Answer:
F' = (4/9)F
Explanation:
The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's Law:
F = kq₁q₂/r² -------------------- equation (1)
where,
F = Electrostatic Force
k = Coulomb's Constant
q₁ = magnitude of first charge
q₂ = magnitude of second charge
r = distance between charges
Now, when the charges and distance altered as follows:
q₁' = 2q₁
q₂' = 2q₂
r' = 3r
Then,
F' = kq₁'q₂'/r'²
F' = k(2q₁)(2q₂)/(3r)²
F' = (4/9)kq₁q₂/r²
using equation (1):
<u>F' = (4/9)F</u>
Answer: 36 meters.
Equation to find distance:
Speed x time
Half mass car because it's traveling faster
Answer:
Explanation:
If we assume there is a sharp boundary between the two masses of air, there will be a refraction. The refractive index of each medium will depend on the relative speeds of light.
n = c / v
If light travels faster in warmer air, it will have a lower refractive index
nh < nc
Snell's law of refraction relates angles of incidence and refracted with the indexes of refraction:
n1 * sin(θ1) = n2 * sin(θ2)
sin(θ2) = sin(θ1) * n1/n2
If blue light from the sky passing through the hot air will cross to the cold air, then
n1 = nh
n2 = nc
Then:
n1 < n2
So:
n1/n2 < 1
The refracted light will come into the cold air at angle θ2 wich will be smaller than θ1, so the light is bent upwards, creating the appearance of water in the distance, which is actually a mirror image of the sky.
