What do you think would happen to the force of attraction of two interacting charges if their distance apart is halved?

4 0

Answer:

The new force becomes 4 times the initial force.

Explanation:

The force of attraction or repulsion is given by the relation as follows :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

Where

d is the distance between the interacting charges

F is inversely proportional to the distance between charges.

If the distance is halved, d'=(d/2), new force is given by :

F'=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d'^2}\\\\=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{(\dfrac{d}{2})^2}\\\\=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{\dfrac{d^2}{4}}\\\\=4\times \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}\\\\F'=4F

So, the new force becomes 4 times the initial force.

A 25 kg ball is thrown into the air when thrown it's going 10 m/s calculate how high it travels
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² downward.
So any object with only gravity acting on it gains 9.8 m/s of
downward speed every second.

If the rock starts out moving upward at 10 m/s, then it will
continue upward for only  (10/9.8) = 1.02 second, before
it stops rising and starts falling.

Its average speed during that time is  (1/2) (10 + 0) = 5 m/s .

At an average speed of 5 m/s for 1.02 sec,
the rock rises

                   (5 m/s) x (1.02 sec)  =  5.102 meters .

A child (approximately 4 years old) takes her metal “slinky Toy” (a flexible coiled metal spring) and does various tests to dete
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

248

Explanation:

L = Inductance of the slinky = 130 μH = 130 x 10⁻⁶ H

l = length of the slinky = 3 m

N = number of turns in the slinky

r = radius of slinky = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Area of slinky is given as

A = πr²

A = (3.14) (0.04)²

A = 0.005024 m²

Inductance is given as

L = \frac{\mu _{o}N^{2}A}{l}

130\times 10^{-6} = \frac{(12.56\times 10^{-7})N^{2}(0.005024)}{3}

N = 248
