1) Halving the distance (i.s., decreasing by a factor of two) between two charged objects will cause the electrical force betwee

n them to be ___ the initial force
Physics

Vedmedyk [2.9K]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

For an electric force, F the formula:

F = kQq/r^2

Given:

r2 = 1/2 × r1

F1 × r1 = k

F1 × r1 = F2 × r2

F2 = (F1 × r1^2)/(0.5 × r1)^2

= (F1 × r1^2)/0.25r1^2

= 4 × F1.

Why might video games increase creativity while the use of cell phones, the internet, or computers do not?
taurus [48]

Explanation:

Video games are developed around a structure that is unique from your usual media, where there is a sense purpose in mind when playing a game, as decided by the player, and it allows them to explore creative options in order to solve scenarios, depending on the genre. In the use of phones, internet, or computers, this structure is more rare and diverse from video games, which does not lean more toward a creative purpose to build from. That idea gives people the inspiration and discover skills they never knew they even had.

the gas in a balloon has P=100000 pa and v=0.0279 m^3. if the pressure increases to 120000 pa at constant temperature, what is t
mash [69]

Answer:

New volume of the baloon is 0.02325m^3

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to know the ideal gas law, which says:

p•V = n•R•T

p is pressure, V is volume, n is amount of substance (in moles), R is constant value and T is temperature.

Since it's stated that n and T are constant, and we know that R is a constant too, that means that p•V = constant value. Basically, that means that p1•V1 (pressure and volume before the pressure increase) equals to p2•V2 (pressure and volume after the pressure increase).

That means that:

100000 Pa • 0.0279 m^3 = 120000 Pa • V2. Next, V2= 100000•0.0279/120000. So, V2=0.02325m^3.

Explain the origin of the magnitude designation for determining the brightness of stars. Why does it seem to go backward, with s
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Hipparchus was an ancient Greek who classified stars based on the brightness in 129 B.C. He grouped the brightest stars and ranked them 1 (first magnitude) and dimmest stars as 6 (sixth magnitude). Thus, the smaller numbers indicated brighter stars. Now, the scale extends in negative axis as well. More the negative number, brighter is the star. For example, Sun has magnitude -26.74.

This the apparent magnitude which means the classification is based on the brightness of the star as it appears from the Earth.

A sailboat is underway in the fog. what sound signal should you hear?
Rufina [12.5K]
The conventional signal used by sailboats in conditions of reduced visibility such as heavy fog is one long blast followed by two short blasts.

The blasts help other boat operators locate one another's vessel in a condition where it is not easy to see. This signal is repeated in order to not only let others know of the vessel's position, but also help them know which way it is traveling. For example, if the blasts start to become distant, then the sailboat is travelling away from you.

Name three types of stress that a force can cause inside an object?
Anton [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Stress is the force applied to a rock and may cause deformation. The three main types of stress are typical of the three types of plate boundaries: compression at convergent boundaries, tension at divergent boundaries, and shear at transform boundaries.
