What you can use is coulomb's inverse square law that states that force varies inversly as the square of distance.  <span>It menas that the force is calculated by dividing by distance squared. what this does is essentially as the distance doubles, the forces is reduced by a factor of 4 or can be divided by 4. Force at 0.5m=2.3328N. And brings you ti the answer</span>

Answer:

New force, F' = 2.33 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

A physicist found that a force of 0.72 N was measured between two charged sphere.

The distance between the spheres was, d = 0.9 m

We have to find the force between the two sphere when the distance was decreased to d' = 0.5 m

The force acting between two charged particles is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

i.e. F is inversely proportional to the square of distance between the charges. Let F' is the force when distance is decreased.

So, \dfrac{F}{F'}=(\dfrac{d'}{d})^2

\dfrac{0.72}{F'}=(\dfrac{0.5}{0.9})^2

On solving, we get : F' = 2.33 N

Hence, on decreasing distance the force between the charges increases.

Water is, indeed, an exception. Normally when temperature drops, material shrinks. Water doesn't, water expands instead.

A pitcher throws a baseball towards home plate. The baseball, which has a mass of 142 g, approaches the plate with 128 J of kine
mylen [45]
Mass=142g
K.E=128 J
Speed or Velocity=?
K.E=1/2*m*v^2
128=1/2*142*v^2
128=72*v^2
v^2=128/72
v^2=1.777
by taking square rt 
v= 1.333ms-1
so the speed will be 1.333 ms-1

The diameter of our disk-shaped galaxy, the Milky Way, is about 1.0 x 10^5 light-years (ly). The distance to the Andromeda galax
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

500 cm

Explanation:

Diameter of Milky Way = 1\times 10^5\ ly

Here, this distance is equal = 25 cm

1\times 10^5\ ly=25\ cm

\\\Rightarrow 1\ cm=\frac{1}{25}\times 10^5\ ly\\\Rightarrow 1\ cm=0.04\times 10^5\ ly\\\Rightarrow 1\ ly=\frac{1}{0.04\times 10^5}\ cm

Distance between the Andromeda galaxy and Milky Way is 2 million ly

2\times 10^6\ ly=2\times 10^6\times \frac{1}{0.04\times 10^5}\\\Rightarrow 2\times 10^6\ ly=500\ cm

Hence, the plates would be 500 cm apart
