Answer:

The essential characteristics of an object in equilibrium is acceleration of the object must be zero.

Explanation:

Equilibrium: An object acted upon by several forces is said to be in equilibrium if it does no it moves or rotate. Equilibrium can be defined as the state of stability of an object.

Condition for equilibrium

(i) The resultant force acting on the object must me equal to zero.

(ii) The sum of moment acting on the object must be equal to zero.

But.

F = ma..................... Equation 1

Where F = net force , m = mass, a = acceleration.

from the equation above,

For F = 0 N, a must be equal to zero.

<em>From the above, the essential characteristics of an object in equilibrium is acceleration must be zero</em>

Explain how the potential energy of two charged particles depends on the distance between the charged particles and on the magni

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

According to Coulomb's Law, the potential energy of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between the charges

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's Law, the potential energy of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between the charges. Since the potential energy of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges, its magnitude increases as the charges of the particles increases. For like charges, the potential energy is positive(the product of the two alike charges must be positive) and since potential energy is inversely proportional to the distance between the charges therefore it decreases as the particles get farther apart . For opposite charges, the potential energy is negative(the product of the two opposite charges must be negative) and since potential energy is inversely proportional to the distance between the two charges, it becomes more negative as the particles get closer together.

The speed of sound at temperature of________in the air is 360m/s.

Aleks04 [339]

Vo= 331+0.6T

360=331+0.6T

360-331=0.6T

29=0.6T

0.6T/29

T=6/290 so change it to simplest form and us formulas good luck

Sapting Leng You have a string with a mass of 13.7 q. You stretch the string with a force of 8.39 N, giving it a length of 1.87

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

a) $\lambda=0.935\ \textup{m}$

b) $f=36.19\approx 36\ \textup{Hz}$

Explanation:

Given:

String vibrates transversely fourth dynamic, thus n = 4

mass of the string, m = 13.7 g = 13.7 × 10⁻¹³ kg

Tension in the string, T = 8.39 N

Length of the string, L = 1.87 m

a) we know

$L= n\frac{\lambda}{2}$

where,

$\lambda$ = wavelength

on substituting the values, we get

$1.87= 4\times \frac{\lambda}{2}$

$\lambda=0.935\ \textup{m}$

b) Speed of the wave (v) in the string is given as:

$v =f\lambda$

also,

$v=\sqrt\frac{T}{(\frac{m}{L})}$

equating both the formula for 'v' we get,

$f\lambda=\sqrt\frac{T}{(\frac{m}{L})}$

on substituting the values, we get

$f\times 0.935=\sqrt\frac{8.39}{(\frac{13.7\times 10^{3}}{1.87})}$

$f=\frac{33.84}{0.935}$

$f=36.19\approx 36\ \textup{Hz}$

If a puddle of water is frozen, do the particles in the ice have kinetic energy? Explain.

TEA [102]

They have some but not very much, the particles in the ice are still vibrating just not as much as in water. the only time a substance would have 0 kinetic energy is when that substance is at 0 degrees kelvin(absolute zero) so far no place in the universe has been recorded at absolute zero though
