Question

Can someone answer these or walk me through them

Answer 1

Problem Three

`(F_(2))/(F_(1)) = ((k*3q_1*3q_2)/(r^2))/((k*q_1*q_2)/(r^2))`

The ks, rs, q1, q2 all cancel out.

You are left with F2/F1 = 9/1

The answer is C

Problem Four

This problem is a bit harder. In the first place one of the charges must be - otherwise the force will not be an attractive one which is what the question implies. So let q < 0.

That aside, I don't know how the acceleration could be a constant. As the distance decreases the force increases and therefore so does the acceleration. But it is is not a constant.

I would say that the answer is B.
