The force between them <em>decreases</em><em>,</em> as the square of the distance.

For example ...

-- If you move them apart to double the original distance, the force becomes (1/2²) = 1/4 of the original force.

-- If you move them apart to 3 times the original distance, the force becomes (1/3²) = 1/9 of the original force.

-- If you move them apart to 5 times the original distance, the force becomes (1/5²) = 1/25 of the original force.

(Gravity works exactly the same way.)

Why does ice reflect more energy compared to water?

Stells [14]

Answer:

while ice is made by water again it melts and becomes water. water is colourless and odourless and has no taste but ice is only cold and hard. water is used for drinking and other things. but is for freshness and it never flows

Explanation:

so ice reflect more energy compared to water

What happens when water at 4° celsius is heated further?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Explanation:

4 degrees C turns out to be the temperature at which liquid water has the highest density. If you heat it or cool it, it will expand. ... Ice floats on top of lakes, preventing evaporation (and convection in the frozen layer), and lakes stay liquid underneath, allowing fish and other life to survive.

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between thermal energy and particle movement?

zhuklara [117]

As thermal energy increases, there is more particle movement. As thermal energy increases, there is more particle movement. As thermal energy increases, there is less particle movement.

The terminals of a battery are connected across two resistors in series. The resistances of the resistors are not the same. Whic

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

When two resistors are connected in series, we have the following:

- The resistors are connected such that the current passing through the two resistors is the same

- The voltage of the battery is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor

- the equivalent resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:

R = R1 + R2

So, let's analyze each statement:

(a) The resistor with the smaller resistance carries more current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(b) The resistor with the larger resistance carries less current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(d) The potential difference across each resistor is the same. --> FALSE: the potential difference across each resistor is given by

V=RI

where I (the current) is the same for both resistors, while R (the resistance) is not, so V is also different for the two resistors.

(e) The potential difference is greatest across the resistor closest to the positive terminal --> FALSE. According to

V=RI

the potential difference depends only on the value of the resistance, so it doesn't matter which resistor is connected to the positive terminal.
