Answer:

B) \frac{2}{3}

Explanation:

The electric force between charges can be determined by;

F = \frac{kq_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2} }

Where: F is the force, k is the Coulomb's constant, q_{1} is the value of the first charge, q_{2} is the value of the second charge, r is the distance between the centers of the charges.

Let the original charge be represented by q, so that;

q_{1} = 2q

q_{2} = \frac{q}{3}

So that,

F = q_{1}q_{2} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = 2q x \frac{q}{3} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = \frac{2q^{2} }{3} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = \frac{2}{3} x \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

F = \frac{2}{3} x \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

The electric force between the given charges would change by \frac{2}{3}.

The carbon atom with 12 protons and 12 electrons has a charge of:
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Isotopes are the elements having the same atomic number i.e same number of protons which in turn is equal to same number of electrons. Number of protons and electrons are equal as the atom is electrically neutral. So, the only option is A.

I hope it helps you !

Importance of liquid pressure
trapecia [35]

Answer:

hope it helps...

Explanation:

Both the water in the ocean and the air in the atmosphere exert pressure because of their moving particles. ... This causes greater pressure. Denser fluids such as water exert more pressure than less dense fluids such as air. The particles of denser fluids are closer together, so there are more collisions in a given area.

The number of confirmed exoplanets is (a) less than 10; (b) roughly 50; (c) more than 500; (d) more than 5000.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

(c) more than 500

Explanation:

Until 2019, more than 3000 planetary systems have been discovered that contain more than 4000 exoplanets, since some of these systems contain multiple planets. Most known extrasolar planets are gas giants equal to or more massive than the planet Jupiter, with orbits very close to its star.
