Answer:

B. Iron nails are attracted to the magnet

Explanation:

A qualitative observation is an observation that gives qualitative data -as opposed to quantitative-. This means that the data is non-numerical (or unquantifiable). In other words it could be said that a qualitative observation can be reached when you don't count anything. In chemistry qualitative observations can be made of properties such as color, smell, or whether or not a species is attracted to a magnet.

Two charged objects are 1 meter apart. Calculate the magnitude of the electric force between them if the two charges are +1.0 μC

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

0.00899 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by the equation:

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

where:

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

$q_1, q_2$ are the charges

r is the distance between the two charges

And the force is:

- Repulsive if the two charges have same sign

- Attractive if the two charges have opposite sign

In this problem we have:

$q_1=1.0\mu C = 1.0\cdot 10^{6}C$ (charge of object 1)

$q_2=1.0\mu C = 1.0\cdot 10^{6}C$ (charge of object 2)

r = 1 m (separation between the objects)

So, the electric force is

$F=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1.0\cdot 10^{-6})^2}{1^2}=0.00899 N$

The amplitude of a lightly damped oscillator decreases by 3.42% during each cycle. What percentage of the mechanical energy of t

frozen [14]

Answer:

The percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle is 6.72%

Explanation:

Mechanical energy (Potential energy, PE) of the oscillator is calculated as;

PE = ¹/₂KA²

During the first oscillation;

PE₁ = ¹/₂KA₁²

During the second oscillation;

A₂ = A₁ - 0.0342A₁ = 0.9658A₁

PE₂ = ¹/₂KA₂²

PE₂ = ¹/₂K (0.9658A₁)²

PE₂ = (0.9658²)¹/₂KA₁²

PE₂ = (0.9328)¹/₂KA₁²

PE₂ = 0.9328PE₁

Percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle;

$Change \ in \ percent= \frac{PE_2 - PE_1}{PE_1} \\\\Change \ in \ percent= \frac{0.9328PE_1 -PE_1}{PE_1} *100\\\\Change \ in \ percent= \frac{-0.0672PE_1}{PE_1}*100 \\\\Change \ in \ percent= -0.0672*100\\\\Change \ in \ percent= -6.72 \ \% \\\\Loss \ in \ percent= 6.72 \ \%$

Therefore, the percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle is 6.72%
