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

At the end of winter where might you look for diatoms?
mezya [45]
At the end of the winter they are most numerous in fresh water. they will cover surface of aquatic plants or poles and wooden borders of ponds. If you like to study them you can scrape the brown growth with a flat piece of plastic. you can also use a sponge. for the free living (plankton) species fine mesh plankton net is very useful.

Which of the following correctly describes Metaphase?
natima [27]

During the metaphase, chromosomes are taken to the equatorial plane, were they randomly line up. Option B. Mitotic spindle attaches to the chromosome's centromeres and lines them up in the middle of the cell.

<h3>What is the metaphase?</h3>

Metaphase is one of the cell division stages that follows the prophase and precedes the anaphase.

During this phase, chromosomes are taken toward the center of the cell by the spindle apparatus. Once in the equatorial plane, chromosomes randomly line up.

Once aligned, each chromatid joins with a microtubule of opposites poles and gets ready to go through the anaphase. Sister chromatids are held together until they reach the Anaphase.

Since chromosomes in this stage are well defined and can be observed in detail under the microscope, they are used to create karyotypes and identify chromosomal abnormalities.

These chromosomes have the typical X shape.

Among the options, the one that correctly describes the metaphase is Option is B. Mitotic spindle attaches to the chromosome's centromeres and lines them up in the middle of the cell.
