Answer:

18 N

Explanation:

Force can be found using the following formula.

f= m*a

where m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

We know the desk has a mass of 36 kilograms. We also know that its acceleration is 0.5 m/s^2.

m= 36 kg

a= 0.5 m/s^2

Substitute these values into the formula.

f= 36 kg * 0.5 m/s^2

Multiply 36 and 0.5

f=18 kg m/s^2

1 kg m/s^2 is equivalent to 1 Newton, or N.

f= 18 Newtons

The force being applied is 18 kg m/s^2, Newtons, or N

Answer:

$7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is attractive if the charges have opposite sign and repulsive if the charges have same sign.

In this problem, we have:

$r=0.070 cm =7\cdot 10^{-4} m$ is the distance between the charges

$q_1=q_2=q$ since the charges are identical

$F=9.0\cdot 10^{-9}N$ is the force between the charges

Re-arranging the equation and solving for q, we find the charge on each drop:

$F=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9.0\cdot 10^{-9})(7\cdot 10^{-4})^2}{8.99\cdot 10^9}}=7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C$

aev [14]

Answer:

where the y axis is

Explanation:

In more simple terms, a horizontal line on any chart is where the y-axis values are equal. If it has been drawn to show a series of highs in the data, a data point moving above the horizontal line would indicate a rise in the y-axis value over recent values in the data sample.

NeTakaya

Answer:

a change in color
the formation of a precipitate
the formation of bubbles

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, there is always a rearrangement of atoms within the molecules of reactants to form new products. Such a change is different from changes in the physical form of molecules, e.g. shape.

Thus, according to this criteria, only three options are correct in the given question. A change in color is definitely an indication of chemical reaction because the emission of light before and after cannot be changed unless molecules are rearranged to form a new chemical. Likewise, precipitates form when a reaction takes place between chemically dissolved molecules to form less or not dissolvable compounds. In the end, the configuration of bubbles also indicates that the reaction has taken place because new gases are being released.

On the other hand, change in shape is a physical change because the composition doesn't need to also been changed. An example is the ice formation from water. Same is the case with "change of clear liquid to cloudy" because the addition of non-reactive substances could change the nature of liquid to cloudy however the reaction doesn't need to have taken place.
