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

1c. Which of the following is a scalar quantity?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Scalar quantity. a)  35 m

Explanation:

Scalars and vectors are the geometrical representation of a physical quantity. Some physical quantities are scalars and others are vectors.

The physical quantities that are fundamental or derived belong to either of these categories.

The basic nature of a scalar is that it is expressed only with the magnitude.

The nature of a vector is that it has a magnitude as well a definite direction.

The basic way to differentiate a physical quantity whether it is a scalar or vector is to look for direction. If it has a direction, then it is a vector quantity or else it is a scalar. It is notable that every physical quantity has a magnitude.

Hence, the scalar quantity in the given list is  a). 35 m

Summarize how the eye gathers and focuses light.
Sati [7]

Answer:

The eyes collect and focus visible light. The lens and other structures of the eye work together to focus an image on the retina. ... Cells in the retina change the image to electrical signals that travel to the brain through the optic nerve. The brain interprets the electrical signals as shape, color, and brightness.
