Answer:

3.2\cdot 10^{-8} N

Explanation:

The inital electrostatic force between the two spheres is given by:

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

where

F=8\cdot 10^{-9} N is the initial force

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges on the two spheres

r is the distance between the two spheres

The problem tells us that the two spheres are moved from a distance of r=20 cm to a distance of r'=10 cm. So we have

r'=\frac{r}{2}

Therefore, the new electrostatic force will be

F'=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(r')^2}=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(r/2)^2}=4k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}=4F

So the force has increased by a factor 4. By using F=8\cdot 10^{-9} N, we find

F'=4(8\cdot 10^{-9} N)=3.2\cdot 10^{-8} N

On a Vernier Caliper, how do you know which mark to use on the very top scale?
madreJ [45]

<u>Answer</u>

To know where it starts we look where the zero mark of the vernier scale starts. The make just before reaching where the zero mark is marks the value to use<em>. </em>


<u>Explanation</u>

A vernier caliper is an instrument that is used to measure the diameter of small circular objects such as diameter of a wires, thickness of an iron sheet.

The objects to be measured is place between the jaws of the calipers.

The vernier scale has two scales, the vernier scale and the main scale which is the very top scale.<em> To know where it starts we look where the zero mark of the vernier scale starts. The make just before reaching where the zero mark is marks the value to use. </em>

Can someone help me?!!!!!

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The first option,  the walker traveled 360m more than the actual distance between the start and the end points.

Why?

Since each block is 180 m long, we need to calculate the vertical and the horizontal distance, in order to calculate how farther did the travel walk between the start and the end points (displacement).

So, calculating we have:

Traveler:

Distance=NorthCoveredDistance+EastCoveredDistance

Distance=4*180m+3*180m=720m+540m=1260m

Actual distance between the start and the end point (displacement):

ActualDistance=\sqrt{NorthDistance+EastDistance}\\\\ActualDistance=\sqrt{NorthDistance^{2} +EastDistance^{2}}\\\\ActualDistance=\sqrt{(720m)^{2} +(540m)^{2}}\\\\ActualDistance=\sqrt{518400m^{2} +291600m^{2}}\\\\ActualDistance=\sqrt{810000m^{2}}=900m

Now, to calculate how much farter did the traveler walk, we need to use the following equation:

DistanceDifference=WalkerCoveredDistance-ActualDistance\\\\DistanceDifference=1260m-900m=360m

Therefore, we have that distance differnce between the distance covered by the walker and the actual distance is 360m.

Hence, we have that the walker traveled 360m more than the actual distance between the start point and the end point.

Have a nice day!

Match the property of a sound wave to the correct definition. A. amplitude . B. frequency  . C. period . D. pitch  E. loudness 
Maru [420]

Amplitude: How dense the medium is in the compression part of the wave, and how empty the rarefied area is.

Frequency: The number of wavelengths that pass a position in 1 second.

loudness: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the amplitude of the sound wave.

Period: The amount of time that it takes one wavelength to pass by a position.

Pitch: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the frequency of the sound wave.
