Answer:

The electrostatic force that will result if both charges are doubled and the distance remains the same is 6.0 * 10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

Coulomb's law of  electricity states that the magnitude of the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance of of separation between them.

In formula; F = KQ₁Q₂/d²

Using the formula for electrostatic force of attraction above to determine the force of between the two charged spheres

Let the charges be Q₁ and Q₂; distance of separation be d, K is a constant

Initially, F₁ = KQ₁Q₂/d² ---- (1)

F₁ = 3.0 * 10⁻⁶ N

when the charges are doubled, Q₁ = 2Q₁; Q₂ = 2Q₂; K and d remains constant

F₂ = 2KQ₁Q₂/d² ----(2)

Dividing equation (2) by (1) to find the ratio of their forces

F₂/F₁ = (2KQ₁Q₂/d²) / KQ₁Q₂/d²

F₂/F₁ = 2

Thus, F₂ is twice F₁.

Since F₁ = 3.0 * 10⁻⁶ N; F₂ = 2 * 3.0 * 10⁻⁶ N

F₂ = 6.0 * 10⁻⁶ N

Therefore, the electrostatic force that will result if both charges are doubled and the distance remains the same is 6.0 * 10⁻⁶ N

4. Which point on this position vs. time graph has the fastest speed?
galben [10]

Answer:

Since v = (x(2) - x(1)) / t

point 2 obviously has the greatest displacement in a given time

Also, point 2 is the steepest line on this graph.

you are about to work some magic with matter. you have a rectangular cube of matter in its solid state. it measures 3 in x 4 in
Elenna [48]

In solid and liquid the matter can occupy the 90 in³ and 157.1 in³ volume.

The matter in gaseous state can be expanded to occupy the volumes of the container.

<h3>Volume of each of the container</h3>

The volume of each of the container is calculated as follows;

<h3>Volume of the rectangular container</h3>

V = 5 in x 6 in x 3 in

V = 90 in³

<h3>Volume of the cylindrical container</h3>

V = πr²h

V = (π)(2.5 in)²(8 in)

V = 157.1 in³

<h3>Volume of the matter</h3>

Vm = 3 in x 4 in x 5 in

Vm = 60 in³

<h3>Matter in solid and liquid state</h3>

Matter has fixed volume in solid and liquid state.

In solid and liquid the matter can occupy the 90 in³ and 157.1 in³ volume.

<h3>Matter in gaseous state</h3>

Matter has no definite volume in gaseous state.

The matter in gaseous state can be expanded to occupy the volumes of the container.

HELP PLZ!!<br> can the kinetic energy of an object be negative? explain
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

No it can not

Explanation: Kinetic energy is the energy of motion so it can not be negative the kinetic energy can only be at a point of "0" which is when its not moving. (I hope this helped) :))
