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 50kg meteorite moving at 1000 m/s strikes Earth. Assume the velocity is along the line joining Earth's center of mass and the
zysi [14]

As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg

                       The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s

When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.

We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.

The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -

                                       Kinetic\ energy\ [K.E]\ =\frac{1}{2} mv^2

                                                             =\frac{1}{2}50kg*[1000\ m/s]^2

                                                               =\frac{1}{2}50* 10^{6}\ J

                                                               =25*10^6\ J    

Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.

Hence,\ the\ kinetic\ energy\ gained\ by\ earth\ is\ 25*10^6\ J

Background information about reflection and refraction of light
KIM [24]

Answer:

reflection :

  • angle of reflection and angle of incidence is equal
  • Incident ray and reflect d ray plus normal lies on the same plan on a same point
  • light reflect uniformly if it is incident on a plan surface

refraction :

  • light will refrect if light goes from rare medium to a dense medium or vice versa
  • after the light is refracted, it retunes to its original direction
  • angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of refraction
