Answer:

<h3>1/16</h3>

Explanation:

According to the coulombs law, the force existing vetween the ions is expressed as;

F = kQq/r² .... 1

Q and q are the ions

r is the distance between the ions

If the distance between the ion is quadrupled, then;

F2 =  kQq/(4r)²

F2 =  kQq/16r² ... 2

Divide equation 2 by 1;

F2/F = kQq/16r² ÷ kQq/r²

F2/F = kQq/16r² × r²/kQq

F2/F = 1/16

F2 = 1/16 F

Therefore the coulombic force between two ions is reduced to<u> 1/16 </u>of its original strength when the distance between them is quadrupled.

The equation for the speed of an electromagnetic wave is
igomit [66]

Answer:

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

Explanation:

The speed of the electromagnetic wave in free space is given in terms of the permeability and the permittivity of free space by

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

where the permeability of free space (μ₀) is a physical constant used often in electromagnetism and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (a physical constant).

a team of dogs is pulling a sled with a net force of 2000 N. The sled is accelerating a 2.2 m/s^2. What is the mass of the sled?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Force, F = ma

Where m = mass in kg, a = acceleration in m/s²,  Force, F is in N.

F = ma

2000 = m*2.2

2.2m = 2000

m = 2000/2.2

m ≈ 909.09

Mass is ≈ 909.09 kg.
