Answer:

The right answer is "5.9". A further solving is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Initial Magnitude,

M₁ = 3.9

Let Second magnitude be M₂.

Now,

⇒  M_2-M_1=log(\frac{l_2}{l_1} )

On substituting the values, we get

⇒  M_2-3.9 = log (120)

On putting the value of "log 120", we get

⇒  M_2-3.9=2.079

On adding "3.9" both sides, we get

⇒  M_2-3.9+3.9=2.079+3.9

⇒                    M_2=5.9

When two identical ions are separated by a distance of 4.2×10−10 , the electrostatic force each exerts on the other is 5.2×10−9
Effectus [21]
F = kq2 / r2 
q = ne 
 F = k(ne)2 / r2 
 n = âš(r2F / ke2) = (r/e) âš(F/k) 
 k = 9 x 109 Nm2/C2 
 e = 1.6 x 10-19 C 
 n = [(4.2 x 10-10) / (1.6 x 10-19)] âš[(5.2 x 10-9) / (9 x 109)] ≅ 1.995 ≅ 2

A coin is tossed, and a standard number cube is rolled. What is the probability that the coin shows heads and the number cube sh
Ainat [17]
So,

Since this is independent probability, the probability of the event above occurring is:
(probability\ of\ heads)(probability\ of\ even\ no.)

First, the probability of landing on heads.
\frac{1}{2}

Now, the probability of rolling an even number.
<u />\frac{3}{6}\ or\  \frac{1}{2}

Plug it into the equation.
\frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} =  \frac{1}{4}

The correct option is C.
