Two point charges are brought closer together, increasing the force between them by a factor of 17. by what factor was their separation decreased? in other words, if r1 is the original separation and r2 is the final separation, what is the ratio r1/r2?

Avehicle has an oil leak that is causing the entire oil pan to be wet, but inspection reveals no exact source after cleaning off the oil residue. technician a says to install a fluorescent dye in the crankcase and operate the engine, then re-inspect for leaks with a special light (black light). technician b says the oil leak may be coming from a source at the top of the engine, such as a valve cover gasket. who is correct?

Air initially at 0.75 bar, 1000 k, and occupying a volume of 0.12 m^3 undergoes two processes. process 1-2: the air is compressed isothermally until the volume is halved. process 2-3: the air undergoes a constant pressure process until the volume is halved again. assume ideal gas behavior. a) determine the mass of the air, in kg. b) the work and the heat transfer for each of the two processes, in kj. (100 kj = 1 bar . m^3)

The average density of the planet uranus is 1.27 103 kg/m3. the ratio of the mass of neptune to that of uranus is 1.19. the ratio of the radius of neptune to that of uranus is 0.969. find the average density of neptune.
