Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field due to a point charge Q at a point at distance d is given by the relation

E = \frac{K\times Q}{d^2}

Since Q1 and Q2 are of the same magnitude and distance , so they will create eletric field of same magnitude. Similarly field due to rest of the charges will also be same.

The charges are situated on the corners of a square in such a way that

equal charges of Q1 and Q3 are situated on the diametrically  opposite corners of the square. Fields due to these two charges will be equal and opposite in direction. Therefore net field due to these two  charges will be zero.  

On the same ground, we can say that field due to Q2 and Q4 at the centre will be equal and opposite and therefore they will cancel out each other. Net field at the centre will be zero

Overall, net field due to all the four charges will be zero

A radio station's channel, such as 100.7 fm or 92.3 fm, is actually its frequency in megahertz (mhz), where 1mhz=106 hz and 1hz=
AURORKA [14]
The frequency of the radio station is
f=88.7 fm= 88.7 MHz = 88.7 \cdot 10^6 Hz

For radio waves (which are electromagnetic waves), the relationship between frequency f and wavelength \lambda is
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
where c is the speed of light. Substituting the frequency of the radio station, we find the wavelength:
\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{88.7 \cdot 10^6 Hz}=3.38 m

A system initially has an internal energy U of 504 J. It undergoes a process during which it releases 111 J of heat energy to th
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

615 J

Explanation:

internal energy (U) = 504 J

heat lost (q) = 111 J = - 111 J (negative sign is because heat is lost)

work done = 222 J

what is the final energy in the system

total energy = final energy - initial energy

final energy = total energy + initial energy

where

initial energy = 504 J

total energy = 222 - 111 = 111 J

final energy = 504 + 111 = 615 J

B. Why does the moon revolve around the earth? Give<br>reason.[2]​
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The moon revolves around Earth because Earth is larger than the moon, so it is heavier, and has a greater gravitational pull. The plane of the moon's orbit is very close to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. This is why planets revolve around the Sun, because it is larger, so therefore it has a greater gravitational pull.
