Explanation:

Remark

Anybody who has dealt with Christmas Tree lights knows what can be done. You must take a bulb you know to be good and try each bulb in turn until the whole string lights up. If two bulbs are dead, give up and go buy another string. Two bulbs create a lot of combinations.

The circuit is a series circuit.

Particle q1 has a positive 6 µc charge. particle q2 has a positive 2 µc charge. they are located 0.1 meters apart. recall that k

Dmitrij [34]

(a) Force between the two charges

The electrostatic force between the two charges is given by:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, r their separation.

In this problem:

$q_1 =6 \mu C=6 \cdot 10^{-6}C$

$q_2=2 \mu C=2 \cdot 10^{-6}C$

$r=0.1 m$

Substituting into the equation, we find

$F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(6 \cdot 10^{-6}C)(2 \cdot 10^{-6}C)}{(0.1 m)^2}=10.8 N$

(b) direction of particle q2

Particle q2 wants to move in the direction of the force acting on it. The direction of the force depends on the relative sign of the two charges: like charges attract each other, opposite charges repel each other. In this case, the two charges are both positive, so they repel each other and q2 tends to move away from particle q1.

The electrons involved in the formation of a chemical bond are called

tatiyna

Answer: Valence electrons

Valence electrons are those that are in the outermost or superficial layer of the atom, which means they have the highest energy compared to those of the inner layers.

Because of their position, it is easier for these electrons to interact with other atoms of their own element as well as different elements. This is done through the process of forming bonds when being attracted by other atoms.

A powerful searchlight shines on a man. The man's cross-sectional area is 0.500m2 perpendicular to the light beam, and the inten

babymother [125]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵N

(b) the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.

Explanation:

Given;

cross-sectional area of the man, A = 0.500m²

intensity of light, I = 35.5kW/m²

If all the incident light were absorbed, the pressure of the incident light on the man can be calculated as follows;

P = I/c

where;

P is the pressure of the incident light

I is the intensity of the incident light

c is the speed of light

$P = \frac{I}{c} =\frac{35500}{3*10^8} = 1.18*10^{-4} \ N/m^2$

F = PA

where;

F is the force of the incident light on the man

P is the pressure of the incident light on the man

A is the cross-sectional area of the man

F = 1.18 x 10⁻⁴ x 0.5 = 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N

The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N

Therefore, the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.

How fast was the storm that hit Galveston and how men died?

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The storm was a category 4 hurricane that struck Galveston, Texas, on September 8, 1900, bringing winds of 130 miles (210 km) per hour and high tides that overwhelmed the low-lying coastal city, demolishing buildings and claiming more than 8,000 lives.
