Answer:

OC The electric force between them decreases.

Explanation:

Electric force is a force due to charges which charged objects exert on each other. The charged objects A and B thus exert a definite force on each other which its value can be varied by varying the distance between them.

It is goo to note that the force between two charges is inversely proportional the the square of the distance between them. Thus when the distance is increased, the electric force would decease.

In the given question, option C is appropriate.

A person, with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strike the concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from t

marishachu [46]

Answer:

The impact occured at a distance of 2478.585 meters from the person.

Explanation:

(After some research on web, we conclude that problem is not incomplete) The element "Part A" may lead to the false idea that question is incomplete. Correct form is presented below:

<em>A person, with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strike the concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from the impact: one travels in the air and the other in the concrete, and they are 6.4 seconds apart. How far away did the impact occur? (Sound speed in the air: 343 meters per second, sound speed in concrete: 3000 meters per second)</em>

Sound is a manifestation of mechanical waves, which needs a medium to propagate themselves. Depending on the material, sound will take more or less time to travel a given distance. From statement, we know this time difference between air and concrete ( $\Delta t$ ), in seconds:

$\Delta t = t_{A}-t_{C}$ (1)

Where:

$t_{C}$ - Time spent by the sound in concrete, in seconds.

$t_{A}$ - Time spent by the sound in the air, in seconds.

By suposing that sound travels the same distance and at constant speed in both materials, we have the following expression:

$\Delta t = \frac{x}{v_{A}}-\frac{x}{v_{C}}$

$\Delta t = x\cdot \left(\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}} \right)$

$x = \frac{\Delta t}{\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}} }$ (2)

Where:

$v_{C}$ - Speed of the sound in concrete, in meters per second.

$v_{A}$ - Speed of the sound in the air, in meters per second.

$x$ - Distance traveled by the sound, in meters.

If we know that $\Delta t = 6.4\,s$ , $v_{C} = 3000\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{A} = 343\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the distance travelled by the sound is:

$x = \frac{\Delta t}{\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}} }$

$x = 2478.585\,m$

The impact occured at a distance of 2478.585 meters from the person.

Two forces,one of 12 N and another of 24 N,act on a body in such a way that they make an angle of 90degree with each other.Find

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

26.83 N.

Explanation:

If the angle between two vector is 90°, to get the resultant, we use Pythagoras theorem.

a² = b²+c²......................... Equation 1

Where a = R = Resultant, b = 12 N, c = 24 N.

Substitute these values into equation 1

R² = 12²+24²

R² = 144+576

R² = 720

√R² = √720

R = 26.83 N.

Hence, the result of the two force is 26.83 N.

The distance between two particles is 2 centimeters. If the distance is increased to 4 centimeters, the force will be ?

postnew [5]

Answer:

The new force is 1/4 of the previous force.

Explanation:

Given

$Initial\ Distance = 2cm$ ---- $r_1$

$New\ Distance = 4cm$ --- $r_2$

Required

Determine the new force

Let the two particles be q1 and q2.

The initial force F1 is:

$F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2}$ --- Coulomb's law

Substitute 2 for r1

$F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{2^2}$

$F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4}$

The new force (F2) is

$F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_2^2}$

Substitute 4 for r2

$F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4^2}$

$F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4*4}$

$F_2 = \frac{1}{4}*\frac{kq_1q_2}{4}$

Substitute $F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4}$

$F_2 = \frac{1}{4}*F_1$

$F_2 = \frac{F_1}{4}$

The new force is 1/4 of the previous force.

Determine the mass of Ar in 1.00 liter of a gas mixture at 25oC which contains 0.300 atm of Ne and has a total pressure of 4.00

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The mass of Ar is 36.91g

Explanation:

The gas mixture consist of Neon(Ne) and Argon(Ar)

Partial pressure of Ar = total pressure of mixture - partial pressure = 4 - 0.3 = 3.7 atm

Mole fraction of Ar = partial pressure of Ar ÷ total pressure of mixture = 3.7/4 = 0.925

Mass of Ar = 0.925 × molecular weight of Ar = 0.925 × 39.9 = 36.91g
