(a) Determine the circumference of the Earth through the equation,
            C = 2πr
Substituting the known values, 
           C = 2π(1.50 x 10¹¹ m)
             C = 9.424 x 10¹¹ m

Then, divide the answer by time which is given to a year which is equal to 31536000 s. 
          orbital speed = (9.424 x 10¹¹ m)/31536000 s

               orbital speed = 29883.307 m/s

Hence, the orbital speed of the Earth is ~29883.307 m/s.

(b) The mass of the sun is ~1.9891 x 10³⁰ kg.

Ccording to coulomb's law, which pair of charged particles has the lowest potential energy? according to coulomb's law, which pa
Sladkaya [172]

Coulombs law says that the force between any two charges depends on the amount of charges and distance between them. This force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

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

where q_1\hspace{1mm}and\hspace{1mm}q_2 are charges, r is the distance between them and k is the coulomb constant.

case 1:

q_1=-e\\ q_2=+3e\\ r=100pm\\ \Rightarrow F=k\frac{|-e||3e|}{(100pm)^2}=3ke^2\times10^8

case 2

q_1=-e\\ q_2=+2e\\ r=100pm\\ \Rightarrow F=k\frac{|-e||2e|}{(100pm)^2}=2ke^2\times10^8

case 3:

q_1=-e\\ q_2=+e\\ r=100pm\\ \Rightarrow F=k\frac{|-e||e|}{(200pm)^2}=0.25ke^2\times10^8

Comparing the 3 cases:

The maximum potential force according to coulombs law is between -1 charge and +3 charge separated by a distance of 100 pm.

When water change into ice it contracts or expand<br> plz answer fast..
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:Yes, water indeed expands when it changes form from liquid to solid. And this is because water has a property called “hydrogen bonds”, and these bonds occur between each water molecule. But when water is in a liquid form these hydrogen bonds break more easily and occur less frequently. When the temperature drops the kinetic energy also drops, which in turn makes hydrogen bonds form more frequently. So the water molecules form a lattice, which is less dense than regular liquid water.
