bazaltina [42]3 years ago

Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory.

Explanation:

  • Similarities

1) The resultant force is along the line that joins both charges or both masses (assuming both objects can be represented as points)

2) Both type of forces obey  Newton's 3rd law.

3) Both are proportional to the product of the property that is affected by the force (charges and masses)

4) Both obey an inverse - square law (consequence of our universe being three-dimensional)

  • Differences

1) Main difference, is that while the gravitational force is always attractive, the electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive, as there are two types of charges, which attract each other being of different type, and repel each other if they are of the same type.

2) It  is possible, artificially, to block the influence of the electrostatic force, shielding a room, for instance, which is not possible for the gravitational force.

Jon's bathtub is rectangular and its base is 18 ft2. (a) How fast is the water level rising if Jon is filling the tub at a rate
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The water level in the bath tub is rising at a rate of 0.0111 ft/s

Explanation:

Volume of the bath tub = (Area of base) × (height)

Area of base = 18 ft² (constant)

Height = h (variable)

V = 18h

(dV/dt) = 18 (dh/dt)

If (dV/dt) = 0.2 ft³/s

0.2 = 18 (dh/dt)

(dh/dt) = (0.2/18)

(dh/dt) = 0.0111 ft/s

Hope this Helps!!!

Two states of matter are described below. State A: Cannot be compressed and retains its shape State B: Highly compressible Which
telo118 [61]

Answer:

State A = piece of metal; State B = air

Explanation:

For the three main states of matter here's how it breaks down.

Solid - Cannot be compressed and retains its shape

Liquid - Cannot be compressed and does not retain its shape

Gas - Compressible and does not retain its shape.

Knowing this State A has to be solid.  Only one of the options has A as a solid, so that's the answer.   Worth knowing state B is a gas though, only one compressible, just like solid is the only one that retains its shape.
