Answer:
(a) The force between them quadruples
Explanation:
According to coulomb's law, initial force between the two charged objects is given as;
where;
k is coulomb's constant
q₁ is the charge on the first object
q₂ is the charge on the second object
r is the distance between the two objects
When the charges on both objects are doubled, then;
q₁ = 2q₁
q₂ = 2q₂
Force between the two charged objects will become
Therefore, the force between them quadruples
As per the question the mass of the boy is 50 kg.
The boy sits on a chair.
We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.
The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.
At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2
Hence the weight of the boy [m is the mass of the body]
we have m = 50 kg.
Hence w = 50 kg ×9.8 m/s^2
=490 N kg m/s^2
= 490 N
Here newton [N] is the unit of force.
