Electrostatic force The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point charges Q and q of the same sign is given by
- a. Find the instantaneous rate of change of the force with respect to the distance between the charges.
- b. For two identical charges with Q = q = 1 C, what is the instantaneous rate of change of the force at a separation of x = 0.001 m?
- c. Does the magnitude of the instantaneous rate of change of the force increase or decrease with the separation? Explain.

- Skidding in a Curve A car is traveling on a curve that forms a circular arc. The force F needed to keep the car from skidding is jointly proportional to the weight w of the car and the square of its speed s and is inversely proportional to the radius r of the curve. a Write an equation that expresses this variation. b A car weighing 1600 lb travels around a curve at 60 mi/h. The next car to round this curve weighs 2500 lb and requires the same force as the first car to keep from skidding. How fast is the second car traveling?arrow_forwardFind the intensity of light at a depth of 12 meter if I0=14 and k=0.7. Round to two decimals.arrow_forwardThe kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forward
