Answer:

y becomes doubled.

Explanation:

If;

       y  = \frac{k}{x}  

what is the state of y when x is halved;

  the given expression is an inverse relationship. When y increases, x is supposed to decrease and vice versa.

 

 if x is halved; x  = \frac{x}{2}

           \frac{k}{\frac{x}{2} }   = \frac{2k}{x}  

Now compare :

      \frac{k}{x}  :  \frac{2k}{x}

we see that y becomes doubled

Which. describe newtons law of univesel gravitation
Fed [463]

Newton's law of universal gravitation, says that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

Or in simple words, every particle in the world attracts each other to themselves, but the particle with most mass would attract with more force compared to a particle with less mass.

Two spheres have identical charges and are 75 cm apart. the force between them is +0.30 n. what is the magnitude of the charge o
ella [17]

Answer:

4.33\cdot 10^{-6}C, charges are both positive or both negative

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between the two spheres is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges on the two spheres

r is the distance between the centres of the two spheres

In this problem, we have

F=+0.30 N is the force

r=75 cm=0.75 m is the distance between the spheres

q_1 =q_2 =q because the two spheres have identical charge

Solving the formula for q, we find

q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(+0.30 N)(0.75 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9}}=4.33\cdot 10^{-6}C

And the two charges have the same sign (so, both positive or both negative), since the sign of the force is positive (+0.30 N), so it is a repulsive force.

Archaeologists use the radioactive decay of carbon-14 to estimate the age of fossils and can be used on samples of bone, cloth,
timama [110]
The answer should be 11,460 because the first half-life leaves 50 percent left and the next half-life would leave 25 percent which dates the bones at 11,460 years old.
