Light pollution is influence of the light on earth (for example, street lighting) which interrupt observations. For example, if you are in a street during the night and street lights are turned on you won't see stars, but if lighting is turned off or if you go out of town you will see stars above.

In a thundercloud there may be an electric charge of +40 C near the top of the cloud and -40 C near the bottom of the cloud. The
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Electric force, F=-3.59\times 10^6\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric charge 1, q_1=+40\ C

Electric charge 2, q_2=-40\ C

Distance, d=2\ km=2\times 10^3\ m

To find,

The electric force between these two sets of charges.

Solution,

There exists a force between two electric charges and this force is called electrostatic force. It is equal to the product of electric charged divided by square of distance between them.

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

k is the electrostatic constant

F=8.99\times 10^9\times \dfrac{40\times (-40)}{(2\times 10^3)^2}

F=-3.59\times 10^6\ N

So, the electric force between these two sets of charges is -3.59\times 10^6\ N.

A cyclist maintains a constant velocity of 6.1 m/s headed away from point A. At some initial time, the cyclist is 242 m from poi
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

553.1m

Explanation:

When an object moves at constant velocity we can express this movement like V=x/t, where V is the velocity, x is the displacement and t is the time spent on it.

In that way, the expression x=V.t give us the displacement from t=0s until t=51s, but we have to sum the initial distance from the point A.

x=242m +V.t = 242m + (6.1m/s x 51s) = 553.1m

Which statement about gravity is true?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Out of the given options, ‘it is described as a fundamental force and therefore does not depend on other forces’ is the true statement about gravity.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

As we all know that there are four fundamental forces existing in the universe- Electromagnetic force, strong forces, weak forces and the gravitational force.

These are the forces that don’t depend on any other physical force to draw a considerable impact on the physical objects. The gravitational force can be defined as,

                     F=G \times \frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where,

G = Gravitational Constant

m_{1} , m_{2} = Masses of two substances under consideration

R = distance between the two substances.

Looking upon the formula of gravitational force we can easily estimate that the gravitational force relies on the mass of substances and the relative distance between them. There is no factor than the air friction that hinders the gravitational force and that too in a negligible amount.
