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 particle moves along the curve below. y = sqrt(1 + x^3) As it reaches the point (2, 3), the y-coordinate is increasing at a ra

blagie [28]

Answer:7 cm/s

Explanation:

Given

Particle move along curve

$y=\sqrt{1+x^3}$

As it reaches the (2,3) its y coordinate is increasing at 14 cm/s

Differentiating y w.r.t time

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3x^2}{2\sqrt{1+x^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Now at (2,3)

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3\cdot 2^2}{2\sqrt{1+2^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$14=\frac{3\times 4}{2\times \sqrt{9}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=7 cm/s$

580 nm light shines on a double slit

Helga [31]

Answer:

0.532

Explanation:

Your equation to find the second bright interference maximum is gonna be this: d sin (Θ) = m λ

First, find your variables.

λ = 580 · 10^-9

d = 0.000125

m = 2

Next, fill in the equation.

d sin (θ) = m λ

(0.000125) sin (θ) = (2) (580·10^-9)

Then isolate your variable.

θ = arcsin ( (2)(580·10^-9) / (0.000125) )

Run your equation and you will end up with 0.53171246 , which rounds to 0.532.

The main thing you have to watch out for is make sure you are calculating for the bright interference and not the dark interference, as well as checking you're calculating for the maximum, not the minimum.

I hope this helps :D

A force generated by an underwater earthquake applied to oceans waves over a period of time changes the wave's momentum, this is

stich3 [128]

Answer:

A force generated by an underwater earthquake applied to the waves of the ocean during a period changes the momentum of the wave, this is referred to as tsunami.

Explanation:

Most of the tsunamis are caused due to earthquakes and are the most destructive. When an earthquake of magnitude more than 7.5 in the Richter scale hits the ocean, there is a huge stir on the river and the balance of the water above it deteriorates. Waves are produced when water tries to get back its equilibrium.

This wave is formed due to the rise in water at the epicenter of the crisis and moves around the epicenter in the form of concentric circles. Remember that not all the earthquakes cause tsunamis, but in the same situation when the earthquake causes a movement in the seawater in the vertical direction. This movement arises on the ocean floor due to earthquakes, fractures or the sliding of plates.
