-- Take a straight ruler.

-- Lay it down with the 'zero' mark at the start point.

-- Rotate it around the start point until the end point is also touching the edge of the ruler.

-- From the marks on the ruler, read the straight-line distance from the start point to the end point.

-- Without moving the ruler, observe and write down the DIRECTION from the start point to the end point.

-- The Displacement is the straight-line distance and direction from the start point to the end point.

How will the electrostatic force between two electric charges change if the first charge is doubled and the second charge is onl

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

B) $\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

The electric force between charges can be determined by;

F = $\frac{kq_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2} }$

Where: F is the force, k is the Coulomb's constant, $q_{1}$ is the value of the first charge, $q_{2}$ is the value of the second charge, r is the distance between the centers of the charges.

Let the original charge be represented by q, so that;

$q_{1}$ = 2q

$q_{2}$ = $\frac{q}{3}$

So that,

F = $q_{1}$ $q_{2}$ x $\frac{k}{r^{2} }$

= 2q x $\frac{q}{3}$ x $\frac{k}{r^{2} }$

= $\frac{2q^{2} }{3}$ x $\frac{k}{r^{2} }$

= $\frac{2}{3}$ x $\frac{kq}{r^{2} }$

F = $\frac{2}{3}$ x $\frac{kq}{r^{2} }$

The electric force between the given charges would change by $\frac{2}{3}$ .

Two forces and are applied to an object whose mass is 13.3 kg. The larger force is . When both forces point due east, the object

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, It's important to remember F = ma, and in this problem m = 13.3 kg

This can be reduced to a simple system of equations problem. Now if they are both going the same way then we add them, while if they are going the opposite way we subtract them. So let's call them F1 and F2, with F1 arger than F2. Now, When we add them together F1+F2 = (.723 m/s^2)*13.3kg and then when we subtract them, and have the larger one pushing toward the east, let's call F1 the larger one, F1-F2 = (.493 m/s^2)*13.3kg.

Can you solve this system of equations seeing them like this, or do you need more help?

<h2>So, the correct answers are:</h2>

Travels in longitudinal waves

Travels most slowly through a gas

Speeds up when temperature is increased

Is caused by vibration

Explanation for correct answers:

Yes, it does travel in longitudinal waves

Yes, sounds weird, but travels faster in the water

Yes, does speed up when temperature is increased

And yes, Is caused by vibration.

<h2>Wrong answer is:</h2>

Can travel through a vacuum

Explanation for wrong answer:

actually, in space, there is NO sound, because there are no particals for the sound to vibrate with, there's just empty SPACE.

Inertia increases as an object's _________ increases.

sammy [17]

Answer:

A. Mass

Explanation:

Inertia of an object is the resistance of the object to any change in its state of motion: it means that if an object is at rest, it tends to stay at rest for inertia (unless a net force acts on it), and if it is moving, it tends to continue moving with the same velocity, for inertia.

The inertia also describes how difficult it is to stop/accelerate an object, and it is directly proportional to the mass of the object: in fact, the larger the mass of an object, the more difficult it is to change its state of motion, and this means it has greater inertia.
