Answer:
f = 2 Hz
Explanation:
The frequency of a wave is defined as the no. of waves passing per unit of time. Therefore, the frequency of a wave can be calculated by the following formula:

where,
f = frequency of the wave = ?
t = time passed = 1 s
n = no. of waves passing in time t = 2
Therefore,

<u>f = 2 Hz</u>
Answer: Force F will be one-sixteenth of the new force when the charges are doubled and distance halved
Explanation:
Let the charges be q1 and q2 and the distance between the charges be 'd'
Mathematical representation of coulombs law will be;
F1=kq1q2/d²...(1)
Where k is the electrostatic constant.
If q1 and q2 is doubled and the distance halved, we will have;
F2 = k(2q1)(2q2)/(d/2)²
F2 = 4kq1q2/(d²/4)
F2 = 16kq1q2/d²...(2)
Dividing equation 1 by 2
F1/F2 = kq1q2/d² ÷ 16kq1q2/d²
F1/F2 = kq1q2/d² × d²/16kq1q2
F1/F2 = 1/16
F1 = 1/16F2
This shows that the force F will be one-sixteenth of the new force when the charges are doubled and distance halved
The normal force acts to counter the gravitational force, that is the upward direction.
