Alec says the force of gravity is stronger on a piece of paper after it’s crumpled. His classmate, Jordan, disagrees. Alec “prov

es” his point by dropping two pieces of paper, one crumpled and the other not. Sure enough, the crumpled piece falls faster. Has Alec proven his point? Use at least 2 to 3 complete content related sentences to explain.

No, gravity acts equally on all objects.  The crumpled paper falls faster because it resists the drag force due to the atmosphere because of its compact size.  A flat piece of paper has an extended body and "catches" the air and falls more slowly.  In a vacuum they would fall at the same rate either way.

The electric force is exerted by a 40-nC charged particle located at the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system on a 10-nC char
notsponge [240]

Answer:

450 × 10 ⁻⁹ N

Explanation:

From the given:

The direction of force is;

tan \ \theta = \dfrac{2}{2}

\theta =tan  ^{-1} (1)

\theta = 45^0

Hence, the angle is 45° counterclockwise from + x-axis

However;

the magnitude of the force is:

F = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

F = \dfrac{(9*10^9 \ Nm^2/C^2 )*( 40 * 10^{-9} \ C ) * (10*10^{-9} \ C)}{(\sqrt{8})^2}

F = 450 \times 10^{-9} \ N

what kind of image is formed when the image distance is positive? what kind of image is formed when the image distance is negati
MariettaO [177]

When the image distance is positive, the image is on the same side of the mirror as the object, and it is real and inverted. When the image distance is negative, the image is behind the mirror, so the image is virtual and upright. A negative m means that the image is inverted. Positive means an upright image.
