Answer:

as we move the two charges apart the attraction force between them will decrease in magnitude

Explanation:

As we know that two charges are unlike charges here so the force between them is attraction type of force

This force is given by Coulomb's law which is given as

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

so here this force is proportional to the product of two charges and inversely depends on the square of the distance between two charges

So here keeping the same magnitude of the charges we move them to large distance

So here the force between them must have decrease

So as we move the two charges apart the attraction force between them will decrease in magnitude

Answer:

The number of grains of sand on all the beaches on Earth

Explanation:

if we assume grain of sand has an average size , then the number of grains of sand on all the beaches on Earth is roughly $7.5 \times 10^{18}$

The total number of stars in the observable universe is roughly equivalent to 1 billion trillion. which is roughly equal to the number of grains of sand on all the beaches on Earth.

The torque exerted by a crowbar on an object increases with increased _______.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

force and leverage distance

Explanation:

the formula for torque if = force x distance

(the distance above is the leverage distance on the crow bar)

therefore if there is an increase in either the torque or the leverage distance, or both, the torque exerted by the crow bar also increases.

for example

lets assume a force of 5 n is applied on the crow bar with a leverage distance of 2 m.

the torque = 5 x 2 = 10 N.m

but if the force was increased to 7 N

torque = 7 x 2 = 12 N.m

from the illustration above, we can see that the torque increased with an increase in force. There would also be an increase in torque if the distance were to be increased.
