Answer:

Explanation:

Thomas Young (1773 − 1829) first introduced the word “energy” to the field of physics in 1800, but the word did not gain popularity. Thomas Young later established the wave nature of light through interference experiments.

Answer:

June 1849 - James Prescott Joule

Explanation:

James Joule is the physicist who discovered the relationship between the loss of mechanical energy and the gain of heat. If an object contains mechanical energy, then it has the ability to do work.

Two point charges totaling 8 μC exert a repulsive force of 0.15 N on one another when separated by 0.5 m. What is the charge on

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

B. 7.4 x 10⁻⁶ C, 0.6 x 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

From Coulomb's Law the electrostatic repulsive force is given by the following formula:

F = kq₁q₂/r²

where,

F = Repulsive Force = 0.15 N

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q₁ = Magnitude of 1st Charge = ?

q₂ = Magnitude of 2nd Charge = ?

r = Distance between Charges = 0.5 m

Therefore,

0.15 N = (9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²)q₁q₂/(0.5 m)²

q₁q₂ = (0.15 N)(0.5 m)²/(9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²)

q₁q₂ = 4.17 x 10⁻¹²

q₁ = (4.17 x 10⁻¹²)/q₂ -------------------- equation (1)

The sum of charges is given as:

q₁ + q₂ = 8 μC

q₁ + q₂ = 8 x 10⁻⁶

using equation (1):

(4.17 x 10⁻¹²)/q₂ + q₂ = 8 x 10⁻⁶

(4.17 x 10⁻¹²) + q₂² = 8 x 10⁻⁶ q₂

q₂² - (8 x 10⁻⁶) q₂ + (4.17 x 10⁻¹²) = 0

Solving this quadratic equation:

q₂ = 7.4 x 10⁻⁶ C (OR) q₂ = 0.56 x 10⁻⁶ C

q₂ = 7.4 μC (OR) q₂ = 0.6 μC

Therefore,

q₁ = (4.17 x 10⁻¹² C)/(7.4 x 10⁻⁶ C)

q₁ = 0.6μC

Now, if we solve with q₂ = 0.6 μC, we will get q₁ = 7.4 μC.

Therefore, the correct option will be:

A typical garden hose has an inner diameter of 5/8". Let's say you connect it to a faucet and the water comes out of the hose wi

castortr0y [4]

Since speed (v) is in ft/sec, let's convert our diameters from inches to feet:
1) 5/8in = 0.625in
0.625in × 1ft/12in = 0.0521ft
2) 0.25in × 1ft/12in = 0.021ft
Equation:
$v = 4q \div ( {d}^{2} \pi) \: where \: q = flow \\ v = velocity \: (speed) \: and \: \\ d = diameter \: of \: pipe \: or \: hose \\ and \: \pi = 3.142$
$we \: can \: only \: assume \:that \\ flow \: (q) \:stays \: same \: since \: it \\ isnt \: impeded \: by \: anything \\ thus \:it \: (q)\: stays \: the \: same \: \\ so \: 4q \: can \: be \: removed \: from \: \\ the \: equation$
$then \: we \: can \: assume \: that \: only \\ v \: and \: d \: change \: leading \:us \: to > > \\ (v1 \times {d1}^{2} \pi) = (v2 \times {d2}^{2}\pi)$
$both \: \pi \: will \: cancel \: each \: other \: out \: \\ as \: constants \:since \: one \: is \: on \\ each \: side \: of \: the \: =$

$(v1 \times {d1}^{2}) = (v2 \ \times {d2}^{2}) \\ (7.0 \times {0.052}^{2}) = (v2 \times {0.021}^{2}) \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: {0.021}^{2} \\ to \: solve \: for \: v2 > >$
$v2 = (7.0)( {0.052}^{2} ) \div ( {0.021}^{2}) \\ v2 = (7.0)(.0027) \div (.00043) \\ v2 = 44 \: feet \: per \: second$
new velocity coming out of the hose then is
44 ft/sec

state whether the table represents a relation function both or neither x y 4 -20 1 -17 4 -14 16 5 10 0 -19 -16

MakcuM [25]

state, whether the table represents a relation function both or neither x y 4 -20 1 -17 4 -14 16 5 10 0 -19 -16 Reconstruction was successful in that it allowed the United States to once again function as a single country by 1877. The states' rights vs. federalism controversy, which had been a point of contention since the 1790s, was also eventually resolved during reconstruction.

By most other standards, reconstruction was a failure: radical Republican legislation eventually failed to shield former slaves from white persecution and to bring about significant alterations to the South's socioeconomic structure. The federalism question, which had been a topic since the 1790s practically immediately, was at hand when President Rutherford B. Former Confederate officials and slaves returned to the South after Hayes withdrew federal soldiers from the region in 1877. These newly powerful white southern legislators established anti-progressive laws like voter ID requirements and black codes with the help of a conservative Supreme Court in an effort to roll back the rights that blacks had won during Radical Reconstruction. With its rulings in the Slaughterhouse Cases, the Civil Rights Cases, and United States v., the U.S. Supreme Court strengthened this anti-progressive movement federalism.
