Answer:
True.
Explanation:
The density of an object is given by its mass divided by its volume. It can be given as follows :
It can be seen that the density of an object is directly proportional to its mass. It means if the mass of an object increase, its density will also increase. Hence, the given statement is true.
Answer:
The charges are q₁ = 2 × 10⁻⁸ C and q₂ = 3 × 10⁻⁸ C
Explanation:
Here is the complete question
Two identical tiny balls have charge q1 and q2. The repulsive force one exerts on the other when they are 20cm apart is 1.35 X 10-4 N. after the balls are touched together and then represented once again to 20cm, now the repulsive force is found to be 1.40 X 10-4 N. find the charges q1 and q2.
Solution
The force F = 1.35 × 10⁻⁴ N when the charges are separated a distance of r = 20 cm = 0.2 m is given by
F = kq₁q₂/r₁²
q₁q₂ = Fr₁²/k
q₁q₂ = 1.35 × 10⁻⁴ N × (0.2 m)²/9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² = 0.054/9 × 10⁻¹³ C² = 0.006 × 10⁻¹³ C² = 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²
q₁q₂ = 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C² (1)
When the charges are brought together, the charge is now q = (q₁ + q₂)/2
The new repulsive force F = 1.406 × 10⁻⁴ N at a distance of r₂ = 20 cm = 0.2 m is then
F₂ = kq²/r₂²
q² = F₂r₂²/k = 1.406 × 10⁻⁴ N × (0.2 m)²/9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² = 0.00625 × 10⁻¹³ C² = 6.25 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²
q² = 6.25 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²
q = √(6.25 × 10⁻¹⁶) C
q = 2.5 × 10⁻⁸ C
(q₁ + q₂)/2 = 2.5 × 10⁻⁸ C
(q₁ + q₂) = 2 × 2.5 × 10⁻⁸ C
q₁ + q₂ = 5 × 10⁻⁸ C (2)
q₁ = 5 × 10⁻⁸ C - q₂ (3)
Substituting equation (3) into (1), we have
(5 × 10⁻⁸ C - q₂)q₂ = 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²
Expanding the bracket, we have
(5 × 10⁻⁸ C)q₂ - q₂² = 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²
So, q₂² - (5 × 10⁻⁸ C)q₂ + 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C² = 0
Using the quadratic formula to find q₂
q₁ = 5 × 10⁻⁸ C - q₂
q₁ = 5 × 10⁻⁸ C - 3 × 10⁻⁸ C or 5 × 10⁻⁸ C - 2 × 10⁻⁸ C
q₁ = 2 × 10⁻⁸ C or 3 × 10⁻⁸ C
So the charges are q₁ = 2 × 10⁻⁸ C and q₂ = 3 × 10⁻⁸ C
