Accurately

Explanation:

If we took our laboratory spring to the moon, we can accurately measure the mass because mass of any substance is the same every where in the universe.

Mass is the amount of substance in a matter. Since the same substance on earth is made up of same matter on moon, the mass will remain the same.

The only difference between the measurement would be the weight.
Weight is the vertical force on an object.
It is function of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.

Acceleration due to gravity on earth and moon are different.
The gravity on moon is about one-sixth that on earth.
The weight using the same mass will be one-sixth
But the mass will be the same.

I think this is about the 5th or 6th time I've seen this question
submitted to Brainly. So far, nobody has yet given us any of
the rest of the question ... the part that tells us something about
the vectors, so that we have some way to know their magnitudes.
So far, nada.

Particle q1 has a positive 6 µc charge. particle q2 has a positive 2 µc charge. they are located 0.1 meters apart. recall that k

Dmitrij [34]

(a) Force between the two charges

The electrostatic force between the two charges is given by:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, r their separation.

In this problem:

$q_1 =6 \mu C=6 \cdot 10^{-6}C$

$q_2=2 \mu C=2 \cdot 10^{-6}C$

$r=0.1 m$

Substituting into the equation, we find

$F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(6 \cdot 10^{-6}C)(2 \cdot 10^{-6}C)}{(0.1 m)^2}=10.8 N$

(b) direction of particle q2

Particle q2 wants to move in the direction of the force acting on it. The direction of the force depends on the relative sign of the two charges: like charges attract each other, opposite charges repel each other. In this case, the two charges are both positive, so they repel each other and q2 tends to move away from particle q1.

Name human body organs where magnetism is significant

ser-zykov [4K]

It has been hypothesized, and some studies have supported the conjecture,
that certain species of insects and birds are able to sense the direction of external
magnetic fields.

I don't think there is any such notion where human beings are concerned.
