Answer:

On the magnitude of the charges, on their separation and on the sign of the charges

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric force between two charges is given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

From the formula, we see that the magnitude of the force depends on the following factors:

- magnitude of the two charges

- separation between the charges

Moreover, the direction of the force depends on the sign of the two charges. In fact:

- if the two charges have same sign, the force is repulsive

- if the two charges have opposite signs, the force is attractive

An electric toaster is rated 1200 watts at 120 volts. what is the total electrical energy used to operate the toaster for 30 sec

Anarel [89]

Energy is calculated as power*time, so give the wattage of 1200 W (equivalent to 1200 Joules/second) and time of 30 seconds, multiplying these gives 36000 J or 36 kJ of electrical energy.

If electrical charge or current is needed: Power = voltage * current, so given the power of 1200 watts and voltage of 120 V, current is 1200 W / 120 V = 10 Amperes. Charge is calculated by multiplying 10 A*30 s = 300 C.

For a movie stunt, an empty truck with a mass of 2000 kg goes 10 m/s and runs into a stopped car of mass 1000 kg. the truck then

babunello [35]

ANSWER

Both trucks will move together with speed v = 6.67 m/s

so correct answer will be

The speed of the combined vehicles is less than the initial speed of the truck.

EXPLANATION

As we know that there is no external force on the system of two trucks

So here momentum of the two trucks before collision and after collision will remain same

So here we will have

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

so here we will have

$v_{1i} = 10 m/s$

$v_{2i} = 0$

$m_1 = 2000 kg$

$m_2 = 1000 kg$

now we will have

$2000\times 10 + 1000\times 0 = (2000 + 1000) v$

$v = \frac{20000}{3000} = 6.67 m/s$

so correct answer will be

The speed of the combined vehicles is less than the initial speed of the truck.

A clown at a birthday party has brought along a helium cylinder, with which he intends to fill balloons. When full, each balloon

Furkat [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law:

$P\times V=constant$

Thus,

$P_{cylinder}\times V_{cylinder}=n\times P_{balloon}\times V_{balloon}$

Where, n is the number of the balloons

From the question, it is given that:

For balloon:

P = $1.2\times 10^5$ Pa

V = 0.040 m³

For cylinder:

P = $1.80\times 10^7$ Pa

V = 0.0031 m³

So,

$1.80\times 10^7\times 0.0031=n\times 1.2\times 10^5\times 0.040$

n = 11.625

<u>So, Maximum number of balloons = 11</u>

Which of the following is NOT a valid reason that less energy is transferred at each level of the food chain?

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Explanation:

I'm pretty sure the answer is B because animals at the top need a lot of energy, so to make up for loss of energy at the higher levels, those organisms at the top have to consume a lot more.
