Answer: 2.37N

Explanation:

According to coulombs law which states that the force of attraction (F) between two charges (q1 and q2) is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) between them. Mathematically,

F = kq1q2/r²

For the first two charges that are sitting 1.5 m apart with a force of 3 N between them, we have

3 = kq1q2/1.5²

3 = kq1q2/2.25

Kq1q2= 6.75... (1)

If the charges are now moved farther apart 2.25 m and one of the charges is increased by a factor of 4. The formula becomes

F2 = k(4q1)q2/2.25² (q1 has been increased by factor of 4)

k(4q1)q2 = 5.06F2 ... (2)

Dividing 2 by 1 we have

k(4q1)q2/kq1q2 = 5.06F2/3

4 = 5.06F2/3

5.06F2 = 12

F2= 12/5.06

F2 = 2.37N

Therefore the magnitude of the new force between the two charges is 2.37N

Ten identical steel wires have equal lengths L and equal "spring constants" k. The Young's modulus of each wire is Y. The wires
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress to the longitudinal strain.

Its unit is N/m².

The formula for the Young's modulus is given by

Y=\frac{F \times L}{A\times \delta L}

where, F is the force applied on a rod, L is the initial length of the rod, ΔL is the change in length of the rod as the force is applied, A is the area of crossection of the rod.

It is the property of material of solid. So, when the 10 wires are co joined together to form a new wire of length 10 L, the material remains same so the young' modulus remains same.

What are Prevailing Westerlies? a Calm area with rising air b Wind blowing West to East away from horse latitudes c Wind blowing
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

b Wind blowing West to East away from horse latitudes

Explanation: prevailing Westerlies are winds which blows away from the horse latitudes, this type of wind blow towards the poles between latitude 30 degrees to latitude 60degrees.

Prevailing Westerlies are known to be strongest in the winter months in the and weakest in the summer months

They are also very strong when the pressures are low over the poles and also very weak when the pressures are high over the poles.

You're the first person to visit Mars and you've just met a group of Martian schoolchildren. They are playing street hockey with
Liula [17]

Answer: (B) your mass is essentially unchanged but your weight is less than on Earth.

Explanation:

Well, firstly we have to explain the difference between the concepts of mass and weight:

<u>-Mass</u> m is the amount of matter that exists in a body, which only depends on the quantity and type of particles within it. This means mass is an intrinsic property of each body and <u>remains the same regardless of where the body is located.  </u>

<u>-Weight</u> W is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object and is directly proportional to the product of the mass of the body by the acceleration due gravity g in that place and is mathematically expressed as:  

W=m.g  

So, according to this explanation and since the Earth and Mars have different values ​​of acceleration due gravity (in fact, Mar's g is less than Earth's), <u>your weight has changed, but not your mass.</u>
