Answer:
, repulsive
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electric force between two charged particles is given by Coulomb's law:
where:
is the Coulomb's constant
are the two charges of the two particles
r is the separation between the two charges
The force is:
- repulsive if the two charges have same sign
- Attractive if the two charges have opposite signs
In this problem, we have two electrons, so:
is the magnitude of the two electrons
is their separation
Substituting into the formula, we find the electric force between them:
And the force is repulsive, since the two electrons have same sign charge.
Answer:
0.75 m
Explanation:
Let's call the distance between the bulb and the mirror x.
The bulb and the length of the mirror form a triangle. The mirror and the illuminated area on the floor form a trapezoid. If we extend the lines from the mirror edge to the reflected image of the bulb, we turn that trapezoid into a large triangle. This triangle and the small triangle are similar. So we can say:
x / 0.4 = (3 + x) / 2
Solving for x:
2x = 0.4 (3 + x)
2x = 1.2 + 0.4 x
1.6 x = 1.2
x = 0.75
So the bulb should located no more than 0.75 m from the mirror.

Yes, scientific method can be applied on many everyday activities to get a reasonable solution. Infact normally we are applying this method without having it in our knowledge that we are applying it.
For example: In morning we are going to office and we start the car, but it is not started.You turn the engine again and again but it simply donot works.
Observation (the state of defining a problem):
The car is not started
Hypothesis (A possible solution based on the information we already know):
The car is not started because it might be out of gas or there can be some other technical fault.
Experiment (testing of hypothesis by applying different methods of solving problem):
You get the fuel and put it inside the car but it still donot works and car didnot start. Experiment didnot get solution.
Analyze the results of data and test another hypothesis
You call a technician and he check with the car engine tries and finds out that the engine was out of order and needs repairing.
Draw conclusion:
The engine do not works when it is out of order and it is a cause of a car not being started.
<em>Now the theory and law making part can not be applied on this case but it is a part of scientific method.</em>
Hope it helps!
Answer:
200 mL
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial volume, V₁ = 300 mL
Initial pressure, P₁ = 0.5 kPa
Final pressure, P₂ = 0.75 kPa
We need to find the final volume of the sample if pressure is increased at constant temperature. It is based on Boyle's law. Its mathematical form is given by :
V₂ is the final volume
So, the final volume of the sample is 200 mL.
