This is because its density increases. In a liquid, the density decreases, allowing it to stay on top of another substance. The liquid cools as it rises away from the core, and gets closer to the crust. The loss of temperature makes it more dense than the liquid.

liq [111]

Answer: Reduction in skin resistance as a result of increased perspiration leading to conduction.

Explanation:

A lie detector is a machine used to detect when someone is lying.

This is so because when an individual lies, there is an increase in heart beat which causes an increase in sweating. As the the individual sweats there is a reduction in the resistance at skin surface leading to current conduction across the connected cables.

Two electric charges, held a distance, dd, apart experience an electric force of magnitude, FF, between them. If one of the char
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

F'=2F

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them:

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

In this case, we have q_1'=2q_1:

F'=\frac{kq'_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=\frac{k(2q_1)q_2}{d^2}\\F'=2\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=2F
