<span>To begin, the mouse walks from 5 to 12 cm, for a displacement of 7 cm. Next, it walks 8 cm in the opposite direction, for a total displacement of (7 + [-8]) or (-1) cm. This leaves the mouse on 4 cm, and then it walks from there to the 7cm location, for a displacement of 7-4 or +3 cm. Adding 3cm to -1cm gives a final displacement of +2cm.</span>
Answer:
W = 0.060 J
v_2 = 0.18 m/s
Explanation:
solution:
for the spring:
W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 - 1/2*k*x_2^2
x_1 = -0.025 m and x_2 = 0
W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 = 1/2*(250 N/m)(-0.028m)^2
W = 0.060 J
the work-energy theorem,
W_tot = K_2 - K_1 = ΔK
with K = 1/2*m*v^2
v_2 = √2*W/m
v_2 = 0.18 m/s
Answer: The initial force is reduced a factor 1/4 when the separation between charge is doubled
Explanation: As it well known the electric force between two charges is given by:
Finitial=k*q1*q2/d^2 where d is the distance between charges and k is a constant
if the distance is doubled this means 2*dinitial thus the new force is equal to F initial* 1/4
