When you double the distance between a pair of charged particles what happens to the force between them?

Physics

Answer:

Force between the two charges becomes one fourth of the initial force.

Explanation:

The electrostatic force acting between any two charges is given as,

F = k\frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

Here,

F = force

k = Coulomb's constant

q_{1} = magnitude of charge of the first particle

q_{2} = magnitude of charge of the second particle

r = separation between the two charges

From the above relation,

F \propto \frac{1}{r^{2}}

Thus,

\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} = \left ( \frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}} \right )^{2}

\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} = \left ( \frac{2r}{r} \right )^{2}

\Rightarrow \ F_{2} = \frac{1}{4}F_{4}.

A hockey puck is sliding across a frozen pond with an initial speed of 9.3 m/s. It comes to rest after sliding a distance of 42.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed, u = 9.3 m/s

sliding distance, S = 42 m

From equation of motion we determine the acceleration;

v² = u² + 2as

0 = (9.3)² + (2x42)a

- 84a = 86.49

a = -86.49/84

|a| = 1.0296

F_k = \mu_k N = ma

where;

Fk is the frictional force

μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction

N is the normal reaction = mg

μkmg = ma

μkg = a

μk = a/g

where;

g is the gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s²

μk = a/g

μk = 1.0296/9.8

μk = 0.11

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11

Explain why a plant may look green in sunlight but under red lighting
umka2103 [35]

plants look green in sunlight because, all other colors except green are absorbed by the plants and only green color is reflected back, hence plants look green in sunlight.

Suppose a gliding 2-kg cart bumps into, and sticks to, a stationary 5-kg cart. If the speed of the gliding cart before the colli
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Therefore,

Final velocity of the coupled carts after the collision is

v_{f}=4\ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of  Glidding Cart = m₁ = 2 kg

Mass of Stationary Cart = m₂ = 5 kg

Initial velocity of Glidding Cart = u₁ = 14 m/s

Initial velocity of Stationary Cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

To Find:

Final velocity of the coupled carts after the collision = v_{f}=?

Solution:

Law of Conservation of Momentum:

For a collision occurring between two objects in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

It is denoted by "p" and given by

Momentum = p = mass × velocity

Hence by law of Conservation of Momentum we hame

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

Here after collision both are stuck together so both will have same final velocity,

m_{1}\times u_{1}+m_{2}\times u_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})\times v_{f}

Substituting the values we get

2\times 14 + 5\times 0 =(2+5)\times v_{f}

v_{f}=\dfrac{28}{7}=4\ m/s

Therefore,

Final velocity of the coupled carts after the collision is

v_{f}=4\ m/s

Thoughts about Genetically Modified Crops
Alex787 [66]
I think that GMOs, also known as genetically modified crops or organisms, can be used in good and bad ways. They can provide crops to survive longer, and produce a bigger portion. However, on the other side of that, it is claimed that it creates a large amount of greenhouse gas emissions, which can turn into climate change.
