Force is a push or a pull of an object that causes the object to speed up, slow down, or stay in one place. In other words, a force is what causes an object to move. Friction and gravity are two types of forces that influence how an object moves.

Hope I can help you!

A push or a pull on an object is known as a force.

Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For example, if we kick a ball the ball moves in the direction of the kick. Here on kicking the ball we apply a force on the ball that made the ball move. So, the motion (push/pull) of an object is due to the force applied on it.

Force is a vector quantity defined by the product mass and acceleration. That is, F=ma. The SI unit is Newton (N).

Velocity is the rate of change of speed of an object.

Acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity.

Acid mine drainage is:
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.

Explanation:

Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.

Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.

The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

Explanation:

The alpha particle will be deflected when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy

Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C

Kinetic energy of  the alpha particle = 5.28 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV)

=  8.459 × 10⁻¹³

k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²

Kinetic energy = potential energy =   k q₁q₂ / r where r is the closest distance the alpha particle got to the gold nucleus

r = (  9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c² × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C) / 8.459 × 10⁻¹³

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

A charge q produces an electric field of strength 2E at a distance of d away. Determine the electric field strength at a distanc
Alja [10]

The electric field strength of a point charge is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the charge ... a lot like gravity.

If the magnitude of the field is (2E) at the distance 'd', then at the distance '2d', it'll be (2E)/(2²).  That's (2E)/4 = 0.5E .
