Answer:

Option B. Decreases

Explanation:

Coulomb's law states that:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

Where:

F => is the force of attraction between two charges

K => is the electrical constant.

q₁ and q₂ => are the two charges

r => is the distance apart.

From the formula:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

The force of attraction (F) is inversely proportional to the square of their separating distance (r).

This implies that as the distance between them increase, the force of attraction between the two charges will decrease and as the distance between two charges decrease, the force of attraction between them will increase.

Considering the question given above and the illustration given above, the force of attraction will decrease as their distance of separation increases.

Option B gives the right answer to the question.

A toroid with a square cross section 3.0 cm ✕ 3.0 cm has an inner radius of 25.1 cm. It is wound with 600 turns of wire, and it
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

B = 1.353 x 10⁻³ T

Explanation:

The Magnetic field within a toroid is given by

B = μ₀ NI/2πr, where N is the number of turns of the wire, μ₀ is the permeability of free space, I is the current in each turn and r is the distance at which the magnetic field is to be determined from the center of the toroid.

To find r we need to add the inner radius and outer radius and divide the value by 2. Hence,

r = (a + b)/2, where a is the inner radius and b is the outer radius which can be found by adding the length of a square section to the inner radius.

b = 25.1 + 3 = 28.1 cm

a = 25.1 cm

r = (25.1 + 28.1)/2 = 26.6 cm = 0.266m

B = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 600 x 3/2π x 0.266

B = 1.353 x 10⁻³ T

The strength of the magnetic field at the center of the square cross section is 1.3 x 10⁻³ T

An astronaut is in space with a baseball and a bowling ball. The astronaut pushes both objects in the same direction. If both ba
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

As a mass greater than that of baseball, at the moment of the bowling wave the moment of the baseball ball is also greater

Explanation:

This problem is an application of momentum and momentum. When the astronaut pushed balls, he needed more force to move the ball of greater mass (bowling). The expression for soul is

      p = m v

Besibol Blade

      p1 = m1 v

Bowling ball

      p2 = m2 v

As a mass greater than that of baseball, at the moment of the bowling wave the moment of the baseball ball is also greater

      p2 >> p1

An aircraft with a mass of 10,000 kg starts from rest at sea level and takes off, then flies to a cruising speed of 620 km/h and
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The change in potential energy and kinetic energy are 980 MJ and 148.3 MJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of aircraft = 10000 kg

Speed = 620 km/h = 172.22 m/s

Altitude = 10 km = 1000 m

We calculate the change in potential energy

\Delta P.E=mg(h_{2}-h_{1})

\Delta P.E=10000\times9.8\times(10000-0)

\Delta P.E=10000\times9.8\times10000

\Delta P.E=980000000\ J

\Delta P.E=980\ MJ

For g = 10 m/s²,

The change in potential energy will be 1000 MJ.

We calculate the change in kinetic energy

\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_{2}^2-v_{1}^2)

\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times10000\times(172.22^2-0^2)

\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times10000\times(172.22^2)

\Delta K.E=148298642\ J

\Delta K.E=148.3\ MJ

For g = 10 m/s²,

The change in kinetic energy will be 150 MJ.

Hence, The change in potential energy and kinetic energy are 980 MJ and 148.3 MJ.

Why does magma rise from depth to the surface of the earth?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer

Magma is less dense compared to the surrounding rock.

the overlying rock creates pressure which forces the magma to be directed upward.

Explanation:

at high temperatures the magma is liquid form with the high energy which causes the formation of bonds and the pressure build up creates the increase  channeling of the liquid.as the temperature decreases the magma moves into the surface
