Answer: The distance between the charges is r=0.44m

Explanation

Step one

Using the formula

F = (k q1*q2) /r²

F = electric force

k = Coulomb constant

q1, q2 = charges

r = distance of separation

Step two

Given data

F=179N

q1 and q2=+68.0 µC and +56.0 µC

k=8.98755 × 10^9 N

r=?

Step three

Inputting our values we have

179=8.9875×10^9(68*10^-6*56*10^-6)/r²

179=(8.9875*10^9*3.8*10^-9)r²

179=34.15/r²

Make r subject of formula we have

r²=34.15/179

r²=0.190

r= √0.190

r=0.44m

Coulomb's law states that: The magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Answer:  

r  = 0.437m≈0.4m

 

Explanation:

F= \frac{KQq}{r²}

Where K= 8.98755 × 109 N · m2 /C 2

           F=  179 N

           Q= +68.0 µC= 68.0 × 10^{-6}C

           q=  +56.0 µC= 56.0 × 10^{-6}C

           r= ?

To find r, make r the subject of the formula.

F= \frac{KQq}{r²}

r²= \frac{KQq}{F}

r= \sqrt{} \frac{KQq}{F}  

Then input the values,

r  = \sqrt{} \frac{(8.98755 X 10^{9} )(68.0 X 10^{-6} )(56.0 X 10^{-6} ) }{179}

   =  \sqrt{} \frac{34224.5904 X 10^{9-12} }{179}  

  =  \sqrt{191.1988 X 10^{-3}  

  = 0.437m≈0.4m

Statement that combines energy and mass into one law
inysia [295]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation

Explanation:

It states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as the system's mass cannot change, so quantity can neither be added nor be removed.

A low resistance light bulb and a high resistance light bulb are connected in parallel with each other. Which bulb is brighter i
sweet [91]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The bulb with low resistance will be brighter.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The brightness of a bulb is a function of both the voltage across the bulb and current flowing through the bulb. The higher the voltage, the higher the current. Hence the brighter the bulb.

Now, according to the question, the bulbs (the high resistance bulb and the low resistance bulb) are connected in parallel with each other. This means that the same voltage passes across them.

Also, we know that according to Ohm's law, the voltage (V) and current (I) through a conductor are related by the following equation;

V =  I x R                -------------------(i)

Where;

R is the resistance of the conductor.

We can re-write equation (i) as follows;

I = V / R               -----------------------(ii)

According to equation (ii), at fixed voltage (V), the current (I) will increase as the resistance (R) decreases.

Now, since the two bulbs have the same voltage, the bulb with the low resistance will allow a larger flow of current than the bulb with high resistance.  Therefore, as said earlier that brightness is dependent on voltage and current, the bulb with the low resistance (and having larger current at some voltage) will be brighter than the bulb with the high resistance (having smaller current at same voltage).

. Each valve A, B, and C, when open, releases water into a tank at its own constant rate. With all three valves open, the tank f
olasank [31]

Answer:

Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.

Explanation:

Given that

Time taken by tank when all(A+B+C) are open = 1 hr

Time taken by tank when A+C are open = 1.5 hr

Time taken by tank when B+C are open = 2 hr

If we treat as filling of tank is a work then

Work = time x rate

Lets take work is 1 unit

1 = 1(1/a+1/b+1/c)          ---------1

1 = 1.5(1/a+1/c)           ----------2

1 = 2(1/b+1/c)             --------3

From equation 1 and 3

1=1(1/a+1/2)

a=2

Form equation 2

1 = 1.5(1/2+1/c)

c=6

From equation 3

 1 = 2(1/b+1/6)  

b=3

So time taken by

A is alone to fill tank is 2 hr

B is alone to fill tank is 3 hr

C is alone to fill tank is 6 hr

So time\ taken\ by\ A\ and\ B =\dfrac{2\times 3}{2+3} hr

Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.
