Answer:

The new force is 1/4 of the previous force.

Explanation:

Given

Initial\ Distance = 2cm ---- r_1

New\ Distance = 4cm --- r_2

Required

Determine the new force

Let the two particles be q1 and q2.

The initial force F1 is:

F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2} --- Coulomb's law

Substitute 2 for r1

F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{2^2}

F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4}

The new force (F2) is

F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_2^2}

Substitute 4 for r2

F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4^2}

F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4*4}

F_2 = \frac{1}{4}*\frac{kq_1q_2}{4}

Substitute F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4}

F_2 = \frac{1}{4}*F_1

F_2 = \frac{F_1}{4}

The new force is 1/4 of the previous force.

A small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pendulum. The
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) see attached, a = g sin θ

b)

c)   v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

Explanation:

In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by

          Wₓ = m a

          W sin θ = m a

          a = g sin θ

b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less

                θ' = 9/2  θ

             

c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.

The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy

Highest point

            Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)

Lowest point

          Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2

              v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))
