Answer:

1 N

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

The force of attraction between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.

From the question,

Assuming the charges are the same in both case,

F ∝ /r²....................... Equation 1

Fr² = k

F'r'² = Fr²........................... Equation 2

Where F' = First Force, r'² = First distance, F = second force, r² = second distance.

make F the subject of the equation,

F = F'r'²/r².................... Equation 3

Given: F' = 4 N, r' = 3 m, r = 6 m

Substitute into equation 3

F = 4(3²)/6²

F = 36/36

F = 1 N

Explain why semiconductors, or metalloids, deserve their name.
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Because their properties like conductivity, electronic configuration and ionization lies in between the metals and nonmetals.

Explanation:

There are a total of six elements that fall in the category of semiconductors.

Namely these are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.

These elements look like metals i.e. are lustrous but do not conduct electricity  so well like a metal does.

Their chemical behavior falls between that of metals and nonmetals. For example, the pure metalloids form covalent crystals like the nonmetals, but like the metals, they generally do not form mono-atomic anions.

DochEvi [55]
Based on the given details with this question, I can say that the direction of motion is not conserved. This is because the boat is subjected to an external force because of water resistance. So, the answer for this question would be NO.

Burka [1]
The structure and curvature of the Earth results in beams of sunlight glancing off the equator and reaching other areas of the Earth. This means that the areas at the equator receive more energy as sun's rays hit them directly.
Therefore, the answer is C.

Would the springs inside a bathroom scale be more compressed or less compressed if you weighed yourself in an elevator that was
Ber [7]
More compressed. moving up = apparent weight (i.e., your norma force) is greater. this means you’ll weighr more and push those springs down even more than you would at rest.
