Coulomb's Law: Two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each one initially experiences an electrost

atic force of magnitude F F due to the other. With time, charge gradually diminishes on both spheres by leaking off. When each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge, what will be the magnitude of the electrostatic force on each one?

Answer:

The magnitude of electrostatic force on each charge is quarter of the magnitude of initial electrostatic force. ( ¹/₄ F)

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{kQ_1Q_2}{r^2}

where;

Q₁ and Q₂ are the magnitude of the charges

r is the distance between the charges

k is Coulomb's constant

Since the charges are identical;

Q₁ = Q

Q₂ = Q

the electrostatic force experienced by each charge is given by;

F =  \frac{kQ^2}{r^2}

When each of the spheres has lost half of its initial charge;

Q₁ = Q/2

Q₂ = Q/2

F_2 = \frac{k(Q/2)(Q/2)}{r^2}\\\\ F_2 = \frac{k(Q)(Q)}{4r^2}\\\\F_2 = \frac{1}{4} (\frac{kQ^2}{r^2} )\\\\F_2 = \frac{1}{4} (F)

Therefore, the magnitude of electrostatic force on each charge is quarter of the magnitude of initial electrostatic force.

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Final speed of the car, v = 24.49 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the car, u = 0

Acceleration, a=3.1\ m/s^2

Time taken, t = 7.9 s

We need to find the final velocity of the car. Let it is given by v. It can be calculated using first equation of motion as :

v=u+at

v=0+3.1\times 7.9

v = 24.49 m/s

So, the final speed of the car is 24.49 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A line of dominos is knocked down. Which explanation is true?
Llana [10]

B: an increase in acceleration caused an increase in force.

This is based on the concept of force on an object.

Now, formula for force is commonly known as;

Force = mass × acceleration

Now, mass and acceleration are the input values that make the output which is the Force to either increase or decrease.

  • Now, for the line of dominoes to fall, it means that the force was so overwhelming that the dominoes couldn't resist it.

Now, this output which is the force became so much as a result of the increase in acceleration of the motion that triggered its movement.

Moreover, the force is directly proportional to the acceleration!

Thus, we can say that an increase in acceleration caused an increase in force.

Which best describes why Keplers observation of planetary motion is a law instead of a theory
svet-max [94.6K]

Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks. Take your pencil and pull the string until the pencil and two tacks make a triangle (see diagram at the right). Then begin to trace out a path with the pencil, keeping the string wrapped tightly around the tacks. The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constant. The two other points (represented here by the tack locations) are known as the foci of the ellipse. The closer together that these points are, the more closely that the ellipse resembles the shape of a circle. In fact, a circle is the special case of an ellipse in which the two foci are at the same location. Kepler's first law is rather simple - all planets orbit the sun in a path that resembles an ellipse, with the sun being located at one of the foci of that ellipse.
