No one knows yet, but Alpha Centauri is an obvious target. It's the nearest star system to our sun at 4.3 light-years away. That's about 25 trillion miles (40 trillion km) away from Eart

An ice block measuring 5cm by 5cm by 5cm has a desity of 5g/cm3. What is the mass of the ice block?
Svetradugi [14.3K]


Density = (mass) / (volume)

Volume of your block = (5cm x 5cm x 5cm) = 125 cm³

5 gm/cm³ = (mass) / (125 cm³)

Multiply each side by (125 cm³):  Mass = 625 gm

Note: 
I don't know what kind of frozen substance you're working with,
but maybe you ought to be careful handling it ... I know that's
not water ice you have there.  The density of water ice is not
5 gm/cm³.  In fact, it's a little less than 1 gm/cm³.  That's why
the ice floats in your soda.

A point charge A of charge +4micro coloumb and another B of -1 micro coloumb are placed at a distance in air 1m apart then the d
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

A point charge is placed between two charges

Q1 = 4 μC

Q2 = -1 μC

Distance between the two charges is 1m

We want to find the point when the electric field will be zero.

Electric field can be calculated using

E = kQ/r²

Let the point charge be at a distance x from the first charge Q1, then, it will be at 1 -x from the second charge.

Then, the magnitude of the electric at point x is zero.

E = kQ1 / r² + kQ2 / r²

0 = kQ1 / x²  - kQ2 / (1-x)²

kQ1 / x² = kQ2 / (1-x)²

Divide through by k

Q1 / x² = Q2 / (1-x)²

4μ / x² = 1μ / (1 - x)²

Divide through by μ

4 / x² = 1 / (1-x)²

Cross multiply

4(1-x)² = x²

4(1-2x+x²) = x²

4 - 8x + 4x² = x²

4x² - 8x + 4 - x² = 0

3x² - 8x + 4 = 0

Check attachment for solution of quadratic equation

We found that,

x = 2m or x = ⅔m

So, the electric field will be zero if placed ⅔m from point charge A, OR ⅓m from point charge B.

Lucinda frequently finds herself getting upset and yelling at her husband, co-workers, and friends. What therapeutic technique w
IrinaK [193]

The therapeutic technique Lucinda would start is behavioral self-monitoring.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Behavioral self-monitoring, introduced by Mark Snyder in the 1970s, is an ability of an individual to regulate the behavior to accommodate in various social situations.

Here, Lucinda frequently gets upset and yells at her husband, co-workers, and friends. She wants to keep a record of where, when, or with whom she might lose her temper in order to evaluate her behavior.

The individuals with high levels of self-monitoring possess greater skill at bridging social situations and in relationships they seem to be more flexible and adaptable.
