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

An object needs a force of 152 Newtrons to move 8 meters. How much work is required?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

960J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force  = 120N

Distance = 8m

Unknown:

Work required  = ?

Solution:

The work done by a body is the force applied to move a body in a specific direction.

 Work done  = Force x distance

Insert the parameters and solve;

  Work done  = 120  x  8  = 960J

Two identical projectiles were projected at 200 km/h the first one is at an angle 60 to the horizontal while the second one is a
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The angle that will have the most range (Goes further) <u>will be the one that is shot with 60 ° with the horizontal. </u>

Since the one that shoots with respect to the vertical, it will only reach higher. And it won't go as far as the horizontal.

Greetings.

Calculate the frequency of each of the following wave lengths of electromagnetic radiation. Part A 488.0 nm (wavelength of argon
Drupady [299]

Answer:

A. f=6.1475*10^{14}Hz

B. f=5.9642*10^{14}Hz

Explanation:

The frequency has an inversely proportional relationship with the concept of wavelength, the greater the wavelength, the lower the frequency. For electromagnetic waves, the frequency is equal to the speed of light, divided by the wavelength.

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

A.

f=\frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s}}{488*10^{-9}m}\\\\f=6.1475*10^{14}Hz

B.

f=\frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s}}{503*10^{-9}m}\\\\f=5.9642*10^{14}Hz
