If we say that one quantity is directly proportional to another quantity, does this mean that they are equal to each other?

Answer:

Explanation:

It doesn't mean it equal to each other.  lets say x is directly proportional to y. Here, if something happens to x then, y will do the same thing. for example, if x increases, then y also increases. similarly, if x decreases, then y also decreases. therefore, x is something or lets say it is a major factor that decides the fate of y.

NO !

It means that (one of them) divided by (the other one) is always the same number.

(Other people probably won't explain it to you this way, but I'm special, and this is true.

Anyway, the direct answer to your question is: No.)

If an object is not moving are the forces acting on it balanced? Yes or no?why?
xxMikexx [17]

This is another time to look at Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If the object is not moving, then its acceleration is certainly zero, and Newton's law looks like this:

Net Force = (mass) x (zero)

or  Net Force = (zero) .

"Net Force = zero" means that if there ARE any forces acting on the object, then they add up to zero, and we call them "balanced" forces.

So the answer is '<em>yes</em>', and that's why.

If we interpret the large, angular rocks to have originated from the outcrop at the top of the hill, we are using __________ rea
IrinaK [193]

The reasoning which is in use when large, angular rocks are interpreted to have originated from the outcrop at the top of the hill is; Fossil succession

<h3>Fossil succession of rocks</h3>

The principle of fossil succession in characterized by the fact that fossil entities succeed one another upward through rock layers in a definite and determinable order.

On this note, any time period can be dated by its fossil content.

Two identical charges,2.0m apart,exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other.What is the value of either charge?
storchak [24]

Answer:

\large \boxed{42\, \mu \text{C}}$

Explanation:

The formula for the force exerted between two charges is

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

where k is the Coulomb constant.

The charges are identical, so we can write the formula as

F=k\dfrac{q^{2}}{r^2}

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{4.0 N}& = & 8.988 \times 10^{9}\text{ N$\cdot$m$^{2}$C$^{-2}$} \times \dfrac{q^{2}}{\text{(2.0 m)}^{2}}\\\\4.0 & = & 2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$} \times q^{2}\\\\q^{2} & = & \dfrac{4.0}{2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$}}\\\\& = & 1.78 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C}^{2}\\q & = & 4.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ C}\\& = & 42\, \mu \text{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{Each charge has a value of $\large \boxed{\mathbf{42\, \mu }\textbf{C}}$}

Please help!?!?
Vanyuwa [196]

Since bulb is connected in the closed circuit at the position of D

as well as switch B is also closed in that position so the current will flow through the bulb and bulb will glow in that position

So the most appropriate correct option will be

D. The light bulb will be on
