Two particles with charges +2
q and +
q are separated by a distance
r . The +2
q particle has an electric field
E at distance
r and exerts a force
F on the +
q particle. Use this information to answer questions 31–32.
What is the electric field of the +
q particle at the same distance and what force does it exert on the +2
q particle?

Section summary
- The electrostatic force field surrounding a charged object extends out into space in all directions.
- The electrostatic force exerted by a point charge on a test charge at a distance
depends on the charge of both charges, as well as the distance between the two.
- The electric field
is defined to be
where
is the Coulomb or electrostatic force exerted on a small positive test charge
.
has units of N/C.
- The magnitude of the electric field
created by a point charge
is
where
is the distance from
. The electric field
is a vector and fields due to multiple charges add like vectors.

you have been hired as an espert witness in a court case involving an automobile accident. the accident involved car A of mass 1500kg which crashed into stationary car B of mass 1100kg. the driver of car A applied his brakes 15 m before he skidded and crashed into car B. after the collision, car A s
can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing

A string is 3.00 m long with a mass of 5.00 g. The string is held taut with a tension of 500.00 N applied to the string. A pulse is sent down the string. How long does it take the pulse to travel the 3.00 m of the string?
Who can show me the full solution in this problem?
