Answer:

b. The normal force between the molecules of the paper is overcome by the contact force of the hands.

Explanation:

The paper molecules are held together by a weak bond. When the student holds the paper on both sides with the center of the paper in between, the student applies two equal forces in the opposite direction of the paper making the paper molecules weaken and separate.

Answer:

The electrostatic forces from the contact of the hands with the paper causes the paper molecules to separate.

Here's the rest of the answers

1.) Which statement is correct about the strength of forces?

Electrostatic forces are trillions of times stronger than gravitational forces.

2.) A student tries to push a book across a table. Which forces acting on the book are a result of electrostatic forces?

normal force and friction

3.) What type of force can explain how a gecko climbs up a wall?

contact forces

5.) A heavy hammer is sitting on top of a board. Which statement correctly describes why the hammer does not go through the board?

The electrostatic forces between the molecules of the board prevent the force of gravity from breaking the board apart.

A point charge q1 = 4.50 nC is located on the x-axis at x = 1.95 m , and a second point charge q2 = -6.80 nC is on the y-axis at

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Explanation:

One charge is situated at x = 1.95 m . Second charge is situated at y = 1.00 m

These two charges are situated outside sphere as it has radius of .365 m with center at origin. So charge inside sphere = zero.

Applying Gauss's theorem

Flux through spherical surface = charge inside sphere / ε₀

= 0 / ε₀

= 0 Ans .

A satellite with mass 6000 kg is orbiting the planet at 2500 km above the planet's

9966 [12]

By the law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force F between the satellite (mass m) and planet (mass M) is

F = G M m / R ²

where

• G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg•s²) is the universal gravitation constant

• R = 2500 km + 5000 km = 7500 km is the distance between the satellite and the center of the planet

Solve for M :

M = F R ² / (G m)

M = ((3 × 10⁴ N) (75 × 10⁵ m)²) / (G (6 × 10³ kg))

M ≈ 2.8 × 10¹⁴ kg

zmey [24]

This statement is true. The point located at the geometric center of an object is indeed called the object's center of gravity. Center of gravity is the average of the weight of a resultant of the parallel forces, including all the particles that is passing through its body.

It is dangerous to stand near the railway leak when train passing by,why?

Harman [31]

It is dangerous to stand close to railroad tracks when a rapidly moving commuter train passes. Explain why atmospheric pressure would push you toward the moving train. Water pressure inside a hose nozzle can be less than atmospheric pressure due to the Bernoulli effect.

Pls brainliest!? :)
