A 15 C point charge is located on the yaxis at (0, 0.25). A second charge of 10 C is located on the x-axis at (0.25, 0). If th

Answer:

10.8 N

Explanation:

The question requires the force between them, hence, we only need the magnitude of the force without considering what direction it's acting.

Parameters given:

Q1 = 15 * 10^(-6) C

Q2 = 10 * 10^(-6) C

The diagram explains better.

The electrostatic force BETWEEN Q1 and Q2 is:

F = (k * Q1 * Q2)/r²

Using Pythagoras theorem:

r² = 0.25² + 0.25² = 0.0625 + 0.0625

r² = 0.125

=> F = [9 * 10^9 * 15 * 10^(-6) * 10 * 10^(-6)]/0.125

F = 1.35/0.125

F = 10.8 N

A kangaroo kicks downward with a 1000N force. According to Newton's Law the kangaroo is propelled into the air by:
bogdanovich [222]
<h3>Answer: B) his muscles</h3>

Explanation:

Specifically his leg muscles. As the leg muscles expand, they push down on the ground. Newton's 3rd law says that for any action, there's an opposite and equal reaction. That means a downward push into the ground will have the ground push back, more or less, and that's why the kangaroo will jump. The ground (and the earth entirely) being much more massive compared to the animal means that the ground doesn't move while the kangaroo does move. Perhaps on a very microscopic tiny level the ground/earth does move but it's so small that we practically consider it 0.

This experiment can be done with a wall as well. Go up to a wall and lean against it with your hands. Then do a pushup to move further away from the wall, but you don't necessarily need to lose contact with the wall's surface. As you push against the wall, the wall pushes back, and that causes you to move backward. If the wall was something flimsy like cardboard, then you could easily push the wall over and you wouldn't move back very much. It all depends how much mass is in the object you're pushing on.

Who are psychologists today
SVEN [57.7K]
What does the psychology workforce look like? In July, APA's Center for Workforce Studies (CWS) released a report to address that question. The report paints a picture of demographic trends in the field from 2005 to 2013, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau's annual American Community Survey.
Though the report paints that picture in relatively broad brushstrokes, it provides an important first step toward a more complete understanding of psychology's workforce. Precise workforce data help policymakers, educators and the public understand the range of psychology's impact on society and can help determine the resources necessary to support them, says Ronald Rozensky, PhD, a professor of clinical and health psychology at the University of Florida and a longtime advocate of workforce analysis.
"Accurate workforce data are really important to use when advocating for education, training, scientific funding and reimbursement for practice," he says.
The new report analyzed data from the approximately 83,000 individuals who listed their occupation as "psychologist" and reported having a professional degree (such as an MD, DDS or JD) or doctoral degree (such as a PhD or EdD) in any field. From 2005 to 2013, the supply of active psychologists remained fairly stable, the authors found, with enough new psychologists entering the field to compensate for an increase in the number of retired psychologists over that span.
That workforce was not evenly distributed, however. California, New York and Pennsylvania have the largest numbers of active psychologists. In fact, those three states together account for a third of the workforce. Western and Southern states tended to have the lowest numbers of active psychologists.

The magnetic field of a bar magnet Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an
viva [34]

Answer:

A: Always points from north to south, whether we look outside the magnet or inside the magnet

Explanation:

When we freely suspend a bar magnet, it's magnetic field will always rest in the north to south direction due to the fact that the Earth's magnetic south pole usually lies in the direction of the geographic north while the Earth's magnetic north pole usually lies in the direction of the geographic south.

Now, we all know that in magnets, like poles will repel and unlike poles will attract. What this now means is that the magnet will always point from the north to the south direction.
