Answer:

(B) Vertically upward

Explanation:

r = Side of triangle = 14 cm

q = Charge = -2.5 nC

Electrical force is given by

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times (2.5\times 10^{-9})^2}{0.14^2}\\\Rightarrow F=2.86671\times 10^{-6}\ N

For the top charge

Net force on both charges is given by

F_n=2Fcos\theta\\\Rightarrow F_n=2\times 2.86671\times 10^{-6}\times cos30\\\Rightarrow F_n=4.96529\times 10^{-6}\ N

The net force acting on the top charge is 4.96529\times 10^{-6}\ N

Here the forces are symmetrical hence, the net force is along +y axis i.e., upward

A sound wave propagates through a region filled with an ideal gas at constant temperature T. It approaches an acoustically perme
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The answer is <em>e.2</em>

Explanation:

We should make use of Snell's refractive law. The arriving wave has a certain velocity at T in a medium, then instantly it reaches a medium (same composition) at T' where velocity would either decrease or increase.

When the incidence angle is 30 °, and we want to make the refraction angle 90 ° such that no sound passes through the barrier (this would be named total internal refraction), so we want the second medium to be "faster" than in the first.

Match the environmental remedlation method to Its description.
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

1. Soil vapor extraction  - 3

2. Air sparging  - 1

3. bioventing  - 4

4. Natural attenuation -2

Explanation:

Soil vapor extraction - Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is the method in which  perforated pipes are used into the soil and air is injected through the pipes. Contamination in soil then removed through perforation in pipes and disposed into an off-gas treatment unit.

Air sparging  - In air sparging process air is injected in bubble form that remediates groundwater by volatilizing contaminants and enhancing biodegradation.

Bioventing  - In bioinventing process low air flow rates are used that provide enough oxygen to sustain microbial activity in the soil and remove other contamination form the soil.

Natural attenuation - Natural attenuation is a natural process of  environmental remediation which reduce the toxicity, mass, or concentration of contaminants in soil without human intervention.

Which statement is an example of the law of conservation of energy
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. This energy is then used to rotate the turbine of a generator to produce electricity.
