The answer to your question is in fact <u>True</u>

Why?

Sound waves can only travel through things like water, walls, and solids. so sound cannot travel through space because there is no matter for the vibrations of the sound to work in.

Which of the following is a TRUE statement?

pshichka [43]

Answer:

e. All of these statements are false.

Explanation:

As we know that heat transfer take place from high temperature to low temperature.

It is possible to convert all work into heat but it is not possible to convert all heat in to work some heat will be reject to the surrounding.

The first law of thermodynamics is the energy conservation law.

Second law of thermodynamics states that it is impossible to construct a device which convert all energy into work without rejecting the heat to the surrounding.

By using heat pump ,heat can transfer from cooler body to the hotter body.

Therefore all the answer is False.

just want to double-check that you understand a practical consequence of the expansion of the universe. Light reaches us from a

Daniel [21]

Answer:

<em>The distance of the light is 9.4608 x 10^25 m</em>

Explanation:

Time taken by the light = 10 billion years = 10 x 10^9 years

speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

speed of light in m/years is = (3 x 10^8)/(60 x 60 x 24 x 365) = 9.4608 x 10^15 m/year

distance = speed x time

therefore, the distance of this light = 10 x 10^9 x 9.461 x 10^15 = <em>9.4608 x 10^25 m</em>

In complete sentences, describe what causes the phases of the moon. (4 points)

g100num [7]

The light from the sun is reflected by the moon, we see the part of the moon that the sun shines on.The change in the phases are created from the rotation of the moon around earth.We see a full moon when the sun is opposite of the moon. The side the sun shines on the moon is what we see.

A. Draw the electric field lines around a negative charge.

Alborosie

<h2>a. Answer:</h2>

We use Electric field lines for visualizing electric fields, so this helps us to see the problem more real. So an electric field line is an imaginary line or curve drawn through a region of space such that the tangent at any point comes from the direction of the electric-field vector at that point. The electric field lines around a negative charge is shown in the First figure below.

<h2>b. Answer:</h2>

Electric forces can be found by using the Coulomb Law's that states <em>that The magnitude of the electric force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. </em>This can be expressed as follows:

$F=k\frac{\left | q_{1}q_{2} \right |}{r^2} \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ k=9\times 10^9Nm^2/c^2 \\ \\ q_{1}=0.00150 C \ and \ q_{2}=0.00240 C \\ \\ r=0.900 m$

Then:

$F=9\times 10^9\frac{\left | 0.00150 \times 0.00240 \right |}{(0.900)^2} \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{F=40000N}$

This force is repulsive because the two charges are positive and recall that two positive charges or two negative charges repel each other while a positive charge and a negative charge attract each other.

<h2>C. Answer:</h2>

From the statement, we have two charged objects. Let's say that this charges are:

$q_{1} \ and \ q_{2}$

If the amount of charge on one of the objects is tripled, let's say this is the charge $q_{2}$ , then the new charge is:

$q_{N}=3q_{2}$

In the formula of Coulomb:

$F=k\frac{\left | q_{1}q_{N} \right |}{r^2} \\ \\ \therefore F=k\frac{\left | q_{1}(3q_{2}) \right |}{r^2} \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{F=3k\frac{\left | q_{1}q_{2} \right |}{r^2}}$

<em>The conclusion is that if the amount of charge on one of the objects is tripled, the electric force between two charged objects is also tripled</em>

<h2>d. Answer:</h2>

Let's use the Coulomb's Law again to solve this problem. We want to know how the electric force between two charged objects changes if the charges are moved closer together:

$F=k\frac{\left | q_{1}q_{N} \right |}{r^2}$

<em>By saying that the charges are moved closer together, we want to express that r becomes smaller. Since r is in the denominator, this implies that the electric force between these two charged objects becomes greater.</em>

<h2>e. Answer:</h2>

From the figure, we can see a metal sphere on a stand. There we have both positive and negative charges. We can say that the positive charge of this sphere is +10q and the negative and the negative charge is -10q. Since the electric charge is conserved, then the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant. In conclusion, <em>the sphere has no net charge.</em>

<h2>f. Answer:</h2>

Here we want to know how the negative charges in the same sphere are redistributed when a positively charged rod is brought near it. Therefore, positive charge on rod repels positive charges on the sphere, creating zones of negative and positive charge as indicated in the second Figure.
