Answer:

2.16×10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = kqq'/r² (coulomb's Law)....................... Equation 1

Where F = electrostatic force, k = coulomb's constant, q = charge on the styrofoam, q' = charge on the grain of salt, r = distance between the charges.

From the question,

Given: q = 0.002 mC = 2.0×10⁻⁶ C, q' = 0.03 nC = 3.0×10⁻¹¹ C, r = 0.5 m

Constant: k = 8.99×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = (2.0×10⁻⁶)(3.0×10⁻¹¹)(8.99×10⁹)/0.5²

F = 2.16×10⁻⁶ N

This chart lists four examples of two objects that are in contact.
Oxana [17]

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand the direction of heat flow.

Heat is the transferred thermal energy from one body to another body due to the temperature difference just like water flows from higher level to lower level.

Whenever two bodies having different temperature come closer to each other heat will flow from hotter body to cooler one if no external work is done. The heat flow may be through any of the ways i.e conduction,radiation or convection. Hence temperature difference is the parameter which gives the direction of heat flow.

The temperature is also considered as a measure of average kinetic energy of the substance.The thermal energy does not give the direction heat flow. Heat may  flow from the body  having low thermal energy but at higher temperature to the body having higher thermal energy but at low temperature. The reverse does not happen naturally .

In example 1 there is fire and air. Obviously fire is at high temperature and air at low temperature.So heat will flow from object 1 to object 2.

In example 2 there is a metal at 80 degree Celsius and another metal at 12 degree Celsius .So heat will flow from object 1 to object 2

In example 3 we have cooler ocean and warm air. So the heat will flow from object 2 to object 1.

In example 4 we have a tool with high thermal energy and a material with little thermal energy.We already know that thermal energy can not determine the direction of heat flow. Here the temperature of each substance is not given.The kinetic energy is  part of thermal energy.So there is the chance of higher kinetic energy of the tool for having higher thermal energy .At that time the heat will flow object 1 to object 2.Otherwise the reverse will occur. So it is a special case.

As per the question only option 4 is correct which tells that heat will flow from object 1 to object 2 in examples 1,2,4, and heat will flow from object 2 to 1 in example 3. Other options violate the fundamental law of thermodynamics.

The interstellar clouds called molecular clouds are _________.
ira [324]

Answer:

nebulas and they are the cool clouds in which stars form

Explanation:

The stars are born by chance. Fragments of matter are gathered from the cool clouds of gas and dust that float in space, the so-called nebulas. These particles are added by gravitational attraction to form a large mass.

This conglomerate, due to the effect of gravity, contracts on itself and as a consequence increases in its center, density, pressure and heat. In this way, atoms move faster and collide with each other. Under these conditions, nuclear fusion reactions soon begin. When they start the star is born.

What determines the speed of a wave? Four sentences.
Ann [662]
The speed of waves are determined by the frequency of the push(wind). This really determines what the wave is being pushed by. If it were a Tsunami it would be by the frequency of the Tsunami if it were from the wind then the winds frequency would determine it's speed. Also the wavelength determines the speed because of the wight it has, but again something has to cause this wave to move.
