Answer:

the distance between the two point charges will be reduced by a factor of  \frac{1}{\sqrt{5} } = 0.447

Explanation:

The force between two point charges is given by Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{kQ_1Q_2}{r^2}

where;

k is Coulomb's constant

Q₁ and Q₂ are two point charges

r is the distance between the two charges

From the equation above, the following relationship between force and distance can be deduced;

F₁r₁² = F₂r₂²

F₁r₁² = (5F₁)r₂²

r₁² = 5r₂²

r_2^2 = \frac{r_1^2}{5} \\\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{r_1^2}{5}} \\\\r_2 = \frac{r_1}{\sqrt{5} } \\\\r_2 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5} } \ r_1\\\\r_2 = 0.447( r_1)

Thus, the distance between the two point charges will be reduced by a factor of  \frac{1}{\sqrt{5} } = 0.447

Answer:

C) Burmese pythons lack natural predators and can utilize a wide variety of food sources in the Everglades.

Explanation:

Due to it being an invasive specie (naturally found in South Asia), and also one of the five largest species of snakes in the world, the Burmese pythons lack natural predators in this new territories.

The Burmese viper is also an opportunistic hunter and would eat anything it can overpower, it easily made a wide range of food varieties in these swamps.

[TRUE/FALSE] If an object is moving at constant velocity it must be in equilibrium.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

objects with constant velocity also have zero net external force. this means the forces on the object are balanced. this mean they are in equilibrium

The USDA recommends that women consume about 2000 Calories per day and men consume about 2500 Calories per day. How much average
professor190 [17]

Answer:

   1500 W to 2200 W

Explanation:

Every person does work in his daily day to day life. A person needs energy in order to perform work. And the energy consumed by an individual while performing a daily work is directly responsible to the mount of oxygen consumed by the person.

The USDA is the federal agency which looks after the food and agriculture matters of the US government. It deals with and formulates different policies and laws for the country and it s people. It recommends about 2000 calories per day for women and for men it recommends about 2500 calorie per days of food intake.

Accordingly, the average power required by a human body for doing regular work is in the range of 1500 W to 2200 W.

What effect would this have on the momentum?
Mariana [72]
Momentum describes an object in motion and is determined by the product of two variables: mass and velocity. Mass -- the weight of an object -- is usually measured in kilograms or grams for momentum problems. Velocity is the measure of distance traveled over time and is normally reported in meters per second. Examining the possible changes in these two variables identifies the different effects momentum can have on an object in motion.
