Answer:

B) \frac{2}{3}

Explanation:

The electric force between charges can be determined by;

F = \frac{kq_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2} }

Where: F is the force, k is the Coulomb's constant, q_{1} is the value of the first charge, q_{2} is the value of the second charge, r is the distance between the centers of the charges.

Let the original charge be represented by q, so that;

q_{1} = 2q

q_{2} = \frac{q}{3}

So that,

F = q_{1}q_{2} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = 2q x \frac{q}{3} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = \frac{2q^{2} }{3} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = \frac{2}{3} x \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

F = \frac{2}{3} x \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

The electric force between the given charges would change by \frac{2}{3}.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Energy of Photon = 4.091 MeV

Explanation:

From the conservation of energy principle, we know that total energy of the system must remain conserved. So, the energy or particles before collision must be equal to the energy of photons after collision.

K.E OF electron + Rest Energy of electron + K.E of positron + Rest Energy of positron = 2(Energy of Photon)

where,

K.E OF electron = 3.58 MeV

Rest Energy of electron = 0.511 MeV

Rest Energy of positron = 0.511 MeV

K.E OF positron = 3.58 MeV

Energy of Photon = ?

Therefore,

3.58 MeV + 0.511 MeV + 3.58 MeV + 0.511 MeV = 2(Energy of Photon)

Energy of Photon = 8.182 MeV/2

<u>Energy of Photon = 4.091 MeV</u>

A train has a length of 81.1 m and starts from rest with a constant acceleration at time t = 0 s. At this instant, a car just re
arlik [135]

Answer: a) vcar= 7 m/s ; b) a train= 0.65 m/s^2

Explanation: By using the kinematic equation for the car and the train we can determine the above values of the car velocity and the acceletarion of the train, respectively.

We have for the car

distance = v car* t, considering the length of train (81.1 m) travel by the car during the first 11.6 s

the v car =  distance/time= 81.1 m/11.6s= 7 m/s

In order to calculate the acceleration we have to use the kinematic equation for the train from the rest

distance train = (a* t^2)/2

distance train : distance travel by the car at constant speed

so distance train= (vcar*36.35)m=421 m

the a traiin= (2* 421 m)/(36s)^2=0.65 m/s^2
