When separated by distance d, identically charged point-like objects A and B exert a force of magnitude F on each other. If you reduce the charge of A to one-fourth its original value, and the charge of B to one-fourth, and reduce the distance between the objects by half, what will be the new force that they exert on each other in terms of force F

Two identically charged point-like objects A and B exert a force of magnitude F on each other when separated by distance d. If the charges are reduced to one-fourth of their original values and the distance is halved, the new force will be one-fourth of the original force.

Two identically charged point-like objects A and B exert a force of magnitude F on each other when separated by distance d. This can be explained through Coulomb's law.

What is Coulomb's law?

Coulomb's law is a law stating that like charges repel and opposite charges attract, with a force proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

$F = k \frac{q_Aq_B}{d^{2} } = k \frac{q^{2} }{d^{2} }$

where,

and

are the charges of A and B (and equal to q).k is the Coulomb's constant.

If you reduce the charge of A to one-fourth its original value, and the charge of B to one-fourth, and reduce the distance between the objects by half, the new force will be:

$F_2 = k \frac{(0.25q_A)(0.25q_B)}{(0.5d)^{2} } = 0.25k\frac{q^{2} }{d^{2} } = 0.25 F$

Answer from: junkmailemail42

F ’= F 0.25

Explanation:

This problem refers to the electric force, which is described by Coulomb's law

F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

where k is the Coulomb constant, q the charges and r the separation between them.

The initial conditions are

F = k q_A q_B / d²

they indicate that the loads are reduced to ¼ q and the distance is reduced to ½ d

F ’= k (q / 4 q / 4) / (0.5 d)²

F ’= k q / 16 / 0.25 d²

F ’= k q² / d² 0.0625 / 0.25

F ’= F 0.25

It is reasonable to assume that the bulk modulus of blood is about the same as that of water (2.2 gpa). as one goes deeper and deeper in the ocean, the pressure increases by 10000 pa for every meter below the surface. if a diver goes down 80.0 m in the ocean, by how much does each cubic centimeter of her blood change in volume? give the answer in cubic centimeters (actually one cubic centimeter equals one milliliter).
