One charge is decreased to one-third of its original value,
and a second charge is decreased to one-half of its
original value.
how will the electrical force between the charges compare
with the original force?
o it will increase to six times the original force.
o it will increase to thirty-six times the original force.
it will decrease to one-sixth the original force.
it will decrease to one-thirty-sixth the original force.

It will decrease to one-sixth the original force.

Explanation:

The electrical force is given by :

..............(1)

Where

k is the electrostatic constant

r is the distance between charges

One charge is decreased to one-third of its original value,  and a second charge is decreased to one-half of its  original value.

i.e.

and

New force is given by :

So, the new force will decrease to one-sixth the original force. Hence, the correct option is (c).

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
