Answer:

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.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

a) Resistivity=R.A/L

Here, R=500000ohm, L=1.6m, A=2pi* (0.14/2)*0.002 m2=0.00088.........we have converted quantities into SI units

Resistivity=R.A/L

=500000*0.00088/1.6 = 440/1.6= 275 ohm.meter

b) pskin/pinterior =275/4.8=57.3

For second part, correct option is (A), because cross section area is smaller.

A ball with a weight of 2 N is attached to the end of a cord of length 2m . The ball is whirl in a vertical circle counterclockw

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

we agree with

Edgar: The net force on the ball at the top position is 9 N. Both the tension and the weight are acting downward so you have to add them.

Explanation:

Weight of the ball is given as

$W = 2N$

so we have

$m = \frac{W}{g}$

$m = 0.204 kg$

now tension force at the top is given as

$T_{top} = 7 N$

$T_{bottom} = 15 N$

Now at the top position by force equation we can say that ball will have two downwards forces

1) Tension force

2) Weight of the ball

so net force on the ball is given as

$F_{net} = T + W$

$F_{net} = 7 + 2 = 9 N$

So we agree with

Edgar: The net force on the ball at the top position is 9 N. Both the tension and the weight are acting downward so you have to add them.
