Answer:

If the distance between charges is doubled, then the Force will become one-fourth.

F' = F/4

Explanation:

The Coulomb's Law gives the relation for the attractive or repulsive forces between two charges. The relation or formula is given as follows:

F = kq₁q₂/r²

where,

F = Attractive or Repulsive forces between the charges

k = Coulomb's Constant

q₁ = magnitude of 1st charge

q₂ = magnitude of 2nd charge

r = distance between charges

If we keep the magnitude of charges constant then the relation between Force an Distance between charges will be:

F α 1/r²

<u>So, it is clear from this relation that if the distance between charges is doubled, then the Force will become one-fourth.</u>

<u>F' = F/4</u>

A single brick falls with acceleration g. The reason a double brick falls with the same acceleration is
LekaFEV [45]

The reason is because the force due to the acceleration from gravity is constant. It's the same as the typical "dropping a bowling ball and feather (with no air resistance) at the same time". Gravity acts on all object with the same acceleration regardless of physical properties.

PLEASE HELP 15 POINTSexplain properties and importance of light and how it separates into colors
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

It is not a property of light. It is your eyes and brain.

Specifically, the three kinds of cone cells in our eye that are sensitive to different ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. The fact that there are three means that color is three dimensional, and is the reason the pure colors form a circle even though the spectrum of wavelengths is linear.

Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum; light waves of different frequencies and wavelengths are distinguished as colors by the human eye. A prism can separate the colors of white light (dispersion) because different frequencies of light have different refractive indices for a given material.

A satellite is to be launched into an orbit of radius,r Show that v = 2gr, where V is the
Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

We start by using the conservation law of energy:

\Delta{K} + \Delta{U} = 0

or

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 - G\dfrac{mM}{r} = 0

Simplifying the above equation, we get

v^2 = 2G\dfrac{M}{r}

We can rewrite this as

v^2 = 2\left(G\dfrac{M}{r^2}\right)r

Note that the expression inside the parenthesis is simply the acceleration due to gravity g so we can write

v^2 = 2gr

where v is the launch velocity.

the frequency of a beam of uv light is 1.0 ×10 ^15hz what is the energy in one quantum of this light express it in ev? ​
kap26 [50]

Answer:

4.14 eV

Explanation:

f = 1.0 ×10^15 Hz

h= 6.63×10^-34 J s (  this is called PLANCK 'S CONSTANT)

ENEGY = E = ?

E = hf  ( THIS IS FORMULA FOR ENERGY OF ONE QUANTA OR ONE PHOTON )

E= 6.63×10^-34×1.0 ×10^15

E = 6.63×10^-19 J

As 1eV = 1.6×10^-19 J so changing energy in eV from joules we will divide energy by 1.6×10^-19

hence E in eV = 6.63×10^-19/(1.6×10^-19)

          E = 4.14 eV
