Answer:

(a) The force between them quadruples

Explanation:

According to coulomb's law, initial force between the two charged objects is given as;

F_1=\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}

where;

k is coulomb's constant

q₁ is the charge on the first object

q₂ is the charge on the second object

r is the distance between the two objects

When the charges on both objects are doubled, then;

q₁ = 2q₁

q₂ = 2q₂

Force between the two charged objects will become

F_2 = \frac{K2q_12q_2}{r^2} =  \frac{4Kq_1q_2}{r^2} = 4(\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}) = 4F_1

Therefore, the force between them quadruples

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

y_{hubble} = 77\ \ m

y_{aceribo} = 1.1*10^6 \ \ m

Explanation:

what is the smallest crater that each of these telescopes could resolve on our moon?

For moon ;

s = 3.8 × 10 ⁸ m

y = 1.22 λs/D

where;

λ = 400 nm = 400× 10 ⁻⁹

D = 2.4 m

The smallest crater for the hubble space is calculated as follows:

y_{hubble} = 1.22*400*10^{-9}*3.8*10^8/2.4

y_{hubble} = 77\ \ m

For Aceribo ;

y = 1.22 λs/D

where :

λ = 75 cm = 0.75 m

D = 305 m

y_{acerbo} = 1.22*0.75 *3.8*10^8/305

y_{aceribo} = 1.1*10^6 \ \ m

Engineers tasked with building a car bumper need high-quality plastic that is readily available. They found the material polycar
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The material must be durable (quality of the material requirement)

Explanation:

The design criteria set for the materials used for technological design are;

1) The materials should be affordable (less costly)

2) The materials should be last for a long duration (high durability)

3) The material should be readily available (easily sourced)

Therefore, given that the engineers initially had the criteria for the required plastic to be of high quality and to be readily available, and that the poly-carbonate they found is long lasting and not too costly, the criteria met that was set initially was the  quality criteria of durability.

After a laser bean passes through two thin parallel slits, thefirst completely dark fringes occur at ± 15.00with the original di
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

143 °

Explanation:

a ) If d be the distance between slits , λ be wavelength of light used and at angle θ nth dark fringe is formed then

d sinθ = ( 2n+1) λ/2

for first dark fringe

d sinθ = λ/2

d /λ = 1/ 2 sinθ

1 / 2 sin15

= 1.93

b )

For intensity of fringe at angle θ,  the relation is

I = I₀ cos²θ

I / I₀  = cos²θ/2

Given I / I₀ =0. 1

0.1 = cos²θ/2

θ/2 = 71.5

θ = 143 °

Need Help with this physics question, just a written response
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction

so it tells us that the force exerted by the earth on the spacecraft is equal to the force exerted by the spacecraft on the earth. But we do not see the earth moving towards the spacecraft because the inertia of the spacecraft is very less than the inertia of the earth.
