Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago

Answer: 34.65 N towards charge 8 μC.

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by:

F =k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

where, k is the Coulomb constant = 8.9875 × 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q₁ and q₂ are the two charges separated by distance r.

The distance between charges 8 μC and -7 μC is r = 2 cm -(-10 cm) = 12 cm = 0.12 m

The force between these charges is:

F = 8.9875 \times 10^9 Nm^2/C^2 \times \frac{8\times 10^{-6}C\times (-7\times10^{-6}C)}{(0.12m)^2} = -34.95 N

Negative sign implies it is an attractive force.

The distance between -3 μC charge and -7 μC charge is r' = 10 cm -2 cm = 8 cm = 0.8 m.

The electrostatic force between these charges is:

F' = 8.9875\times 10^9Nm^2/C^2\times \frac{(-3 \times 10^{-6}C)\times (-7\times 10^{-6}C)}{(0.8m)^2} = 0.295 N

It is a repulsive force.

Net force on the -7 μC charge is:

Fn = F + F'

we can add them directly as they are acting in one direction along the x-axis.

Fn = -34.95 N + 0.295 = -34.65 N

Thus, the net force is attractive in nature and it is towards charge 8 μC.

Lightning a. occurs when a positively charged cloud base induces a negative charge on the Earth's surface. b. travels most often
mart [117]

Answer:

c. may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

Explanation:

Lightning is a discharge which is due to the reaction between oppositely charged charges in the clouds, or between clouds base and the Earth surface.

The motion of the cloud causes charging of clouds by friction, thus the reaction between opposite charges (jumping of charges from one cloud to another) in the cloud can lead to lightning. Also, oftentimes the bottom of a cloud is negatively charged so that this is attracted to the positive charge on the earth surface. Thus leading to a discharge called lightning.

Thus in the given question, the appropriate option is C. This implies that, lightning may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

If a short-wave radio station broadcasts on a frequency of 9.065 megahertz (MHz), what is the wavelength of
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one ... Typical radio wave frequencies are about 88~108 MHz .

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a radio wave, you will be using the equation: Speed of a wave = wavelength X frequency.

Since radio waves are electromagnetic waves and travel at 2.997 X

8

meters/second, then you will need to know the frequency of the radio wave.

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one million hertz. If the radio wave is from an AM radio station, these are in kilohertz (there are one thousand hertz in a kilohertz). Hertz are waves/second. Hertz is usually the label for the frequency of electromagnetic waves.

To conclude, to determine the wavelength of a radio wave, you take the speed and divide it by the frequency.

Typical radio wave frequencies are about

How does the density of a medium affectthe speed of a wave traveling through it
Mariana [72]
The denser the medium, the harder the sound struggles to travel through. The medium will determine how effectively the sound will travel, for example, large bodies of water has barely any sound for its density.
