The ice cubes were floating in water because they are less dense than liquid water. When water is frozen, a structure that is crystalline is formed that is held by hydrogen bonding. Due to the orientation of these bonds, the moleules would push far away from each other causing it to have a bigger volume and a lower density.

If each of the charges is increased by two times and the distance between them is also increased by two times, the electromagnet
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: The force does not change.

Explanation:

The force between two charges q₁ and q₂ is:

F = k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2

where:

k is a constant.

r is the distance between the charges.

Now, if we increase the charge of each particle two times, then the new charges will be: 2*q₁ and 2*q₂.

If we also increase the distance between the charges two times, the new distance will be 2*r

Then the new force between them is:

F = k*(2*q₁*2*q₂)/(2*r)^2 = k*(4*q₁*q₂)/(4*r^2) = (4/4)*k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2 = k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2

This is exactly the same as we had at the beginning, then we can conclude that if we increase each of the charges two times and the distance between the charges two times, the force between the charges does not change.

Coherent light with wavelength 610 nm passes through two very narrow slits, and theinterference pattern is observed on a screen
andriy [413]

Answer:

= 1220 nm

= 1.22 μm

Explanation:

given data:

wavelength \lambda = 610 nm = 610\times  10 ^{-9} m

distance of screen from slits D = 3 m

1st order bright fringe is 4.84 mm

condition for 1 st bright is

d sin \theta =\lambda     ---( 1)

andtan \theta = \frac{y}{ D}

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{(y }{D})

= 0.0924 degrees

plug theta value in equation 1 we get

d sin ( 0.0924) = 610 \times 10 ^{-9}

d = 3.78\times 10^{-4} m

condition for 1 st dark fringe

d sin \theta =\frac{λ'}{2}

\lambda '= 2 d sin\theta

= 2λ    since from eq (1)

= 1220 nm

= 1.22 μm

The reaction of two positively charged objects that are near each other
lilavasa [31]

The objects will repel.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Charges are of two types - like and unlike. They are like charges if both are positive or if both are negative. They are unlike charges if one is positive and the other is negative.
  • When two objects of positive charge are near each other, they both have like charges.
  • When two like charges are near each other, they will repel each other.
  • When two dislike charges are near each other, they will attract each other.

If the light shining on the metal becomes brighter, will the number of electrons being emitted per second (the photo-current)inc
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The given statement is correct.

When the light becomes brighter then the electron emitted per second increases.

when light is incident on the metal it delivers energy in the form of small energy packets.

these small energy packets is known as photons.

More the intensity of light  more the photon will be emitted.

Electron gain kinetic energy after absorbing energy from the photon.
