The charge present determines a force to be attractive or repulsive.

The charges acquired by two bodies determines the Force as Attractive Or Repulsive.

Electric Force applied due to Electrical charges is same in magnitude but opposite in direction. This corresponds this phenomenon equivalent to the Newton's Third Law.

Examples of the experiments and observations:

  • On combing hair through a comb and then keeping it close to small pieces of paper shows attraction of paper pieces towards the comb.

This occurs due to the Electric charges present in the comb that induces charge in paper pieces leading to their attraction.

  • In both Gravitational Force and Coulomb force, the force remains inversely proportional to the square of the distance following the Inverse Square Law being the Central Force system. This only differs by the fact that in Gravitational Force, masses are used and in Coulomb force, charges are used.

The more the distance between the charges, the less is the Electric Force.

The lesser the distance between the charges, the more is the Electric Force.

If both the objects are charged the same i.e. either positive or negative then the Force is Repulsive and if the charges are Oppositely charged then the force is attractive.

Hence, the charge present determines a force to be attractive or repulsive.

Verizon [17]
I disagree with that opinion, and I have solid Physics to back me up.

The forces of gravity are always equal in both directions. The sun pulls the Earth with exactly the same force with which the Earth pulls the sun.

It may seem weird, but your weight on Earth is exactly the same as the Earth's weight on you. For the same reason.

What is the average de Broglie wavelength of oxygen molecules in air at a temperature of 27°C? Use the results of the kinetic th
asambeis [7]

Answer:

\lambda = 2.57 \times 10^{-11} m

Explanation:

Average velocity of oxygen molecule at given temperature is

v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

now we have

M = 32 g/mol = 0.032 kg/mol

T = 27 degree C = 300 K

now we have

v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3(8.31)(300)}{0.032}

v_{rms} = 483.4 m/s

now for de Broglie wavelength we know that

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}

\lambda = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{(5.31\times 10^{-26})(483.4)}

\lambda = 2.57 \times 10^{-11} m

Which mineral is commonly pinkish and has light-colored, wavy lines? A) quartz B) potassium feldspar C) pyroxene D) amphibole D)
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B

the mineral which is pinkish and light in color with wavy lines is potassium feldspar .                                                      

pyroxene is a mineral is typically dark in color generally it's color is  dark green.                                                                  

amphibole is also dark in color an is in green color.

olivine is a mineral which is in olive green color.

Quartz is a mineral which is light colored and it is also pink in color but it does not have wavy line.

A projectile is launched from ground level with an initial speed of 47 m/s at an angle of 0.6 radians above the horizontal. It s
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

30.67m

Explanation:

Using one of the equations of motion as follows, we can describe the path of the projectile in its horizontal or vertical displacement;

s = ut ± \frac{1}{2} at^2               ------------(i)

Where;

s = horizontal/vertical displacement

u = initial horizontal/vertical component of the velocity

a = acceleration of the projectile

t = time taken for the projectile to reach a certain horizontal or vertical position.

Since the question requires that we find the vertical distance from where the projectile was launched to where it hit the target, equation (i) can be made more specific as follows;

h = vt ± \frac{1}{2} at^2               ------------(ii)

Where;

h = vertical displacement

v = initial vertical component of the velocity = usinθ

a = acceleration due to gravity (since vertical motion is considered)

t = time taken for the projectile to hit the target

<em>From the question;</em>

u = 47m/s, θ = 0.6rads

=> usinθ = 47 sin 0.6

=> usinθ = 47 x 0.5646 = 26.54m/s

t = 1.7s

Take a = -g = -10.0m/s   (since motion is upwards against gravity)

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

h = vt - \frac{1}{2} at^2

h = 26.54(1.7) - \frac{1}{2} (10)(1.7)^2

h = 45.118 - 14.45

h = 30.67m

Therefore, the vertical distance is 30.67m

In triangle ABC , using Pythagorean theorem

BC = sqrt(AB² + AC²)

r = sqrt(y² + x²)                                eq-1

taking derivative both side relative to "t"

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(y² + x²) ) ) (2 y (dy/dt) + 2 x (dx/dt))

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) (2 (0.5) (dy/dt) + 2 (0.5) (dx/dt))

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) ( v₁ + v₂)

15= (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) ( - 30 + v₂)

v₂ = 51.2 m/s
