the source is spread over an area proportional to the square of the distance of the object from the source

The inverse square law can be presented as follows;

I = \dfrac{S}{4\times \pi \times  r^2 }

As the distance, r, increases, the surface it covers also increases by the power of 2

Therefore, where the distance increases from r to 2·r, we have;

When, I, remain constant

I = \dfrac{4\times S}{4\times \pi \times  (2\cdot r)^2 } = I = \dfrac{4\times S}{4\times 4\times \pi \times  r^2 } =  \dfrac{S}{4\times \pi \times  r^2 }

The surface increases to 4·S by the inverse square law

Therefore, the correct option is 4 × x.

A charged object is suspended motionless in the air by the gravitational force pulling it down and an electric force pushing it
Savatey [412]

The charge of the object must be 1.11 \times e^{-5} \text { coulomb }

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Suppose an electric charge can be represented by the symbol Q. This electric charge generates an electric field; Because Q is the source of the electric field, we call this as source charge. The electric field strength of the source charge can be measured with any other charge anywhere in the area. The test charges used to test the field strength.

Its quantity indicated by the symbol q. In the electric field, q exerts an electric, either attractive or repulsive force. As usual, this force is indicated by the symbol F. The electric field’s magnitude is simply defined as the force per charge (q) on Q.

         Electric field, E=\frac{\text { Force }(F)}{q}

Here, given E = 4500 N/C and F = 0.05 N.

We need to find charge of the object (q)

By substituting the given values, we get

      q=\frac{F}{E}=\frac{0.05 N}{4500 \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{c}}=1.11 \times e^{-5} \text { coulomb }

The direction of the electric field would be south. 

qE/m = 115 
<span>       E = 115*m/q </span>
<span>           = 115 * 9.1 * 10^(-31) / 1.67*10^(-19) </span>
<span>           = 762.87 * 10^(-12) </span>

Vlad [161]
It is important to look at all the information's that are given in the question very closely. Let us write them write first.

Radius of the spa = <span>5/√2-1 feet
Now
Perimeter of the circle = </span><span>2πr
                                    = 2</span>π (5/√2-1) 
                                    = <span>π(5/(√2-1)*(√2+1)/(√2+1) </span>
<span>                                    = 2π(5/(√2+1))/(2-1) </span>
<span>                                    = 10π(√2+1)  

I hope that the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.</span>
