The answer is A. Decreasing the distance between the particles by a factor of 3.
The Universal Law of Gravitation is :
F = Gm₁m₂ / r² (where 'r' is the distance between them)
Since force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, distance has to be decreased by a factor of 3 to increase the force to 9 times the original force.
Answer:
0.009 N, repulsive
Explanation:
The electrostatic force between two electric charges is given by:
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges
In this problem, we have
are the two charges
r = 4.5 m is their separation
Substituting into the equation, we find
Moreover, the force is repulsive. In fact, the following rules apply:
- When two charges have same sign, they repel each other
- When two charges have opposite signs, they attract each other
Answer:
black will be hotter because black paint absorbs light and white reflects it.
The magnitude of work done by the gas is 279 J and the sign is negative so W = -279 J as work is done by the system.
<u>Explanation:</u>
According to first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy of the system is equal to the sum of the heat energy added or released from the system with the work done on or by the system. If the heat energy is added to the system to perform a certain work, then the heat energy is taken as positive, while it will be negative when the heat energy is released from the system.
Similarly, in this case, the heat energy of 597 J is added to the system. So the heat energy will be positive, while the gas expansion occurs means work is done by the system.
ΔU = Q+W
Since ΔU is the change in internal energy which is given as 318 J and the heat energy added to the system is Q = 597 J.
Then the work done by the gas = ΔU - Q = 318 J - 597 J = - 279 J.
As the work is done by the system, so it will be denoted in negative sign and the magnitude of work done by the gas is 279 J.
