Answer:

a) 9.0

Explanation:

The force between two point charges, obeys Coulomb's Law, which can be written as follows:

F =\frac{k*q1*q2}{(r12)^{2} }

As it  can be seen, if the separation between the charges remains the same, the new value of the force will be directly proportional to the product of the charges.

If both charges are tripled, the mutual force between them will be changed in a factor equal to 3.0*3.0 = 9.0

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be increased in order to increase the intensity by a factor of 9?a. 9 b. 2 c.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

intensity\ \alpha \ (Amplitude)^2

increase the intensity by factor of 9

    I₁ = I₀

    I₂ = 9 I₀

now,

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{A_1^2}{A_2^2}

\dfrac{I_0}{9I_0}=(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2

(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2=\dfrac{1}{9}

\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{1}{3}

      A₂ = 3 A₁

hence, amplitude increase with the factor of 3

so, the correct answer is option D

Of the three forces acting on the rock as it slides down the bowl, which (if any) are constant and which are not? explain.
choli [55]

Answer

Hi,

The forces are; weight (gravity), Normal/centripetal force and friction. Force due to gravity is constant where as friction and centripetal are not.

Explanation

Weight is constant, given by the force of gravity on the object. The centripetal force is a function of the angles occurring between the velocity vector and the weight vector that is at right angle with the perpendicular line drawn from the surface. Friction is a function of the centripetal force thus it also varies.

Hope this helps!

If a scuba diver fills his lungs to full capacity of 5.5 L when 10 m below the surface, to what volume would his lungs expand if
umka21 [38]

Answer:

The volume at the surface is 10.97 L.

Explanation:

Given that,

Volume = 5.5 L

Height = 10 m

Density of sea water= 1025 kg/m³

We need to calculate the pressure at that point

Using formula of pressure

P'=P+\rho gh

Put the value into the formula

P'=1.01\times10^{5}+1025\times9.8\times10

P'=201450\ Pa

We need to calculate the volume at the surface

Using equation of ideal gas

PV= RT

So, for both condition

PV=P'V'

Put the value into the formula

V=\dfrac{201450\times5.5}{1.01\times10^{5}}

V=10.97\ L

Hence, The volume at the surface is 10.97 L.

Consider Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: FG= G (m1 m2)/d2 .
bixtya [17]

Answer:

C

Mass is directly proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Mass increases, then the Force of Gravity increases; however, Distance is indirectly (or inversely) proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Distance increases, then the Force of Gravity decreases.

Explanation:

The formula for the force of gravity between two objects is

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{d^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

d is the separation between the two objects

We notice the  following:

- F is directly proportional to the masses, F\propto m_1, m_2. This means that if one of the masses increases, then the force between them, F, increases in a proportional way

- F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, F\propto \frac{1}{d^2}. This means that if the distance between the two objects is increased, the force between them will decrease, and vice-versa.

So, the correct answer is

C

Mass is directly proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Mass increases, then the Force of Gravity increases; however, Distance is indirectly (or inversely) proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Distance increases, then the Force of Gravity decreases.
