A gas filled balloon with a volume of 12.5 L at 0.90 atm and 294 K is allowed to rise to the stratosphere where the temperature is 268 K and the pressure is 1.0 millibar. What is the final volume of the balloon

Ithink the answer is d

The answer is 4f======since electrostatic force is given by    we let f be the electrostatic force when  r = 1 m    if we let  denote the electrostatic force when the distance is decreased so that r = 0.5m, then    we established earlier that f = kq₁q₂. therefore    the force will now be 4f.

Ke reqd to move from 0 to 50 will be proportional to 50x50 or 2500. this is equal to w.  to change vel from 50 to 150 you need energy prop to 22500 - 2500 = 20,000. this corresponds to 8w.  best answer is a) . work reqd is prop to velocity squared.
