Answer:

The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C, but the direction is still to the right.

Explanation:

From coulomb's law, F = Eq

Thus,

F = E₁q₁

F = E₂q₂

Then

E₂q₂ = E₁q₁

E_2 = \frac{E_1q_1}{q_2}

where;

E₂ is the external electric field due to second test charge = ?

E₁ is the external electric field due to first test charge = 4 x 10⁶ N/C

q₁ is the first test charge = 13 mC

q₂ is the second test charge = 23 mC

Substitute in these values in the equation above and calculate E₂.

E_2 = \frac{4*10^6*13}{23} = 2.26 *10^6 \ N/C

The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C when 13 mC test charge is replaced with another test charge of 23 mC.

However, the direction of the external field is still to the right.

13. For an object to appear transparent, what interaction must occur between light waves and the object they hit?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The answer is B

Explanation:

The absorption happens when photons from light hit atoms and molecules, and they vibrate because of that specific interaction. Then the heat ejects from the object in the format of thermal energy.

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
frosja888 [35]

The frequency of the wave has not changed.

In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where v is the wave's speed and \lambda is the wavelength.

Applying the formula:

- In air, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{400 m/s}{2 m}=200 Hz

- underwater, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{1600 m/s}{8 m}=200 Hz

So, the frequency has not changed.

How much work is done by 0.070 m3 of gas, when the volume remains constant with pressure of 63 x 105 Pa?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

W = 0 J

Explanation:

The amount of work done by gas at constant pressure is given by the following formula:

W = P\Delta V

where,

W = Work done by the gas

P = Pressure of the gas

ΔV = Change in the volume of the gas

Since the volume of the gas is constant. Therefore, there is no change in the volume of the gas:

W = P(0\ m^3)\\

<u>W = 0 J</u>
