The gravitational force between the charged constituents of the atom is negligible compared with the electric force between them

. The electric force is so strong, however, that any net charge on an object quickly attracts nearby opposite charges, neutralizing the object. As a result, gravity plays a greater role in the mechanics of moving objects in everyday life. QUESTION If the distance between two charges is doubled, by what factor is the magnitude of the electric force changed?

Answer: The initial force is reduced a factor 1/4 when the separation between charge is doubled

Explanation: As it well known the electric force between two charges is given by:

Finitial=k*q1*q2/d^2 where d is the distance between charges and k is a constant

if the distance is doubled this means 2*dinitial thus the new force is equal to F initial* 1/4

Explain why sugar was used in this experiment. How does the experiment relate to a baker adding yeast to bread to make it rise?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Yeast can use oxygen to release the energy from sugar (like you can) in the process called "respiration". ... So, the more sugar there is, the more active the yeast will be and the faster its growth (up to a certain point - even yeast cannot grow in very strong sugar - such as honey).

When you mix two gases what can you predict about the conservation of volume in this case?
o-na [289]
Amagat's law of additive volumes states that we can simply add up the individual volumes of each gas (provided they are at the same temperature and pressure) to get the total volume of the mixture. Conservation of volume is an acceptable assumption for gases (but not always for liquid mixtures). This works for gases since the molecules are very small and only take up a minimal amount of space in a gas.
