Coulomb's law states that the force F of attraction between two oppositely charged particles varies jointly as the magnitude of their electrical charges q1 and q2 and inversely as the square of the distance d between the particles. Find the effect on F of doubling q1 and q2 and halving the distance between them.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: Force F will be one-sixteenth of the new force when the charges are doubled and distance halved

Explanation:

Let the charges be q1 and q2 and the distance between the charges be 'd'

Mathematical representation of coulombs law will be;

F1=kq1q2/d²...(1)

Where k is the electrostatic constant.

If q1 and q2 is doubled and the distance halved, we will have;

F2 = k(2q1)(2q2)/(d/2)²

F2 = 4kq1q2/(d²/4)

F2 = 16kq1q2/d²...(2)

Dividing equation 1 by 2

F1/F2 = kq1q2/d² ÷ 16kq1q2/d²

F1/F2 = kq1q2/d² × d²/16kq1q2

F1/F2 = 1/16

F1 = 1/16F2

This shows that the force F will be one-sixteenth of the new force when the charges are doubled and distance halved

What does it mean if an experiment is replicable? Why is it important that experiments be replicated?

Answers

If an experiment is replicable it means that the conduction of the experiment can be done multiple times to obtain data and or results. It is important that experiments be replicated because to basically avoid error in obtaining data. And to make sure a particular set of results aren't because of chance or error in measurement or analysis.

Simon is riding a bike at 12 km/h away from his friend Keesha.He throws a ball at 5 km/h back to Keesha, who is standing still on a sidewalk. 
How fast would Keesha say the ball is traveling toward her?

Answers


I notice that even though we're working with frames of reference
here, you never said which frame the '5 km/hr' is measured in.

In fact !  You didn't even say which frame the '12 km/hr' of his
bike is measured in.

So there are several different ways this could go.  I'll do it the way
I THINK you meant it, but that doesn't guarantee anything.

-- Simon is riding his bike at 12 km/hr relative to the sidewalk,
away from Keesha.

-- He throws a ball at Keesha, at 5 km/hr relative to his own face.

-- Keesha sees the ball approaching her at (12 - 5) = 7 km/hr
relative to the ground and to her.

Which of the following is the largest disadvantage of hydropower

Answers

Hydro power, although a low-cost option, is not implemented every time because of the amount of disadvantages there are. One of the disadvantages this has is the pollution is gives. Since the reservoir is always filled with water, this causes any surrounding plants and trees to decompose, releasing a huge amount of methane and carbon dioxide into the environment. Aside from this, it also destroys nearby habitats, and diverts natural waterways, effectively killing fishes too.

What happens to the energy that is lost when water freezes

Answers

Water from a liquid state hasinternal energy in them that defines the translational and rotational energy ofthe molecules of water. However, when water freezes, it slowly turns into solidphase and therefore lesser temperature is applied to freeze the watermolecules. The energy that is lost in the liquid is transferred to the solidstate of the water. Even though there is little or no movement of watermolecules in the solid state, there is still internal energy of the water.
