Answer:

Due to high salt in the sea water the density of the sea water is higher as compared to river water.

Sea water contains more amount of salt as compared to river/fresh water as a result it’s density increases and hence the buoyant force increases which makes it easier to swim in sea water .

The largest stars are _____ times the mass of the Sun. 10 100 1,000 10,000

Arte-miy333 [17]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

100 times

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The largest stars are 100 times the mass of the Sun.
<u>The giant stars are about 10 to 100 times the radius of the sun</u>, which means they are 100 times brighter than the sun.
<em><u>The largest known star in terms of mass and brightness is known as the Pistol Star. It is believed to be 100 times as massive as our Sun, and 10,000,000 times as bright.</u></em>

Three positive charges A, B, and C, and a negative charge D are placed in a line as shown in the diagram. All four charges are o

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

a. charge C experiences the greatest net force, and charge B receives the smallest net force

b. ratio=9

Explanation:

<u>Electrostatic Force</u>

Two point-charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated a distance d will exert a force on each other of a magnitude given by the Coulomb's formula

$\displaystyle F=\frac{k\ q_1\ q_2}{r^2}$

Where k is the proportional constant of value

$k=9*10^9\ N.m^2/c^2$

The diagram provided in the question shows four identical charges (let's assume their value is Q) separated by identical distance (of value d). The force between the charges next to others is

$\displaystyle F_1=\frac{k\ Q\ Q}{d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_1=\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}$

The force between charges separated 2d is

$\displaystyle F_2=\frac{k\ Q^2}{(2d)^2}$

$\displaystyle F_2=\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}$

And the force between the charges A and D is

$\displaystyle F_3=\frac{k\ Q^2}{(3d)^2}$

$\displaystyle F_3=\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}$

Now, let's analyze each charge and the force applied to them by the others

Let's recall equally signed charges repel each other and differently signed charges attrach each other

Charge A. It receives force to the left from B and C and to the right from D

$\displaystyle F_A=-F_1-F_2+F_3=-\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_A=\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}(-1-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{9})$

$\displaystyle F_A=-\frac{41}{36}F_1$

Charge B. It receives force to the right from A and D and to the left from C

$\displaystyle F_B=F_1-F_1+F_2=\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_B=\frac{1}{4}F_1$

Charge C. It receives forces to the right from all charges.

$\displaystyle F_C=F_2+F_1+F_1=\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_C=\frac{9}{4}F_1$

Charge D. It receives forces to the left from all charges

$\displaystyle F_D=-F_3-F_2-F_1=-\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_D=-\frac{49}{36}F_1$

Comparing the magnitudes of each force is just a matter of computing the fractions

$\displaystyle \frac{41}{36}=1.13,\ \frac{1}{4}=0.25,\ \frac{9}{4}=2.25,\ \frac{49}{36}=1.36$

We can see the charge C experiences the greatest net force, and charge B receives the smallest net force

The ratio of the greatest to the smallest net force is

$\displaystyle \frac{\frac{9}{4}}{\frac{1}{4}}=9$

The greatest force is 9 times the smallest net force

A force (5ỉ - ;)N moves an object from the point P (1,3) m to the point Q (3, 8) m.

natita [175]

Answer:

b) 5 J

Explanation:

Work is the energy transferred by an object when acted by a force along a displacement. Work is the product of force and displacement. The SI unit of work is the joules (J)

To calculate the work done by the force, we have to first get the displacement (D) of the object. Hence:

Displacement (D) = Q(3, 8) - P(1, 3) = (3 - 1, 8 - 3) = (2, 5) = 2i + 5j

The work done is the dot product of the force and the displacement. Force = 5i - j. Hence:

Work done = (5i - j)(2i + 5j) = 10 - 5 = 5 J
