Answer:
E'=(3/16)E
Explanation:
The electric field generated by a Van de Graff generator can be taken as the electric field generated by a hollow shell (for distance out of the shell):
Q: electric charge
K: Coulomb's constant
R: distance in which E is measured.
If the distance is increased to R'=2R, and the charge to Q'=(4/3)Q the new electric field is:
hence, the new electric field E' is 3/16 times the previous electric field E
Answer:
The magnitude of F1 is
The magnitude of F2 is
And the direction of F2 is
Explanation:
<u>Net Force
</u>
Forces are represented as vectors since they have magnitude and direction. The diagram of forces is shown in the figure below.
The larger pull F1 is directed 21° west of north and is represented with the blue arrow. The other pull F2 is directed to an unspecified direction (red arrow). Since the resultant Ft (black arrow) is pointed North, the second force must be in the first quadrant. We must find out the magnitude and angle of this force.
Following the diagram, the sum of the vector components in the x-axis of F1 and F2 must be zero:
The sum of the vertical components of F1 and F2 must equal the total force Ft
Solving for 
in the first equation
The magnitude of F1 is
The magnitude of F2 is
And the direction of F2 is
The buoyant force on any object acts in the direction opposite to the force of gravity. <em>(A)</em>
I was about to say: because people generally get comfortable with
what they think they know, and don't like the discomfort of being told
that they have to change something they're comfortable with.
But then I thought about it a little bit more, and I have a different answer.
"Society" might initially reject a new scientific theory, because 'society'
is totally unequipped to render judgement of any kind regarding any
development in Science.
First of all, 'Society' is a thing that's made of a bunch of people, so it's
inherently unequipped to deal with scientific news. Anything that 'Society'
decides has a lot of the mob psychology in it, and a public opinion poll or
a popularity contest are terrible ways to evaluate a scientific discovery.
Second, let's face it. The main ingredient that comprises 'Society' ... people ...
are generally uneducated, unknowledgeable, unqualified, and clueless in the
substance, the history, and the methods of scientific inquiry and reporting.
There may be very good reasons that some particular a new scientific theory
should be rejected, or at least seriously questioned. But believe me, 'Society'
doesn't have them.
That's pretty much why.
Answer:
437 Joules
Explanation:
Use the formula for work directly
(work) = (force) x (displacement)
to get
(work) = (19 N) x (23 m) = 437 Joules
