No, because pure gold has a higher density than water, not allowing it to float.

Two identical charges, 2 m apart, exert forces of magnitude 4 N on each other. The value of each charge is: 1. 9 × 105 C 2. 4.2

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The value of each charge is 4.22 x 10⁻⁵ C

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two identical charges, d = 2 m

the force of repulsion between these two charges, F = 4N

Apply Coulomb's law;

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\but \ q_1 =q_2,then \ let \ q_1 =q_2 = q\\\\F = \frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\\\q^2 = \frac{Fr^2}{k}\\\\q^2 = \frac{4*2^2}{9*10^9} \\\\q ^2 = 1.7778*10^{-9}\\\\q = \sqrt{1.7778*10^{-9}}\\\\q =4.22 *10^{-5} C\\\\q= q_1=q_2= 4.22 *10^{-5} C$

Therefore, the value of each charge is 4.22 x 10⁻⁵ C

Which of the following statements describes nucleons?

Yuliya22 [10]

The correct answer is D.

A nucleon<span> is one of either of the two types of subatomic particles (neutrons and protons) which are located in the nucleus of atoms.
</span>

The total number of nucleon in the nucleus of an atom gives you an idea about the mass of that atom. In fact, one may refer mass number as nucleon number.

Simply put, nucleons are the particles that make nucleus of an atom and are held up together inside the nucleus due to nuclear force.
