Answer:

0.055 N

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

F α 1/r²

F = k/r²

F₁r₁² = F₂r₂²......................... Equation 1

Where F₁ = Initial force, r₁ = initial distance, F₂ = Final force, r₂ = Final distance.

making F₂ the subject of the equation

F₂ = F₁r₁²/r₂²..................... Equation 2

Given: F₁ = 5.50 N.

Let: r₁ = x m, then r₂= 10x m

Substitute into equation 2

F₂ = 5.5(x²)/(10x)²

F₂ = 5.5x²/100x²

F₂ = 5.5/100

F₂ = 0.055 N.

Hence the force becomes 0.055 N

Which of the following wavelengths will produce standing waves on a string that is 3.5 m long?
denpristay [2]

In a string of length L, the wavelength of the n-th harmonic of the standing wave produced in the string is given by:

\lambda=\frac{2}{n} L


The length of the string in this problem is L=3.5 m, therefore the wavelength of the 1st harmonic of the standing wave is:

\lambda=\frac{2}{1} \cdot 3.5 m=7.0 m


The wavelength of the 2nd harmonic is:

\lambda=\frac{2}{2} \cdot 3.5 m=3.5 m


The wavelength of the 4th harmonic is:

\lambda=\frac{2}{4} \cdot 3.5 m=1.75 m


It is not possible to find any integer n such that \lambda=5 m, therefore the correct options are A, B and D.

1. What is the potential energy of a 4-kilogram potted plant that is on a 1 meter-high plant
Yuri [45]

39.2 J

Explanation:

Step 1:

To find the potential energy the following formula is used.

Potential Energy = m × g × h

Where,

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h =  Height

Step 2:

Here m = 4 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², h = 1 m

Potential Energy = ( 4 × 9.8 × 1)

                             = 39.2 J

A bicyclist is initially traveling at 3 m/s. The bicyclist accelerates at 1 m/s2 for 5 seconds.
leonid [27]
The change in velocity is 5m/s which added to the initial 3m/s makes the final velocity 8m/s

Distance = (3*5) + (1/2*1*5^2)= 15+12.5= 27.5m

Question 4 options: The steps that lead you from dependence to independence are referred to as The _________ to Lifetime Fitness
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Stairway.

Explanation:

The steps that lead you from dependence to independence are referred to as the stairway to Lifetime Fitness, Health, and Wellness.

This ultimately implies that, these stairway or steps are very important and essential for all humans who seek Lifetime Fitness, Health, and Wellness.

A good health can be defined as the state of well-being (wellness) in which all of the components of an individual's health are balanced. These state of wellness comprises of six (6) important components and they are;

1. Physical: this is a measure of the state of an individual's body or the way the body functions. It is enhanced by eating right, working out or exercising, avoiding drugs and alcohol, maintaining a good body mass index etc.

2. Emotional: this deals with the state of an individual's mind being void of worries, negativity etc.

3. Social: this involves keeping a good relationship with friends, family and many others around.

4. Environmental: it deals with maintaining a hygienic surrounding, that is devoid of pollutants.

5. Mental or intellectual: avoiding unnecessary stress and anxiety while dealing or coping with the realities of life.

6. Spiritual: it encompasses belief systems, values, ideals, morality etc.

Hence, when an individual is able to balance all of these above mentioned components, then he or she is said to be healthy.
