Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.

So Coulomb's Law states that F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} so if we double the charge on Q_1 and double the distance to (2d) we plug these into the equation to find

<span>F_{new} = k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{(2d)^2}=k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{4d^2} = \frac{2}{4} \cdot k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot F_{old}</span>

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be \frac{1}{2}F if I can remember my physics correctly.

A particular material has an index of refraction of 1.25. What percent of the speed of light in a vacuum is the speed of light i
beks73 [17]

Answer:

80% (Eighty percent)

Explanation:

The material has a refractive index (n) of 1.25

Speed of light in a vacuum (c) is 2.99792458 x 10⁸  m/s

We can find the speed of light in the material (v) using the relationship

n = c/v, similarly

v = c/n

therefore v = 2.99792458 x 10⁸  m/s ÷ (1.25) = 239 833 966 m/s

v = 239 833 966 m/s

Therefore the percentage of the speed of light in a vacuum that is the speed of light in the material can be calculated as

(v/c) × 100 = (1/n) × 100 = (1/1.25) × 100 = 0.8 × 100 = 80%

Therefore speed of light in the material (v) is eighty percent of the speed of light in the vacuum (c)

An amusement park ride raises people high into the air, suspends them for a moment, and then drops them at a rate of free-fall a
blsea [12.9K]

Answer: apparent weighlessness.


Explanation:


1) Balance of forces on a person falling:


i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).


ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).


iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).


2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.


3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.


Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.

A moving sidewalk 95 m in length carries passengers at a speed of 0.53 m/s. One passenger has a normal walking speed of 1.24 m/s
Archy [21]

Answer:

a) t = 1.8 x 10² s

b) t = 54 s

c) t = 49 s

Explanation:

a) The equation for the position of an object moving in a straight line at constan speed is:

x = x0 + v * t

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v = velocity

t = time

In this case, the origin of our reference system is at the begining of the sidewalk.

a) To calculate the time the passenger travels on the sidewalk without wlaking, we can use the equation for the position, using as speed the speed of the sidewalk:

x = x0 + v * t

95 m = 0m + 0. 53 m/s * t

t = 95 m/ 0.53 m/s

t = 1.8 x 10² s

b) Now, the speed of the passenger will be her walking speed plus the speed of th sidewalk (0.53 m/s + 1.24 m/s = 1.77 m/s)

t = 95 m/ 1.77 m/s = 54 s

c) In this case, the passenger is located 95 m from the begining of the sidewalk, then, x0 = 95 m and the final position will be x = 0. She walks in an opposite direction to the movement of the sidewalk, towards the origin of the system of reference ( the begining of the sidewalk). Then, her speed will be negative ( v = 0.53 m/s - 2*(1.24 m/s) = -1.95 m/s. Then:

0 m = 95 m -1.95 m/s * t

t = -95 m / -1.95 m/s = 49 s

The speed v of a sound wave traveling in a medium that has bulk modulus b and mass density ρ (mass divided by the volume) is v=b
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

As it is given that Bulk modulus  and density related to velocity of sound

v = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho}}

by rearranging the equation we can say

B = \rho * v^2

now we need to find the SI unit of Bulk modulus here

we can find it by plug in the units of density and speed here

B = \frac{kg}{m^3} * (\frac{m}{s})^2

so SI unit will be

B = \frac{kg}{m* s^2}

SO above is the SI unit of bulk Modulus

The flat-bed trailer carries two 1500-kg beams with the upper beam secured by a cable. The coefficients of static friction betwe
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

a) a= 8.33 m/s²,    T = 12.495 N , b)    a = 2.45 m / s²

Explanation:

a) this is an exercise of Newton's second law. As the upper load is secured by a cable, it cannot be moved, so the lower load is determined by the maximum acceleration.

We apply Newton's second law to the lower charge

            fr₁ + fr₂ = ma

The equation for the force of friction is

          fr = μ N

Y Axis

         N - W₁ –W₂ = 0

         N = W₁ + W₂

         N = (m₁ + m₂) g

Since the beams are the same, it has the same mass

        N = 2 m g

We replace

           μ₁ 2mg + μ₂ mg = m a

          a = (2μ₁ + μ₂) g

          a = (2 0.30 + 0.25) 9.8

          a= 8.33 m/s²

Let's look for cable tension with beam 2

          T = m₂ a

          T = 1500 8.33

          T = 12.495 N

b) For maximum deceleration the cable loses tension (T = 0 N), so as this beam has less friction is the one that will move first, we are assuming that the rope is horizontal

           fr = m₂ a₂

           N- w₂ = 0

          N = W₂ = mg

          μ₂ mg = m a₂

          a = μ₂ g

          a = 0.25 9.8

          a = 2.45 m / s²
