The easiest way I know to explain it is this:
-- Take a flashlight and a ball into a dark room.
-- Turn on the flashlight and point it at the ball.
-- Half of the ball is lighted up by the flashlight, and the other half is dark.
-- There is no way you can turn or twist the ball to make more or less
than 50% of it lighted up and more or less than 50% of it dark.
<em>Everything</em> in the solar system ... as long as it's shaped like a ball ... is
half illuminated by the sun and half dark.
Answer:
F' = (4/9)F
Explanation:
The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's Law:
F = kq₁q₂/r² -------------------- equation (1)
where,
F = Electrostatic Force
k = Coulomb's Constant
q₁ = magnitude of first charge
q₂ = magnitude of second charge
r = distance between charges
Now, when the charges and distance altered as follows:
q₁' = 2q₁
q₂' = 2q₂
r' = 3r
Then,
F' = kq₁'q₂'/r'²
F' = k(2q₁)(2q₂)/(3r)²
F' = (4/9)kq₁q₂/r²
using equation (1):
<u>F' = (4/9)F</u>
Answer:
Cork
Explanation:
Cork is a solid, other ones are fluid.
Answer:
The artifact is 11,460 years old.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Given that,
The half life of the carbon-14 is 5730 years and we are left with 255 of the sample of wood from an arti-fact.
So it takes 5730 years for the sample to reduce into half
Initially there will be 100% of the sample so
after first 5730 years, the sample reduces into 50% percent
Now the left 50% sample will take another 5730 years to decay into half of its amount.
after next 5730 years the sample reduces into 25% percent
So totally after 2 half-life the sample reduces into 25%
That is (5730 +5730) years = 11460 years
