Answer:

kinetic energy will change by a factor of 1/2

Option C) 1/2 is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

Kinetic energy = 1/2.mv²

given that mass of the object is doubled; m1 = 2m

speed is halved; v1 = V/2

Now, New kinetic energy will be; 1/2.m1v1²

we substitute

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × 2m × (v/2)²

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × 2m × (v²/4)

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × m × (v²/2)

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 [ 1/2mv² ]

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 [ KE ]

Therefore; kinetic energy will change by a factor of 1/2

Option C) 1/2 is the correct answer

Two particles are fixed to an x axis: particle 1 of charge q1 = 2.78 × 10-8 c at x = 15.0 cm and particle 2 of charge q2 = -3.24
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Refer to the attached figure. Xp may not be between the particles but the reasoning is the same nonetheless.
At xp the electric field is the sum of both electric fields, remember that at a coordinate x for a particle placed at x' we have the electric field of a point charge (all of this on the x-axis of course):
E=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{q}{(x-x')^2}
Now At xp we have:
\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{(x_p-x_1)^2}-\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{3.29q_1}{(x_p-x_2)^2}=0
\implies (x_p-x_1)^2=\frac{(x_p-x_2)^2}{3.29}\\
\implies(1-\frac{1}{3.29})x_p^2+2(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)x_p+x_1^2-\frac{x_2^2}{3.29}=0
Which is a second order equation, using the quadratic formula to solve for xp would give us:
xp=\frac{-(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)-\sqrt{(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)^2-(1-\frac{1}{3.29})(x_1^2-\frac{x_2^2}{3.29})}}{(1-\frac{1}{3.29})}
or
xp=\frac{-(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)+\sqrt{(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)^2-(1-\frac{1}{3.29})(x_1^2-\frac{x_2^2}{3.29})}}{(1-\frac{1}{3.29})}
Plug the relevant values to get both answers.
Now, let's comment on which of those answers is the right answer. It happens that BOTH are correct. This is simply explained by considring the following.

Let's place a possitive test charge on the system This charge feels a repulsive force due to q1 but an attractive force due to q2, if we place the charge somewhere to the left of q2 the attractive force of q2 will cancel the repulsive force of q1, this translates to a zero electric field at this x coordinate. The same could happen if we place the test charge at some point to the right of q1, hence we can have two possible locations in which the electric field is zero. The second image shows two possible locations for xp.

What is the weight of an object when the object has a mass of 22kg
Savatey [412]
Assuming the object is on earth the objects weight would be equal to its mass multiplied by the gravitational field constant

mass=22kg
g=9.80665N/kg

weight=(22 kg) (9.80665 N/kg)=215.7463N

generally g is rounded to be 10 N/kg so for any question where it asks the weight given the mass just multiply by 10 and that should suffice. In this case the answer would be 220 N
