electric forces can act at a distance.

When Jim walked across the carpeted floor, his body gained electrons from the carpet. The presence of these electrons generated a force between his finger and the doorknob. Since he did not need to actually touch the doorknob for the electrons to be pulled from his finger, this demonstrates that electric forces can act at a distance.

The current in a toaster is 20 amps, and its voltage is 200 volts. What is the resistance in the toaster?
alukav5142 [94]
<span>Ohm's law deals with the relation between voltage and current in an ideal conductor. It states that: Potential difference across a conductor is proportional to the current that pass through it. It is expressed as V=IR. 

V = IR
200 = 20R
R = 10 ohms</span>

What is the approximate value of the gravitational force between a 73 kg astronaut and a 7.1×104 kg spacecraft when they're 89 m
Luden [163]

Answer:

F = 4.3671 * 10^{-8}\ Newtons

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two corpses is given by the following equation:

F = GMm/d^2

Where F is the force, G is the gravitational constant

(G = 6.67408*10^{-11}\ m^3kg^{-1}s^{-2}), M and m are the masses of the corpses and d is the distance between them.

So we have that:

F = 6.67408*10^{-11} * 7.1*10^4 * 73/89^2

F = 4.3671 * 10^{-8}\ Newtons

On a sunny summer day, why does a white car with a light-colored interior stay cooler than a black car with a dark-colored inter
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: Solar radiation reflects off the lighter colours, away from the car, thus keeping the car cool

Explanation: This is because lighter colors reflect a good amount of radiation while darker colors absorb it. Just like, Antarctica hasn't completely melted because it reflects a lot of the heat that is acting upon it. Or, you notice that you get hotter when you wear a black shirt opposed to a white one.
