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

Ozzie estimates the weight of his cat to be 10 pounds. The actual weight of the cat is 7 pounds. Find
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The percent error in his estimation is 30%

Explanation:

Percentage error = |UA- UE| \ UE × 100

UA= Actual value = 7 pounds

UE = Expected value = 10 pounds

Percent error of his estimate = ∣7-10∣ / 10 ×100

= ∣-3∣ / 10 × 100

= 30%

The weight of air in a column 1-m2 in cross section that extends from sea level to the top of the atmosphere is?
Sauron [17]

From sea level to the top of the atmosphere, a column of air with a 1-m2 cross section weighs 101,000 N.

To find the answer we have to know about the pressure.

<h3>What is Pressure?</h3>
  • The pressure at a point on a surface is the thrust acting per unit area around that point.

                    Pressure, P=\frac{Thrust}{Area}=\frac{F}{A}

  • A particular mass of air is contained in a column that rises from the ocean to the top of the atmosphere. Then,

                   P=P_a=1.013*10^5 pascal

Pa is the atmospheric pressure at the sea level.

  • By combining both the equations, we get the weight of air,

                                       \frac{F}{A}=P_a

              F=W=P_a*A=1.013*10^5*1=101300N

Thus, we can conclude that, the weight of air in a column 1-m2 in cross section that extends from sea level to the top of the atmosphere is 101300N.

What is the magnitude of an electric field in which the electric force on a proton is equal in magnitude to its weight?Use 1.67×
vazorg [7]

The electric force on the proton is:

F = Eq

F = electric force, E = electric field strength, q = proton charge

The gravitational force on the proton is:

F = mg

F = gravitational force, m = proton mass, g = gravitational acceleration

Since the electric force and gravitational force balance each other out, set their magnitudes equal to each other:

Eq = mg

Given values:

q = 1.60×10⁻¹⁹C, m = 1.67×10⁻²⁷kg, g = 9.81m/s²

Plug in and solve for E:

E(1.60×10⁻¹⁹) = 1.67×10⁻²⁷(9.81)

E = 1.02×10⁻⁷N/C

During a baseball game, a batter hits a high
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: 43.01 m

Explanation:

Given that :

Time ball uses in the air = 5.93, time it takes to reach maximum height and return = time of flight(T) = 5.93 s

TIME of flight (T) = 2 * time taken(t)

Where g = a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

S = 0.5at²

S = maximum height

Tjme taken (t) = time of flight / 2 = 5.93/2 = 2.965 s

Hence,

S = 0.5at²

S = 2 × 0.5 × 9.8 × 2.965²

S = 43.0770025

S = 43.01 m
