Answer:

According to Coulomb's Law, the potential energy of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between the charges

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's Law, the potential energy of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between the charges.  Since the potential energy  of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges, its magnitude increases as the charges of the particles increases. For like charges, the potential energy is positive(the product of the two alike charges must be positive) and since potential energy is inversely proportional to the distance between the charges therefore it decreases as the particles get farther apart . For opposite charges, the potential energy is negative(the product of the two opposite charges must be negative) and since potential energy is inversely proportional to the distance between the two charges, it becomes more negative as the particles get closer together.

ACC is an Autonomous cruise control or adaptive cruise control is a system for road vehicles that automatically adjusts the vehicle speed (can increase or decrease the speed) to maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead. 

There are also many other names of Autonomous cruise control such as active cruise control, intelligent cruise control, or radar cruise control.

A person consumes a snack containing 14 food calories (14kcal). what is the power this food produces if it is to be "burned off"
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

B) 2.7W

Explanation:

Converting Cal to Joule

        1 cal = 4.186J

        14 kcal = 14 x 1000 x 4.186

                     = 58604 J

Converting hour to seconds

             6 hours = 6 x 60 x 60 seconds

                           = 21600 seconds

Power is the time rate of doing work.

Power = Work/Time

P = (58604) / (21600)

P = 2.7W

From the average distance of one of jupiter's moons to jupiter and its orbital period around jupiter, we can determine:
den301095 [7]

Answer: Jupiter's mass

Explanation:

From Kepler's third law:

T^2=\frac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3

where T is the orbital period of a satellite, a is the average distance of the satellite from the Planet, M is the mass of the planet, G is the gravitational constant.

If the average distance of one of Jupiter's moons to Jupiter and its orbital period around Jupiter is given then mass of the Jupiter can be found:

\Rightarrow M_J=\frac{4\pi^2}{GT_m^2}a_m^3

Is an imaginary "line" from the earth to the moon a line, a ray, or a segment? Why?
igomit [66]

Answer;

- Line segment

Explanation;

"from earth to moon" implies endpoints at both locations and it is thus a line segment

A line extends forever in both directions, a line segment is just part of a line. It has two endpoints, and a ray starts at one point and continues on forever in one direction.
