Answer:

F/2

Explanation:

In the first case, the two charges are Q1 and Q2 and the distance between them is r. K is the Coulomb's constant

Hence;

F= KQ1Q2/r^2 ------(1)

Where the charge on Q1 is doubled and the distance separating the charges is also doubled;

F= K2Q1 Q2/(2r)^2

F2= 2KQ1Q2/4r^2 ----(2)

F2= F/2

Comparing (1) and (2)

The magnitude of force acting on each of the two particles is;

F= F/2

A spring with a spring constant of 50 N/m is stretched 15cm. What is the force and energy associated with this stretching?

Olenka [21]

Data:
F (force) = ? (Newton)
k (<span>Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (</span>Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
$F = k*x$

Solving:
$F = k*x$
$F = 50*0.15$
$\boxed{\boxed{F = 7.5\:N}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Data:
E (energy) = ? (joule)
k (Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
$E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}$

Solving:(Energy associated with this stretching)
$E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}$
$E = \frac{50*0.15^2}{2}$
$E = \frac{50*0.0225}{2}$
$E = \frac{1.125}{2}$
$\boxed{\boxed{E = 0.5625\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

A force F with arrow applied to an object of mass m1 produces an acceleration of 3.10 m/s2. The same force applied to a second o

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

(a) The value of the ratio m₁/m₂ is 0.581

(b) the acceleration of the combined masses is 1.139 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

The acceleration of force applied to M₁, a₁ = 3.10 m/s²

The same force applied to M₂ has acceleration, a₂ = 1.80 m/s²

Let this force = F

According Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

(a) the value of the ratio m₁/m₂

since the applied force is same in both cases, M₁a₁ = M₂a₂

$\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{a_2}{a_1} \\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{1.8}{3.1} \\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2} = 0.581$

(b) the acceleration of m₁ and m₂ combined as one object under the action force F

F = ma

$a = \frac{F}{M} \\\\a = \frac{F}{m_1 + m_2} \\\\a = \frac{F}{0.581m_2 + m_2}\\\\a = \frac{F}{1.581m_2}$

$But, m_2 = \frac{F}{a_2} \\\\a = \frac{F}{1.581m_2} = \frac{F*a_2}{1.581F} \\\\a = \frac{a_2}{1.581} \\\\a = \frac{1.8}{1.581} = 1.139 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the combined masses is 1.139 m/s²

If you dive underwater, you notice an uncomfortable pressure on your eardrums due to the increased pressure. The human eardrum h

irinina [24]

Answer:

$h=10m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Area $a=70 x 10^{-6}$

Force $F=7N$

Generally the equation for Pressure is mathematically given by

Pressure = Force/Area

$P=\frac{F}{A}$

$P=\frac{ 7}{(70 * 10^{-6})}$

$P= 1*10^{5} Pa$

Generally the equation for Pressure is also mathematically given by

$P=hpg$

Therefore

$h=\frac{P}{hg}$

$h=\frac{10000}{1000*9.8}$

$h=10m$
