You can painlessly wade into a pool, but doing a belly flop off of the high diving board hurts because of the cohesion of the water molecules.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Water is represented as H20 where two hydrogen atoms are bonded to one oxygen atom. Due to force of attraction between the water molecules they stick together providing a greater force when an object or a body acts upon them.

Hence moving slowly in water or dipping slowly will not produce any opposite form whereas flipping does as it tries to separate the body between the water molecules when we fall with a certain amount of force.

The charges of two particles are as follows: Q1=2 x 10 -8 C and Q2 = 3 x 10 -7 C. Find the magnitude of the force between these
Fantom [35]

Answer:

F = 3.86 x 10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

First, we will find the distance between the two particles:

r = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2+(z_{2}-z_{1})^2}\\

where,

r = distance between the particles = ?

(x₁, y₁, z₁) = (2, 5, 1)

(x₂, y₂, z₂) = (3, 2, 3)

Therefore,

r = \sqrt{(3-2)^2+(2-5)^2+(3-1)^2}\\r = 3.741\ m\\

Now, we will calculate the magnitude of the force between the charges by using Coulomb's Law:

F = \frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^2}\\

where,

F = magnitude of force = ?

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q₁ = magnitude of first charge = 2 x 10⁻⁸ C

q₂ = magnitude of second charge = 3 x 10⁻⁷ C

r = distance between the charges = 3.741 m

Therefore,

F = \frac{(9\ x\ 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2)(2\ x\ 10^{-8}\ C)(3\ x\ 10^{-7}\ C)}{(3.741\ m)^2}\\

<u>F = 3.86 x 10⁻⁶ N</u>

The temperature of a black body is 500 and its radiation is of wavelength 600 . If the number of oscillators with energy is 100
stiks02 [169]

Answer: An equation is missing in your question below is the missing equation

a) ≈ 8396

b) 150 nm/k

Explanation:

<u>A) Determine the number of Oscillators in the black body</u>

number of oscillators = 8395

attached below is the detailed solution

<u>b) determine the peak wavelength of the black body </u>

Black body temperature = 20,000 K

applying Wien's law / formula

λmax = b / T  ------ ( 1 )

T = 20,000 K

b = 3 * 10^6 nm

∴  λmax = 150 nm/k

A plank of length L=2.200 m and mass M=4.00 kg is suspended horizontally by a thin cable at one end and to a pivot on a wall at
baherus [9]

Hello!

Let's begin by doing a summation of torques, placing the pivot point at the attachment point of the rod to the wall.

\Sigma \tau = 0

We have two torques acting on the rod:
- Force of gravity at the center of mass (d = 0.700 m)

- VERTICAL component of the tension at a distance of 'L' (L = 2.200 m)

Both of these act in opposite directions. Let's use the equation for torque:
\tau = r \times F

Doing the summation using their respective lever arms:

0 = L Tsin\theta  - dF_g

dF_g = LTsin\theta

Our unknown is 'theta' - the angle the string forms with the rod. Let's use right triangle trig to solve:

tan\theta = \frac{H}{L}\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{H}{L}) = \theta\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{1.70}{2.200}) = 37.69^o

Now, let's solve for 'T'.

T = \frac{dMg}{Lsin\theta}

Plugging in the values:
T = \frac{(0.700)(4.00)(9.8)}{(2.200)sin(37.69)} = \boxed{20.399 N}
