Answer:

False

Explanation:

ac = v^2/r

acceleration is not dependent on the mass of the orbiting object.

A charge is divided q1 and (q-q1)what will be the ratio of q/q1 so that force between the two parts placed at a given distance i
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

q / q_{1} = 2, assuming that q_{1} and (q - q_{1}) are point charges.

Explanation:

Let k denote the coulomb constant. Let r denote the distance between the two point charges. In this question, neither k and r depend on the value of q_{1}.

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force between q_{1} and (q - q_{1}) would be:

\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k\, q_{1}\, (q - q_{1})}{r^{2}} \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\end{aligned}.

Find the first and second derivative of F with respect to q_{1}. (Note that 0 < q_{1} < q.)

First derivative:

\begin{aligned}\frac{d}{d q_{1}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\right] \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, \left[\frac{d}{d q_{1}} [q\, q_{1}] - \frac{d}{d q_{1}}[{q_{1}}^{2}]\right]\\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\end{aligned}.

Second derivative:

\begin{aligned}\frac{d^{2}}{{d q_{1}}^{2}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\right] \\ &= \frac{(-2)\, k}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}.

The value of the coulomb constant k is greater than 0. Thus, the value of the second derivative of F with respect to q_{1} would be negative for all real r. F\! would be convex over all q_{1}.

By the convexity of \! F with respect to \! q_{1} \!, there would be a unique q_{1} that globally maximizes F. The first derivative of F\! with respect to q_{1}\! should be 0 for that particular \! q_{1}. In other words:

\displaystyle \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1}) = 0<em>.</em>

2\, q_{1} = q.

q_{1} = q / 2.

In other words, the force between the two point charges would be maximized when the charge is evenly split:

\begin{aligned} \frac{q}{q_{1}} &= \frac{q}{q / 2} = 2\end{aligned}.

What is the direction of friction if a ball is rolling on the ground?
morpeh [17]
The direction is the same as the direction the ball is moving in. Because of the rolling of the ball, the direction of movement of the surface of the ball is opposite the overall direction of the ball. Since friction will oppose the direction of movement of the surface of the ball, it is in the same direction as the net direction of movement of the ball.
