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).

You throw a ball upward with a speed of 14m/s. What is the acceleration of the ball after it leaves your hand? Ignore air resist
omeli [17]

The acceleration of the ball after leaving the hand is 9.8 m/s^2 downward

Explanation:

In order to find the acceleration of the ball during its motion, we have to study which forces are acting on it.

After the ball leaves the hand, if we neglect air resistance, there is only one force acting on the ball: the force of gravity, whose magnitude is

F=mg

where m is the mass of the ball and g is the acceleration of gravity (g=9.8 m/s^2), acting in the downward direction.

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of the ball is given by

a=\frac{\sum F}{m}

where

\sum F is the net force acting on the ball

After the ball leaves the hand, the only force acting on it is the force of gravity, so we can substitute (mg) into the previous equation:

a=\frac{mg}{m}=g=9.8 m/s^2

This means that the acceleration of the ball remains 9.8 m/s^2 downward for the entire motion, after leaving the hand.

The Dark Matter Halo of our galaxy is The Dark Matter Halo of our galaxy is a halo component curiously absent in most others gal
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

you mean this halo right

Explanation:

Halo is an American military science fiction media franchise managed and developed by 343 Industries and published by Xbox Game Studios. The franchise and its early main installments were originally developed by Bungie. The central focus of the franchise builds off the experiences of Master Chief John-117, one of a group of supersoldiers codenamed Spartans, and his artificial intelligence (AI) companion, Cortana.

The original trilogy centers on an interstellar war between humanity and an alliance of aliens known as the Covenant. The Covenant, led by their religious leaders called the Prophets, worship an ancient civilization known as the Forerunners, who perished while defeating the parasitic Flood. The eponymous Halo Array are a group of immense, habitable, ring-shaped superweapons that were created by the Forerunners to destroy the Flood, but which the Covenant mistake for religious artifacts that, if activated, would transport them on a Great Journey to meet the Forerunners. They are similar to the Orbitals in Iain M. Banks' Culture novels, and to a lesser degree to author Larry Niven's Ringworld concept.[1][2][3][4]

The games in the series are critically acclaimed, with the original considered the Xbox's "killer app".[5] This led to the term "Halo killer" being used to describe console games that aspire, or are considered, to be better than Halo.[6] Fueled by the success of Halo: Combat Evolved, and by marketing campaigns from publisher Microsoft, its sequels went on to record-breaking sales.[7][8][9] The games have sold over 65 million copies worldwide, with the games alone grossing almost $3.4 billion.[10][11][12] Halo has since become one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. These strong sales led to the franchise's expansion to other media; the Halo Universe now spans multiple best-selling novels, graphic novels, comic books, short movies, animated movies and feature films, as well as other licensed products.

Light always travels in a straight line
Licemer1 [7]

 Light travels in straight lines. Once a light has been produced, it will keep moving in a straight line until it hits something else. Shadows are evidence of light traveling in straight lines. An object blocks light so that it can’t reach the surface where we see the shadow.

A railroad freight car of mass 3.34 × 104 kg collides with a stationary caboose car. They couple together, and 19.0% of the init
Tresset [83]

Answer:

4.123 * 10∧4 kg

Explanation:

mass of car M' = 3.34 * 10∧4 kg

energy loss E = 19/100  K

from law of conservation of momentum ,

                 M' V' = ( M' + M'' ) v

                        V = M' V' / ( M' + M'' )

       Initial kinetic energy is K'  = (M' V')² / 2

      final kinetic energy  K" = 81 K' /100

                                             =  (M' V')² 81 / (200)     =   ( M' + M'' ) v²/ 2

            therefore , M' / ( M' + M" ) = 0.81

 mass of caboose is ,  M" = 1.234 M' - M'

                                     M" = .234 M'

                                          = 0,234 ( 3.34 * 10∧4 kg)

                                          = 4.123 * 10∧4 kg
