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

telo118 [61]
  • Force=12N
  • Work=9J

\\ \sf\longmapsto W=Fd

\\ \sf\longmapsto d=\dfrac{W}{F}

\\ \sf\longmapsto d=\dfrac{9}{12}=0.72m

The aluminum atom______electrons to form an ion.<br> The ion that is formed is______.
Alchen [17]

The aluminum atom_loses_____electrons to form an ion.

The ion that is formed is_Al³⁺_____.

aluminium has the electronic configuration as 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹

from the electronic configuration , we see that aluminium can attain stability by losing 3 electrons from outer shell.

after losing 3 electrons , the ion formed is given as Al³⁺

hence the correct options to fill in the blanks are lose  and Al³⁺

There are many ways to lose weight, but a sustainable plan generally involves behavior modification related to diet and exercise
Anna007 [38]

The answer is adequate nutrition, regular physical activity, and practical ways to reduce calories while retaining important nutrients.

Explanation:

Despite that adequate nutrition, regular physical activity, and practical ways to reduce calories while retaining important nutrients is one of the best strategy to reducing weight, most time it is very difficult for those that want to reduce or control their weight to discipline themselves enough to follow these routine. But one an individual that want to loose weight or live a healthy lifestyle is able to follow these procedures he/she will surely loose weight.
