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.

Suppose you are pushing a 3 kg box with a force of 25 N (directed parallel to the ground) over a distance of 15 m. Afterward, th
alex41 [277]

Answer: 321 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the box m=3\ kg

Force applied is F=25\ N

Displacement of the box is s=15\ m

Velocity acquired by the box is v=6\ m/s

acceleration associated with it is a=\dfrac{F}{m}

\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{25}{3}\ m/s^2

Work done by force is W=F\cdot s

W=25\times 15\\W=375\ J

change in kinetic energy is \Delta K

\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-0)\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\times 6^2\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\times 36\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=54\ J

According to work-energy theorem, work done by all the forces is equal to the change in the kinetic energy

\Rightarrow W+W_f=\Delta K\quad [W_f=\text{Work done by friction}]\\\\\Rightarrow 375+W_f=54\\\Rightarrow W_f=-321\ J

Therefore, the magnitude of work done by friction is 321\ J

The temperature of a 700.96 gram piece of metal falls 120⁰C and in the process releases 2001 Joules of energy. What is the speci
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The specific heat for the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

Explanation:

Given,

Q = 1120 Joules

mass = 12 grams

T₁ = 100°C

T₂ = 300°C

The specific heat for the metal can be calculated by using the formula

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 300°C  - 100°C   = 200°C

Substituting values,

1120 = (12)(200)(Cp)

Cp = 0.466 J/g°C.

Therefore, specific heat of the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.
