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

How large is the Milky Way Galaxy? A. It is the largest galaxy ever observed. B. It takes up over half of the known universe. C.
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

D. It is very small when compared to the universe

Explanation:

The Milky Way can be regarded galaxy which has Solar System in it. Milky way gives the description of appearance of galaxy from Earth, it is a hazy band of light that's been formed from the stars which can be visualized in the sky during the night, though it cannot be sorted by mere human eyes. Milky Way has existed for about 13.51 billion years with the radius of 52,850 light years. the Number of stars in milky way is about 100-400 billion. It should be noted that themilky way galaxy is a very large galaxy but It is very small when compared to the universe

If the bonds in the reactants of Figure 7-3 contained 432 kJ of chemical energy and the bonds in the
Yuri [45]

Answer:

  • <u>The energy change would be 46kJ</u>
  • <u>The energy would be absorbed</u>

Explanation:

The <em>energy change </em>during a chemical reation, i.e. the reaction energy, is equal to the chemical energy stored in the<em> bonds of the products </em>less the chemical energy stored in the <em>bonds of the reactants</em>.

Hence:

  • <em>Energy change</em> = 478 kJ - 432kJ = 46kJ

The change is positive, this is, the chemical energy of the products is greater than the chemical energy of the reactants.

That corresponds to the second graph, where the level of the energy of the products in the graph is higher than the level of the energy of the reactants. Therefore, the conclusion is that the reaction <em>absorbed energy</em> and it is endothermic.

A 0.01 kg spring toy is compressed 0.02 m and released vertically. The toy is measured to reach 0.25 m in the air. Determine the
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

122.5 N/m

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, if there is no air resistance or frictional forces, the initial elastic potential energy of the spring toy is entirely converted into gravitational potential energy when the toy reaches the highest point.

Therefore, we can write:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=mgh

where the term on the left is the initial elastic potential energy while the term on the right is the gravitational potential energy, and where

k is the spring constant

x = 0.02 m is the compression of the spring

m = 0.01 kg is the mass of the toy

h = 0.25 m is the height reached by the toy

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Solving for k,

k=\frac{2mgh}{x^2}=\frac{2(0.01)(9.8)(0.25)}{(0.02)^2}=122.5 N/m

A person looking out the window of a stationary train notices that raindrops are falling vertically down at a speed of 3.84 m/s
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

the train is moving at the speed of v = 1.79 m/s

Explanation:

given,

rain drop is falling vertically down with the speed of  = 3.84 m/s

angle of the rain drop = 25°                      

tan θ = \dfrac{v}{u}                      

tan 25° = \dfrac{v}{3.84}                      

v =3.84 × tan 25°                      

v = 1.79 m/s                  

hence, the train is moving at the speed of v = 1.79 m/s
