Electrostatic force between two points in space is defined as,

F_e=\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{4\pi r\epsilon_r\epsilon_0}

The r is the distance between them.

So if,

1N=\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{4\pi 2cm\epsilon_r\epsilon_0}\Rightarrow 2\cdot1N=\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{4\pi\cdot10^{-2}m\cdot\epsilon_r\epsilon_0}

Than,

\boxed{\dfrac{1}{4}N}=\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{4\pi\cdot 8cm\cdot\epsilon_r\epsilon_0}\Rightarrow8\dfrac{1}{4}N\Leftrightarrow 2N=\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{4\pi\cdot10^{-2}m\cdot\epsilon_r\epsilon_0}

Hope this helps.

Why would the planets move in a straight path if there was no gravitational energy from the sun​
omeli [17]

Explanation:

The sun's gravitational force is very strong. If it were not, a planet would move in a straight line out into space. The sun's gravity pulls the planet toward the sun, which changes the straight line of direction into a curve. This keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun

A jewellery melts 500g of Silver to pour into a mould. Calculate how much energy was released as the silver solidified.
irga5000 [103]

When silver is poured into the mould the it will solidify

In this process the phase of the Silver block will change from liquid to solid.

This phase change will lead to release in heat and this heat is known as latent heat of fusion.

The formula to find the latent heat of fusion is given as

Q = mL

here given that

m = mass = 500 g

L = 111 kJ/kg

now we can find the heat released

Q = 0.5 * 111 kJ

Q = 55.5 kJ

So it will release total heat of 55.5 kJ when it will solidify

a student in your class says "electromagnetic waves can travel through outer space but mechanical waves can’t.” is it this stude
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Right

Explanation:

electromagnetic waves can travel through space (a vacuum) because it doesn't need a medium and its particles to propagate whereas a mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. For example sound is a mechanical wave, sound vibrates off a mediums particles to propagate and for sound to be heard and travel
