The answer is <span>A. 1/4 as much.

</span>

To calculate this, we will use Coulomb's Law:

F = k*Q1*Q2/r²

<span>where F is repulsive force, k is constant, Q is charge, r is distance between charges.</span>


k = 5.0 × 10⁹  N*m/C²

<span><span> <span> <span> <span> </span></span> </span></span> </span>

Let's take one example where:

Q1 = Q2 = 1.2 × 10⁻⁶ C²

r₁ = 0.5 m

So, F1 = k*Q1*Q2/r₁² = 5.0 × 10⁹ * 1.2 × 10⁻⁶ * 1.2 × 10⁻⁶ /0.5² = 12.96 × 10⁻²/0.25 = 51.84 × 10⁻² = 0.5184 ≈ 0.52


Let's now double r:

r₂ = 2r₁ = 2*0.5 = 1

And let's calculate force:

F2 = k*Q1*Q2/r₂² = 5.0 × 10⁹ * 1.2 × 10⁻⁶ * 1.2 × 10⁻⁶ /1² = 12.96 × 10⁻²/1 = 12.96 × 10⁻² = 0.1296 ≈ 0.13


And now, let's see how much is the second force (F2) differ from the first force (F1):
F2/F1 = 0.13/0.52 = 1/4

Which pair of triangles can be proven congruent by the hl theorem?
hoa [83]

The pairs of triangles that can be proven congruent by the hl theorem is the right angled triangle.

<h3>What is mearnt be the HL theorm?</h3>

The HL theorem is also known as the Hypothenus Leg theorem, it states that "the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent."

Two high-current transmission lines carry currents of 29.0 A and 78.0 A in the same direction and are suspended parallel to each
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

I_1=29 A

I_2=78 A

d=38 cm=\frac{38}{100}=0.38 m

1 m=100 cm

a.Length of segment,l=20 m

Magnetic force ,F=\frac{2\mu_0I_1I_2 l}{4\pi d}

\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}=10^{-7}

Substitute the values

F=\frac{10^{-7}\times 29\times 78\times 20}{0.38}=0.0119 N

Hence, the magnetic force exert by each segment on the other=0.0119 N

b.We know that when current carrying in the wires are in same direction then the force will attract to each other.

Hence, the force will be attractive.

Based on the graph, describe how momentum changes with time for an object in free fall. If you can help, I would be so grateful.
pochemuha
With time, momentum increases as it builds speed assuming their is nothing in the way to stop it. Based on the graph, you can see that example being displayed as the line on the graph gets higher
