Answer: The correct answer is C.

2/10 is simplified to 1/5, that is the factor that changes.

Answer:

1/25

Explanation:

Coulombs law states that the force of attraction between two charges q and Q is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance r between them.

It is expressed as;.

F = kqQ/r²

If two point charges, initially 2 cm apart, the force between them will be;

F = kqQ/2²

F = kqQ/4 ... (1)

If the charges are now moved to a distance of 10cm apart, the force between them will then become;

F2 = kqQ/10²

F2 = kqQ/100.. (2)

Dividing equation 2 by 1;

F2/F = (kqQ/4)/kqQ/10)

F2/F = kqQ/100 × 4/kqQ

F2/F = 1/25

F2 = (1/25)F

The resulting electric force

between the changes by 1/25 since that serves as the constant of proportionality between the two forces

Answer:

a) The number density is 3.623 × 10⁻³ \frac{mol}{m^{3} }

The mass of the atmosphere is 1.3 × 10²²Kg

b) The pressure is 10⁻²⁰ Millimeter of mercury

c) The mass mixing ratio is 0.0107

The partial pressure of ethane is 0.01114 Pa

Yes it is condensable because it boiling point is -88.5 C  which is equivalent to 184.5 K i.e is adding 273 to -88.5C and the temperature of the atmosphere  is 37 K.

What is the energy in joules of a photon with a frequency of 3.16e 12 s-1?
erica [24]
We have: Energy(E) = Planck's constant(h) × Frequency(∨)
Here, Planck's constant(h) = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J/s
Frequency (∨) = 3.16 × 10¹² /s

Substitute the values into the expression:
E = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴)(3.16 × 10¹²) J
E = 2.093 × 10⁻²¹ Joules

In short, Your Final answer would be 2.093 × 10⁻²¹ J

Hope this helps!
