Answer:

When the temperature of the substance changes the randomness and thermal motion on atomic level also changes accordingly.

That means lower the temperature means lower the motion of molecules, some times at particular temperature the phase change also occurs.

When the substance changes its phase, the energy within the substance also changes

Also when substance change its phase the size of molecules also changes, which decreases the heat energy.

When temperature decreases the atoms(or molecules) within the substance begin to slow down.

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 .

Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units and points in the positive x direction. A second vector, B , has a magnitude of 120 units a

Alex Ar [27]

A) Vector A

The x-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

$v_x = v cos \theta$

where

v is the magnitude of the vector

$\theta$ is the angle between the x-axis and the direction of the vector

- Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so $\theta_A = 0^{\circ}$ . So its x-component is

$A_x = A cos \theta_A = (50) cos 0^{\circ}=50$

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is $\theta_B = -70^{\circ}$ (negative since it is below the x-axis), so the x-component is

$B_x = B cos \theta_B = (120) cos (-70^{\circ})=41$

So, vector A has the greater x component.

B) Vector B

Instead, the y-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

$v_y = v sin \theta$

Here we have

- Vector B has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so $\theta_A = 0^{\circ}$ . So its y-component is

$A_y = A sin \theta_A = (50) sin 0^{\circ}=0$

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is $\theta_B = -70^{\circ}$ , so the y-component is

$B_y = B sin \theta_B = (120) sin (-70^{\circ})=-112.7$

where the negative sign means the direction is along negative y:

So, vector B has the greater y component.
