I don't think an object can exert a force on itself.

Try it: Get up on a skateboard, and see if you can do anything to yourself that makes you start moving ... without touching anything else.

It'll be easy to tell if you succeed. If you actually do exert an unbalanced force on yourself, then you'll begin to accelerate.

a force 2.4E2 N exists between a positive charge of 8E-5 C and a positive charge of 3E-5 C. What distance separates the charges?

Verdich [7]

The distance between the two charges is $0.3 m$

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's law:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_1, q_2$ are the charges of the two objects

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we are given the following:

$q_1 = 8\cdot 10^{-5} C$

$q_2 = 3\cdot 10^{-5} C$

$F=2.4\cdot 10^2 N$

Therefore, we can rearrange the equation to solve for r, the distance between the two charges:

$r=\sqrt{\frac{kq_1 q_2}{F}}=\sqrt{\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(8\cdot 10^{-5})(3\cdot 10^{-5})}{2.4\cdot 10^2}}=0.3 m$

Your hands get warm by a fire because _____energy is converted into heat energy

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Your hands get warm by fire because chemical energy gets converted into heat energy. When the chemical bonds in the wood are released in the air which then mixes with oxygen and emit heat. This is the reason why it is always hot when you go near something that is burning or is up in flames.

"4. Two long, parallel wires each carry the same current I in the same direction (Fig. OQ 30.4) . Is the total magnetic field at

Nastasia [14]

Total magnetic field at the point P midway between the wires is Zero.

The higher wire's contribution to the magnetic field at point P is directed into the page, whereas the lower wire's contribution is directed out of the page. These two oppositely directed contributions to the magnetic field have identical magnitudes and cancel each other out since point P is equally spaced from the two wires and the currents flowing through them are of equal magnitude.

<h3></h3><h3>Define magnitude?</h3>

The term "magnitude" refers to an object's greatest size and direction. Scalar and vector quantities both use magnitude as a common factor. We are aware that scalar quantities are those that have just magnitude by definition. Those quantities with both magnitude and direction are considered vector quantities. It can also be used to describe how far an object has travelled or how much an object weighs in terms of its magnitude.

Question 8: Cosmology (8 points)

STatiana [176]

Big bang happened about 13.7 billion years ago in our universe.

<h3>Describe the beginning of the universe according to the big bang theory?</h3>

According to the big bang theory, about 13.7 billion years ago, an explosive expansion began, expanding our universe outwards faster than the speed of light.

<h3>Describe the future of the universe according to the flat model?</h3>

According to the flat model, the universe is infinite and will continue to expand forever because the universe is expanding.

<h3>What is cosmic background radiation? </h3>

Cosmic background radiation is a weak radio-frequency radiation that is traveling through outer space in every direction. It is the residual radiation of the big bang, when the universe was very hot.

<h3>How do observations of the cosmic background radiation provide evidence to support the big bang theory? </h3>

The Big Bang theory predicts that the early universe was a very hot place and that as it expands, the gas within it cools. Thus the universe has all over radiation which is called the “cosmic microwave background".
