Answer:

d) 1/4 F

Explanation:

The magnitude of electrostatic force between stationary charges is described by Coulomb's law. This law states that this force is proportional to the magnitudes of the charges:

F\propto q_1q_2

When each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge, we have:

q_1'=\frac{q_1}{2}\\q_2'=\frac{q_2}{2}

So, the new electrostatic force is:

F'\propto q_1'q_2'\\F'\propto \frac{q_1}{2}\frac{q_2}{2}\\F'\propto \frac{q_1q_2}{4}\\F'\propto\frac{1}{4}F

Which coordinate system would be most useful for two observers (one in Michigan and one in Florida) who wants to observe the sam
Mkey [24]

Answer : Celestial or azimuth - altitude

Explanation :  

Celestial : The celestial coordinates that are analogous to longitude and latitude are called RA and Dec.

RA = Right Ascension

Dec = Declination

RA is the measured in unit of time and Dec is measured in degree.

The equatorial coordinate system is the projection of the latitude and longitude coordinate system on the celestial sphere.

Azimuth - altitude :  Azimuth - altitude define the location of an object in the sky.

The altitude is the distance of an object appears to be above the horizon.

The Azimuth of the object is the angular distance  along the horizon to the location of the object.

Kiley went 5.7 km/h north and then went 5.8 km/h west. From start to finish, she went 8.1 km/h northwest. Which best describes h
meriva

Answer:

8.1km/h Northwest

Explanation:

The 8.1km/h Northwest gives the best description of her distance from start to finish. This distance can be represented in a right angle triangle , this is the hypotenuse which is the longest side of the triangle. If we add 5.7 and 5.8 this gives 11.5km/h compared to 8.1km/h which is a smaller distance and the best.
