Answer:
d) It will be cut to a fourth of the original force.
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between the charged objects is
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects
r is the separation between the two objects
In this problem, the initial distance is doubled, so
r' = 2r
Therefore, the new electrostatic force will be
So, the force will be cut to 1/4 of the original value.
First choice: the inability of current technology to capture
large amounts of the
Sun's energy
Well, it's true that large amounts of it get away ... our 'efficiency' at capturing it is still rather low. But the amount of free energy we're able to capture is still huge and significant, so this isn't really a major problem.
Second choice: the inability of current technology to store
captured solar
energy
No. We're pretty good at building batteries to store small amounts, or raising water to store large amounts. Storage could be better and cheaper than it is, but we can store huge amounts of captured solar energy right now, so this isn't a major problem either.
Third choice: inconsistencies in the availability of the resource
I think this is it. If we come to depend on solar energy, then we're
expectedly out of luck at night, and we may unexpectedly be out
of luck during long periods of overcast skies.
Fourth choice: lack of
demand for solar energy
If there is a lack of demand, it's purely a result of willful manipulation
of the market by those whose interests are hurt by solar energy.
Answer:
This can be translated to:
"find the electrical charge of a body that has 1 million of particles".
First, it will depend on the charge of the particles.
If all the particles have 1 electron more than protons, we will have that the charge of each particle is q = -e = -1.6*10^-19 C
Then the total charge of the body will be:
Q = 1,000,000*-1.6*10^-19 C = -1.6*10^-13 C
If we have the inverse case, where we in each particle we have one more proton than the number of electrons, the total charge will be the opposite of the one of before (because the charge of a proton is equal in magnitude but different in sign than the charge of an electron)
Q = 1.6*10^-13 C
But commonly, we will have a spectrum with the particles, where some of them have a positive charge and some of them will have a negative charge, so we will have a probability of charge that is peaked at Q = 0, this means that, in average, the charge of the particles is canceled by the interaction between them.
Answer:
Temperature decreases because the number of collision of the molecules decreases as they escape or evaporate. Molecules are in constant motion. Increase in temperature leads to increase in average kinetic energy of the molecules.
<span>The answer is a heterogeneous mixture. Mixtures can be homogeneous and heterogeneous. If a solid and a liquid of a mixture cannot be separated and the difference between them is not visible, it is called homogeneous mixture (or solution). If a solid and a liquid of a mixture are visible and can be separated easily, the mixture is called heterogeneous.</span>
