Answer:

The force between them when they are separated by 12 cm is 5 N.

Explanation:

Distance between two point charges, d = 6 cm

The attractive force between them is 20 N, F = 20 N

Let F' is the force between them when they are separated by 12 cm, d' = 12 cm

The force between point charges is given by the formula as :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

F\propto \dfrac{1}{d^2}........(1)

New force,

F'\propto \dfrac{1}{d'^2}............(2)

From (1) and (2) :

\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{d'^2}{d^2}\\\\\dfrac{20}{F'}=\dfrac{12^2}{6^2}\\\\F'=5\ N

So, the force between them when they are separated by 12 cm is 5 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A centrifuge used in DNA extraction spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm producing a "g-force" on the sample that is 6000 times th
defon

Answer:

A) a = 73.304 rad/s²

B) Δθ = 3665.2 rad

Explanation:

A) From Newton's first equation of motion, we can say that;

a = (ω - ω_o)/t. We are given that the centrifuge spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm.

Let's convert to rad/s = 7000 × 2π/60 = 733.04 rad/s

Thus change in angular velocity = (ω - ω_o) = 733.04 - 0 = 733.04 rad/s

We are given; t = 10 s

Thus;

a = 733.04/10

a = 73.304 rad/s²

B) From Newton's third equation of motion, we can say that;

ω² = ω_o² + 2aΔθ

Where Δθ is angular displacement

Making Δθ the subject;

Δθ = (ω² - ω_o²)/2a

At this point, ω = 0 rad/s while ω_o = 733.04 rad/s

Thus;

Δθ = (0² - 733.04²)/(2 × 73.304)

Δθ = -537347.6416/146.608

Δθ = - 3665.2 rad

We will take the absolute value.

Thus, Δθ = 3665.2 rad

An initially uncharged 3.47-μF capacitor and a 6.43-kΩ resistor are connected in series to a 1.50-V battery that has negligible
harkovskaia [24]

Answer: a) io=233.28 A ( initial current); b) τ=R*C= 22.31 ms; c) 81.7 ms

Explanation:  In order to explain this problem we have to use, the formule for the variation of the current in a RC circuit:

I(t)=io*Exp(-t/τ)

and also we consider that io=V/R=(1.5/6.43*10^3)

=233.28 A

then the time constant for the RC circuit is τ=R*C=6.43*10^3*3.47*10^-6

=22.31 ms

Finally the time to reduce the current to 2.57% of its initial value is obtained from:

I(t)=io*Exp(-t/τ)  for I(t)/io=0.0257=Exp(-t/τ) then

ln(0.0257)*τ =-t

t=-ln(0.0257)*τ=81.68 ms

Hope this was correct! A lot of the answers are already in the article itself and the wording is just different. I suggest now that for information retainment, you read the article again with the correct points in mind and see if you can spot the points where the answers are stated!

Which statement describes a scientific theory?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

A theory changes based on new observations and testing.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is a product of multiple trials and repeated experiments. It usually follows after carefully conducting and testing the validity of the hypothesis.

A scientific theory provides an explanation into how something behaves.

A law just states a finding will not explain it.

Most theories are tenable and can be improved upon when new observations and testing are carried out.
