Answer:

0 N

Explanation:

suppose, you push a box with 5 N, and another person pushes the box on the opposite side of the box with 5 N, the net force (resultant ) is 0 N, the box will not move if it wasn't moving

hope this helps

If a car travels 216 kilometers in 4 hours, calculate its speed.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

15 m/s

Explanation:

Speed(m/s) = distance(m)/time(s)

distance = 216 km = 216,000 m

time = 4 hours = 14,400 s

speed = 216000/14400 = 15 m/s

A point charge q1q1 is held stationary at the origin. A second charge q2q2 is placed at point aa, and the electric potential ene

Yuri [45]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$U_{a} = 5.4 \times 10^{-8} J$

$W_{/text{a to b}} = -1.9 \times 10^{-8} J$

Electric potential energy ( $U_{b}$ ) = ?

Formula to calculate electric potential energy is as follows.

$U_{b} = U_{a} - W_{/text{a to b}}$

= $5.4 \times 10^{-8} J - (-1.9 \times 10^{-8} J)$

= $7.3 \times 10^{-8} J$

Thus, we can conclude that the electric potential energy of the pair of charges when the second charge is at point b is $7.3 \times 10^{-8} J$ .

Sergio [31]

Answer:

* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected

* arger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies

Explanation:

Refracting telescopes get bigger every day for two main reasons.

* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected

* the diffraction process for circular apertures is given by

θ = 1.22 λ / D

where d is the diameter of the mirror, therefore having larger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies
