Answer:

Vinegar is a homogenous mixture of acetic acid and water. As the mixture created has only one phase it is a solution. ... There are no chemical bonds created between water and the acid and it is possible to separate the two without breaking any chemical bonds.

Two point charges exert a 7.35 N force on each other. What will the force become if the distance between them is increased by a

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer :

New force becomes, F' = 1.83 N

Explanation:

Let two point charges exert a force of 7.35 N force on each other. The electric force between two charges is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$q_1\ and\ q_2$ are charges

r is the distance between charges if the distance between them is increased by a factor of 2, r' = 2r

New force is given by :

$F'=\dfrac{kq^2}{r'^2}$

$F'=\dfrac{kq^2}{(2r)^2}$

$F'=\dfrac{1}{4}\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$

$F'=\dfrac{1}{4}\times 7.35$

F' = 1.83 N

So, the new force between charges will be 1.83 N. Therefore, this is the required solution.

Suppose you have two small pith balls that are 5.5 cm apart and have equal charges of -29 nc?

zysi [14]

The question is missing, however, I guess the problem is asking for the value of the force acting between the two balls.

The Coulomb force between the two balls is:
$F= k_e \frac{ q_1 q_2}{r^2}$
where $k_e=8.99\cdot10^9~N m^2 C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant, $q_1=q_2=29~nC=29\cdot 10^{-9}~C$ is the intensity of the two charges, and $r=5.5~cm=0.055~m$ is the distance between them.

Substituting these numbers into the equation, we get
$F=2.5~10^{-3}~N$

The force is repulsive, because the charges have same sign and so they repel each other.

Two horizontal rods are each held up by vertical strings tied to their ends. Rod 1 has length L and mass M; rod 2 has length 2L

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Rod 1 has greater initial angular acceleration; The initial angular acceleration for rod 1 is greater than for rod 2.

Explanation:

For the rod 1 the angular acceleration is

$\tau_1 = I_1\alpha _1 \\\\\alpha_1 = \dfrac{\tau_1}{I_1}$

Similarly, for rod 2

$\alpha_2 = \dfrac{\tau_2}{I_2}.$

Now, the moment of inertia for rod 1 is

$I_1 = \dfrac{1}{3}ML^2$ ,

and the torque acting on it is (about the center of mass)

$\tau_1 = Mg\dfrac{L}{2};$

therefore, the angular acceleration of rod 1 is

$\alpha_1 = \dfrac{Mg\dfrac{L}{2}}{\dfrac{1}{3}ML^2},$

$\boxed{\alpha_1 = \dfrac{3g}{2L} }$

Now, for rod 2 the moment of inertia is

$I_2 = \dfrac{1}{3}(2M)(2L)^2$

$I_2 = \dfrac{8}{3} ML^2,$

and the torque acting is (about the center of mass)

$\tau _2 = (2M)g \dfrac{(2L)}{2}$

$\tau _2 = 2MgL;$

therefore, the angular acceleration $\alpha_2$ is

$\alpha_2 = \dfrac{2MgL;}{\dfrac{8}{3} ML^2,}.$

$\boxed{\alpha_2 = \dfrac{3g}{4L}}$

We see here that

$\dfrac{3g}{2L} > \dfrac{3g}{4L}$

therefore

$\boxed{\alpha_1 > \alpha_2.}$

In other words , the initial angular acceleration for rod 1 is greater than for rod 2.

(ik it says physics but astronomy is a field of physics sooo) A recently discovered planet in a different solar system is locate

marusya05 [52]

The distance, to the nearest tenth, is 314.9 light-years.

<em>The given data is:</em>

A recently discovered planet is located 1.85*10^5 miles from Earth.

Now we want to transform this distance to light-years.

Remember that a light-year is defined as "the distance that the light would travel in one year".

using the relation:

distance = speed*time

The speed of light is:

speed = 6.706*10^8 mi/h

And in one year has 8760 hours, then we have:

time = 8760 h

replacing these in the equation we get:

distance = speed*time

distance = (6.706*10^8 mi/h)*(8760 h) = 5,874,456,000,000 miles

Son one light-year is equivalent to 5,874,456,000,000 miles

1 light-year = 5,874,456,000,000 miles

So to transform a distance in miles to light-years, we just need to divide that distance by 5,874,456,000,000 miles:

The distance between the new planet and Earth was:

D = 1.85*10^15 mi = ( 1.85*10^15)/(5,874,456,000,000) = 314.9 light-years.

Insert

nordsb [41]

A) 320 count/min

B) 40 count/min

C) 80 count/min, 11400 years

Explanation:

The activity of a radioactive sample is the number of decays per second in the sample.

The activity of a sample is therefore directly proportional to the number of nuclei in the sample:

$A\propto N$

where A is the activity and N the number of nuclei.

As a consequence, since the number of nuclei is proportional to the mass of the sample, the activity is also directly proportional to the mass of the sample:

$A\propto m$

where m is the mass of the sample.

In this problem:

- When the mass is $m_1 = 1 g$ , the activity is $A_1=16 count/min$

- When the mass is $m_2=20 g$ , the activity is $A_2$

So we can find A2 by using the rule of three:

$\frac{A_1}{m_1}=\frac{A_2}{m_2}\\A_2=A_1 \frac{m_2}{m_1}=(16)\frac{20}{1}=320 count/min$

The equation describing the activity of a radioactive sample as a function of time is:

$A(t)= A_0 e^{-\lambda t}$ (1)

where

$A_0$ is the initial activity at time t = 0

t is the time

$\lambda$ is the decay constant, which gives the probability of decay

The decay constant can be found using the equation

$\lambda = \frac{ln2}{t_{1/2}}$

where $t_{1/2}$ is the half-life, which is the amount of time it takes for the radioactive sample to halve its activity.

In this problem, carbon-14 has half-life of

$t_{1/2}=5700 y$

So its decay constant is

$\lambda=\frac{ln2}{5700}=1.22\cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}$

We also know that the tree died

t = 17,100 years ago

and that the initial activity was

$A_0 = 320 count/min$ (value calculated in part A, corresponding to a mass of 20 g)

So, substituting into eq(1), we find the new activity:

$A(17,100) = (320)e^{-(1.22\cdot 10^{-4})(17,100)}=40 count/min$

We know that a sample of living wood has an activity of

$A=16 count/min$ per 1 g of mass.

Here we have 5 g of mass, therefore the activity of the sample when it was living was:

$A_0 = A\cdot 5 = (16)(5)=80 count/min$

Moreover, here we have a sample of 5 g, with current activity of $A=20 count/min$ : it means that its activity per gram of mass is

$A'=\frac{20}{5}=4 count/min$

We know that the activity halves after every half-life: Here the activity has became 1/4 of the original value, this means that 2 half-lives have passed, because:

- After 1 half-life, the activity drops from 16 count/min to 8 count/min

- After 2 half-lives, the activity dropd to 4 count/min

So the age of the wood is equal to 2 half-lives, which is:

$t=2t_{1/2}=2(5700)=11,400 y$
