Examples of such quantities include distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration, force, mass, momentum, energy, work, power, etc. All these quantities can by divided into two categories - vectors and scalars. A vector quantity is a quantity that is fully described by both magnitude and direction.

Force F acts between two charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. If q1 is increased to twice its original value and the d

Step2247 [10]

Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.

So Coulomb's Law states that $F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2}$ so if we double the charge on $Q_1$ and double the distance to $(2d)$ we plug these into the equation to find

<span> $F_{new} = k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{(2d)^2}=k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{4d^2} = \frac{2}{4} \cdot k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot F_{old}$ </span>

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be $\frac{1}{2}F$ if I can remember my physics correctly.

A coin is dropped. What is its displacement after 0.30 s.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Assuming this coin is on earth and that it wasn’t dropped forcefully:
Use the formula d = 1/2at^2. Rewriting using a=g and solving for height h gets us h = 1/2(9.8)t^2.
In this case that would get that the change in height h is 0.5(9.8)(0.3^2) = 0.441 m.

A hazard sign has 3 identical

melomori [17]

Answer and Explanation: To know how much tape he will need, we have to calculate the perimeter of each parallelogram-shaped stripe.

Perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a figure.

For a parallelogram:

P = 2*length + 2*width

So, we need to determine width and length of the stripe.

Width is 3 inches. Length is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, whose sides are 6 and 18 inches. Then, length is

$h=\sqrt{18^{2}+6^{2}}$

$h=\sqrt{360}$

h = 19 in

Perimeter of the first stripe is

P = (2*19) + (2*3)

P = 44 inches

The hazard sign has 3 stripes. So total perimeter is

$P_{t}=$ 44 + 44 + 44

$P_{t}=$ 132 inches

To outline the parallelogram-shaped stripes, Charles need a total of 132 inches of tape. Since one roll has 144 inches, he will have enough tape to finish the job.
