Answer:

5 N

Explanation:

F_1 = 20 N

r_1 = 6 cm

r_2 = 12 cm

k = Coulomb constat

q = Charge

\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2}}{\dfrac{kq_2q_2}{r_2^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{12^2}{6^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=4\\\Rightarrow F_2=\dfrac{F_1}{4}\\\Rightarrow F_2=\dfrac{20}{4}\\\Rightarrow F_2=5\ N

The force is 5 N

stealth61 [152]

v = speed of the source of sound or the train towards the listener or switchman = 40 m/s

V = actual speed of sound = 340 m/s

f = actual frequency of sound as emitted from source or the train = 1000 Hz

f' = frequency as observed by the listener or by switchman = ?

Using Doppler's law , frequency observed by a listener from a source moving towards it is given as

f' = V f /(V - v)

inserting the values

f' = 340 x 1000 /(340 - 40)

f' = 340 x 1000/300

A temperature inversion happens when a _____ air layer traps pollution close to the surface of the earth.
LenaWriter [7]
When warm air layer traps pollution that is within the earth's surface, a temperature inversion usually takes place. In addition, at temperature inversion happens when the cold air overlays the warm air in the troposphere, which does not usually happen since warm air rises and cold air sinks by principle.

A positively charged non-metal ball A is placed near metal ball B. Prove that if the charge on B is positive but of small magnit
nordsb [41]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Ball A is a non positively charged non metal while ball B is metal ball.

Given: The ball B positive charge of small magnitude

To prove: Balls will attract each other

IN this condition because of induction negative charges on the sphere B move to the side closer to sphere A,(induction charging) while the positive charges move to the side further away from sphere A. The polarization of charge on B will cause a greater attractive force than the repulsion of the like charges.

Hence the correct answer will be D .
