Force F acts between a pair of charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. For each of the statements, use the drop-down menu

lora16 [44]

The initial force between the two charges is given by:

$F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, d their separation. Let's analyze now the other situations:

1. F

In this case, q1 is halved, q2 is doubled, but the distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = \frac{q_1}{2}\\q_2' = 2 q_2\\d' = d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(\frac{q_1}{2})(2q_2)}{d^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=F$

So the force has not changed.

2. F/4

In this case, q1 and q2 are unchanged. The distance between the charges is doubled to 2d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = q_1\\q_2' = q_2\\d' = 2d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{q_1 q_2)}{(2d)^2}=\frac{1}{4} k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=\frac{F}{4}$

So the force has decreased by a factor 4.

3. 6F

In this case, q1 is doubled and q2 is tripled. The distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = 2 q_1\\q_2' = 3 q_2\\d' = d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(2 q_1)(3 q_2)}{d^2}=6 k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=6F$

So the force has increased by a factor 6.

How can a budget help you set spending goals?

OlgaM077 [116]

When you are setting up your budget, it is easier to start by setting your budgeting amounts based on the average of your last three months of spending. Many budgeting programs can import past transactions and help you come up with the estimates that you need for your budget. Then you can begin to make adjustments after you have those initial amounts.

The two main goals are to spend less than you earn and to know where your money is going. Once you have a working budget you can work towards your other goals of saving money and getting out of debt. It is important to avoid theses common budgeting mistakes when setting up your budget.

How would electron domains impact the magnetism of the substance?

Vanyuwa [196]

Magnetic domain structure is responsible for the magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, cobalt and their alloys, and ferrimagnetic materials like ferrite. ... Magnetic domains form in materials which have magnetic ordering; that is, their dipoles spontaneously align due to the exchange interaction.

A bike first accelerates from 0.0m/s to 4.5m/s in 4.5 s, the continues at this constant speed for another 6.0 s. What is the tot

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

37.125 m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

s=ut+0.5at^{2} where s is distance, u is initial velocity, t is time and a is acceleration

Distance during acceleration

Acceleration, a=\frac {V_{final}-V_{initial}}{t} where V_{final} is final velocity and V_{initial} is initial velocity.

Substituting 0.0 m/s for initial velocity and 4.5 m/s for final velocity, acceleration will be

a=\frac {4.5 m/s-0 m/s}{4.5 s}=1 m/s^{2}

Then substituting u for 0 m/s, t for 4.5 s and a for 1 m/s^{2} into the equation of motion

s=0*4.5+ 0.5*1*4.5^{2}=0+10.125 =10.125 m

Distance at a constant speed

At a constant speed, there's no acceleration and since speed=distance/time then distance is speed*time

Distance=4.5 m/s*6 s=27 m

Total distance

Total=27+10.125=37.125 m
