<span>We calculate the electric field as follows:
r = </span>√<span>(3)/6 x 19 cm = .05484 m 
The angle for the triangle would be 30 on each side.
tan(30) = r/(L/2) 

E' = kQ/{r*sqrt[(L/2)^2 + r^2]} = (8.99e9 x 15e-9) / {.05484 * sqrt[(.19/2)^2 + .003]}
</span>E' <span>= 22413 N/C
The value above is the electric field strength for a single rod at the center. 

|E'| = 22413 N/C 
E = 2|E'|sin(30) + |E'| = 49000 N/C</span>

Which of the following is true of changes in momentum?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer: ⇒  Answer is 3

<h2>Explanation: momentum = mass × velocity</h2>

"A small force may produce a large change in momentum by acting on a very massive object".

THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN US THE TIME PERIOD NOR THE DISTANCE TRAVELED. THEREFORE WE CANNOT ACTUALLY DECIDE IF THE FORCE IS KEPT FOR A LONG TIME OR SHORT TIME. ANYWAYS SINCE THE MASS IS GIVEN AS MASSIVE , THE  MOMENTUM SHOULD BE DEFINITELY HIGH.

WHY I SAY OTHERS ARE WRONG:

1) For a small force to give a large change in momentum, it should act for a long time interval.

2) By applying a large force for a short time interval, the change of momentum should be large.

3) Correct answer.

4) Acting over a short distance can be the same as acting over a short period of time.Therefore the distance should be large in order for a larger momentum.

If you have 80g of a radioactive substance whose half life is 2 days, how long will it take for the substance to decay to the po
Ber [7]

Answer:

6 days.

Explanation:

From radioactivity, The expression for half life is given as,

R/R' = 2⁽ᵃ/ᵇ)................... Equation 1

Where R = original mass of the radioactive substance, R' = Remaining mass of the radioactive substance after decay, a = Total time taken to decay, b = half life.

Given: R = 80 g, R' = 10 g, b = 2 days.

Substitute into equation 1

80/10 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

8 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

2³ = 2⁽ᵃ/²)

Equating the base and solving for a

3 = a/2

a = 2×3

a = 6 days.
