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.

Explain why the ion formed has a positive charge
AleksAgata [21]
When an ion is formed, the number of protons does not change. ... By removing an electron from this atom we get a positively charged Na+ ionthat has a net charge of +1. Atoms that gain extra electrons become negatively charged. A neutral chlorine atom, for example, contains 17 protons and 17 electrons.

Which type of motion does a wooden block NOT have when sliding down a hill? Question 1 options: A. Vibrational B. Rotational C.
nlexa [21]

Answer - the correct option is option B rotational

Explanation-  

A block that is sliding Downloads on inclination can have vibrational movement due to certain ups and downs or inequalities on on the surface. It will have frictional force due to the aberrations present in the surfaces of both block and Road and it will have transitional motion acting as the block's position is changing from one point to another the only motion.

It doesn't have is rotational because rotational  movements happen with circular objects only.
