Answer:

New force = 2.688 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Two charged particles exert a force of 0.042 N on each other.

Let the initial distance is r. Later the particles are moved such that they are now one-eighth as far apart.

New distance, r' = (r/8)

The force between particles is given by :

F'=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r'^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{(\dfrac{r}{8})^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{\dfrac{r^2}{64}}\\\\F'=64\times \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\F'=64\times F\\\\F'=64\times 0.042\\\\F'=2.688\ N

So, the new force is 2.688 N.

One end of a 34-m unstretchable rope is tied to a tree; the other end is tied to a car stuck in the mud. The motorist pulls side
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Fc = 89.67N

Explanation:

Since the rope is unstretchable, the total length will always be 34m.

From the attached diagram, you can see that we can calculate the new separation distance from the tree and the stucked car H as follows:

L1+L2=34m

L1^2=L2^2=L^2=2^2+(H/2)^2  Replacing this value in the previous equation:

\sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}+ \sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}=34  Solving for H:

H=\sqrt{52}

We can now, calculate the angle between L1 and the 2m segment:

\alpha = atan(\frac{H/2}{2})=60.98°

If we make a sum of forces in the midpoint of the rope we get:

-2*T*cos(\alpha ) + F = 0  where T is the tension on the rope and F is the exerted force of 87N.

Solving for T, we get the tension on the rope which is equal to the force exerted on the car:

T=Fc=\frac{F}{2*cos(\alpha) } = 89.67N

Which statement best describes the law of conservation of energy?
Phantasy [73]
<span>The correct option is C. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. This statement is known as law of conservation of energy, and it implies that whenever a certain form of energy does change, the loss of this form of energy must have converted into an another type of energy. A typical example is an object falling to the ground: initially, the object has gravitational potential energy. As the object falls down, it loses potential energy (since its altitude from the grounf decreases), but it acquires kinetic energy (because its velocity increases). In this example, potential energy has converted into kinetic energy, but the total energy of the object has remained constant.</span>

The number of different species in the biosphere or in a particular area is called
Arada [10]

Answer:

Biodiversity.

Explanation:

The number of different species in a particular area is known as biodiversity. Blue whales, plants, different kind of animals, and micro-organism living in an ocean is the example of biodiversity. In biodiversity each specie has its own role. For example, if a biodiversity has large number of plants (species), it will have many type of crops.
