Answer:

New force, F'=\dfrac{1}{4}F

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two spheres is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

According to given condition, each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge, new force is given by :

F'=\dfrac{kq_1/2q_2/2}{r^2}

F'=\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

F'=\dfrac{1}{4}F

So, the new force becomes (1/4)th of the initial force. Hence, the correct option is (d).

In a real system of levers, wheels, or pulleys, the AMA is less than the IMA because _____.
grandymaker [24]
In a real system of levers, wheel or pulleys, the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) is less than the IMA (ideal mechanical advantage) because of the presence of friction.

In fact, the IMA and the AMA of a machine are defined as the ratio between the output force (the load) and the input force (the effort):
IMA= \frac{F_{out}}{F_{in}}
however, the difference is that the IMA does not take into account the presence of frictions, while the AMA does. As a result, the output force in the AMA is less than the output force in the IMA (because some energy is dissipated due to friction), and the AMA is less than the IMA.

A source emits monochromatic light of wavelength 495 nm in air. when the light passes through a liquid, its wavelength reduces t
Katyanochek1 [597]
By definition, the refractive index is
n = c/v
where c =  3 x 10⁸ m/s,  the speed of light in vacuum
v = the speed of light in the medium (the liquid).

The frequency of the light source is
f = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(495 x 10⁻⁹ m) = 6.0606 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Because the wavelength in the liquid is 434 nm = 434 x 10⁻⁹ m, 
v = (6.0606 x 10¹⁴ 1/s)*(434 x 10⁻⁹ m) = 2.6303 x 10⁸ m/s

The refractive index is (3 x 10⁸)/(2.6303 x 10⁸) = 1.1406

Drag the positive or negative feedback loop on the left to each process on the right. terms may be used once, more than once, or
slamgirl [31]

The order of the positive and negative feedback loops are positive, positive, negative, positive, positive, negative.

<h3>What is a feedback loop?</h3>

A system component known as a feedback loop is one in which all or a portion of the output is used as input for subsequent actions. A minimum of four phases comprise each feedback loop. Input is produced in the initial phase. Input is recorded and stored in the subsequent stage. Input is examined in the third stage, and during the fourth, decisions are made using the knowledge from the examination.

Both negative and positive feedback loops are possible. Insofar as they stay within predetermined bounds, negative feedback loops are self-regulating and helpful for sustaining an ideal condition. One of the most well-known examples of a self-regulating negative feedback loop is an old-fashioned home thermostat that turns on or off a furnace using bang-bang control.
