A.
Both will be stopped by the same amount of force acting against them.



B.
The one with less mass takes more force to stop.



C.

A and D are definitely wrong because the two rocks have different masses, so it leaves us with B and C. The most logical answer to the question is
C <span>The one with greater mass takes more force to stop.

Two particles with oppositely signed charges are held a fixed distance apart. The charges are equal in magnitude and they exert
damaskus [11]

Answer:

the force will decrease to 3/4 of its original value.

Explanation:

The initial electric force between the two charges is:

F = k \frac{q\cdot q}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the magnitude of each charge

r is their separation

Later, half of one charge is transferred to the other charge; this means that one charge will have a charge of

q+\frac{q}{2}=\frac{3}{2}q

while the other charge will be

q-\frac{q}{2}=\frac{q}{2}

So, the new force will be

F' = k \frac{(\frac{q}{2})\cdot (\frac{3}{2}q)}{r^2}=\frac{3}{4} (k\frac{q\cdot q}{r^2})=\frac{3}{4}F

So, the force will decrease to 3/4 of its original value.

A laser is shone through a double slit and a particular interference pattern is observed on a screen some distance away. If the
Grace [21]

If the separation between the openings in a laser is increased, then the distance between the interference fringes decreases

<h3>What is Interference fringe ?</h3>

Interference fringe refers to bands caused by different lights which can be found in phase or not each other.

  • Distances between laser fringes are short which is due to light wavelength.
  • The interference fringes can be estimated by knowing slit separation and wavelength.

In conclusion, if the separation between the openings in a laser is increased, then the distance between the interference fringe decreases

trapecia [35]

Answer:

C. Horizontal component of velocity

Explanation:

Object in motion stays in motion,

nothing works against its motion in the horizontal direction, unlike in the vertical direction, gravity pulls object down.
