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

Black_prince [1.1K]
We are given with a volume of a cube equal to 512 cm3. In this case, when the volume is expressed to cubic meters, the volume will still stay the same but the number of cubic units would decrease. a centimeter is a smaller unit than a meter, hence the value given should be divided by 1 million to express to m3.

In which one(s) of the following situations will there be an INCREASE in Kinetic Energy? Group of answer choices A block slides
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The Kinetic Energy INCREASE in the following situations:

a)A block slides down a frictionless incline:

e)A merry go round rotates faster due to the push by a person.

Explanation:

The energy kinetics is proportional to the square of the velocity:

E_k=1/2*mv^2

We study the cases:

a)A block slides down a frictionless incline:

The gravity made a positive work and the box get a extra velocity, then the kinetics energy INCREASE

b)A box is pulled across a rough floor at constant speed:

The magnitude of the velocity does not change, so the kinetics energy does not change as well

c)A stone at the end of a string is whirled in a horizontal circle at constant speed:

The magnitude of the velocity does not change, so the kinetics energy does not change as well

d)A projectile approaches its maximum height:

If the projectile approaches its maximum height, its velocity approaches to zero. Then the kinetics Energy DECREASE

e)A merry go round rotates faster due to the push by a person.

Thanks to the push, the magnitude of the velocity INCREASE, so the kinetics energy INCREASE as well

A sample of gas in a syringe releases heat to its surroundings while the
blsea [12.9K]

Answer: b

Explanation:

When heat is released by the system i.e. system loses heat. So, we take it as negative -Q

When the work is done on the system then it is considered as negative work on the system i.e. -W  

In this case, the plunger is pulled out, and work is done on the system. So, we take work as negative work -W

Correct option is b

A 3.0-kg brick rests on a perfectly smooth ramp inclined at 34° above the horizontal. The brick is kept from sliding down the pl
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

d=0.137 m ⇒13.7 cm

Explanation:

Given data

m (Mass)=3.0 kg

α(incline) =34°

Spring Constant (force constant)=120 N/m

d (distance)=?

Solution

F=mg

F=(3.0)(9.8)

F=29.4 N

As we also know that

Force parallel to the incline=FSinα

F=29.4×Sin(34)

F=16.44 N

d(distance)=F/Spring Constant

d(distance)=16.44/120

d(distance)=0.137 m ⇒13.7 cm

Identify two potential improvements to the opal extraction process and explain how these improvements could minimize harm to the
Orlov [11]

Answer

• Improving the environmental performances

• Developing Green Mining technology

Explanation

The effect to the environment caused by opal mining are; impact on soils and geology, clearing of native vegetation disrupting flora and fauna, change in land use and effects of air quality.

Opal mining is currently examining environmental impacts and adopting measures that mitigate the impacts making the process less destructive to the environment.

With the current commitment to sustainability, opal companies are investing funds for Green Mining as a positive way to impact the environment before and after mining.
