Answer:

The force on the bug and the force on the bus are the same.

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law of Motion states that, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" or it can be restated that If a high-speed bus exerts a force on an innocent bug, then the innocent bug must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on the high-speed bus.

Note: though the forces are equal but the effect are not, in this case the innocent bug was splattered but the bus was not destroyed.

Along the line connecting the two charges, at what distance from the charge q1 is the total electric field from the two charges
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})

Explanation:

Here two charges are placed at distance "d" apart

now the net value of electric field at some position between two charges will be ZERO

so we will have

electric field due to charge 1 = electric field due to charge 2

E_1 = E_2

Let the position where net field is zero will lie at distance "r" from q1

\frac{kq_1}{r^2} = \frac{kq_2}{(d-r)^2}

now we will have

\frac{(d - r)^2}{r^2} = \frac{q_2}{q_1}

now square root both sides

\frac{d}{r} - 1 = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}}

now we have

\frac{d}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}} + 1

so we have

r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})

Select the correct answer.<br> Which type of energy is thermal energy a form of
elena-s [515]
Kinetic energy. thermal energy (a low form of energy ) is a form of kinetic energy as it is produced as a result of motion of particles either if they vibrate at their position or they move along longer paths. Motion produces friction or resistance which leads to excitation and thus the heat is produced. The higher the motion of the particles, the higher would be the thermal energy.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Three types of electromagnetic waves, used to transmit various information

Explanation:

A form of energy waves having both electric & magnetic fields are Electromagnetic waves. Three types -

Radio Waves - These have longest wavelengths & transmit data through radio, satellites, radar .

Micro Waves - These have shorter wavelengths & are used in cooking appliances & predicting weather.

X rays - These have more short wavelength and can penerate soft tissues like skin & muscle, hence are used for medical examining
