What would be the electrostatic force between two charges of equal magnitude if the distance between them is halved

Biology

Answer:

the forces between the two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them

Answer:

The force becomes 4 times as much when the distance is halved.

Explanation:

F1 = k*q1 * q2/r^2 = kq^2/r^2

F2 = kq^2/1 / (r/2)^2

Set up a proportion using F1/F2 as you reference.

Notice that you don't know any number that can be used in this equation. However k q^2 does not change as you move the two charges closer together. That being so, you can still show what happens to F1 and F2.

F1/F2 = 1/r^2 // 1/(r^2/4)

Take the denominator, invert the fraction and multiply. That creates another cancellation.

F1/F2 = 1/r^2 * r^2 /4 1

F1/F2 = r^2 // r^2/4          which allows you to cancel r^2

F1/F2 = 1/4                       Now you need to interpret F1 and F2. Cross Multiply

4F1 = F2

How is the Greenpeace organization monitoring the situation with ozone?
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

By reducing the emission of CFC's gases.

Explanation:

The Greenpeace organization monitoring the situation with ozone by reducing the emission of CFC's gases that causes depletion of ozone layers. This organization reduces the use of fossil fuels and promoting renewable energy in order to prevent changes in the climate. The  Greenpeace organization ensures the use of those machines which can't produce CFCs and HFCs because one chlorine which is present in these gases destroys 100000 ozone molecules.

Variation in a trait is a required condition for natural selection to act on a population for that trait. Assuming a population
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

1. Mutation

2. Epigenetics

Explanation:

1. Mutation occurs when there is a change in an organism's DNA sequence as a result of mistakes in DNA replication or as a result of environmental factors like smoking. The mutation in a single organism can be passed on to other generations hence causing a genetic variation in the population, this obeys the Darwin's law that inherited traits (genetic) are passed on to other generations

2. Epigenetics are changes in gene expression that doesn't involve changes in the DNA sequences unlike mutation. This changes can be passed on to other generations and hence cause a variation in the population. This obeys the Lamarckian evolution that acquired traits are passed on to other generations.

A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke.
