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

You add 800 ml of water at 20c to 800 ml of water at 80c what is the most likely final temperature of the mixture ?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

d. 50 C

Explanation:

In this problem, we have to add 800 ml of water at 20 Celsius to 800 ml of water at 80 Celsius.

According to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, heat transfers from hot to cold temperature.

The quantity of both the different waters is equal so this makes it very easy. All we have to do is find the mean of both the temperatures:

Final temperature = (20 C + 80 C)/2

= 50 Celsius

In three sentences, please describe SIMPLE HARMONIC motion, and give two examples. Thank you! :-)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
A system that repeats to and from its mean or rest point. that executes harmonic motion. a few examples I've heard of are since the springtime a mass-spring system,a swing, simple pendulum, one more example is a steel ball rolling in a curved is this what you need or do you need three more sentences dish. to get S.H.M a body just displaced away from the resting position and of course then is released. the human body oscillates due to the reinforce that pulls it back do you need anything else answered on this and I'll answer it

Which of the following is an example of an electromagnetic wave? (2 points)
Maru [420]
A) red light
red lights are an example of an electromagnetic wave. visible lights are the only electromagnetic waves we can actually see on the spectrum. red, in particular has the biggest wavelength.

b) ocean waves
ocean waves are not an electromagnetic wave. in fact, it’s a mechanical wave. electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, that is empty space, but mechanical waves cannot.

c) sound waves
sound waves are also not an electromagnetic wave. it’s a mechanical wave. you cannot hear electromagnetic waves.

d) earthquakes
an earthquake is also not an example of electromagnetic waves. it’s a mechanical wave.

hope this helps!

The acceleration due to gravity is higher on juniper Than on earth. The mass and weight of rock on juniper compared to that on e
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

2.5 times higher then that on the Earth

Explanation:

Gravity is higher on Jupiter then on Earth because Jupiter is much bigger, because of it's mass compared to Earth the gravity on Jupiter is about 2.4 - 2.5 times higher then Earths surface gravity which means a rock on Jupiter would be around "2.4 - 2.5 times as heavier then it would be on Earth."

Hope this helps.
