The distance between the charges is 13.86 X 10⁴m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Force, F = 1.2N

Charge, q₁ = 1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

k = 8.987 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

Distance, d = ?

According to Coulomb's law:

F = k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\

Substituting the value in the formula we get:

1.2 = 8.987X 10^9 X\frac{1.602 X 10^-^1^9 X 1.602 X 10^1^9}{r^2} \\\\1.2 = \frac{23.06 X 10^9}{r^2} \\\\r^2 = 19.22 X 10^9\\\\r = 13.86 X 10^4m

Therefore, the distance between the charges is 13.86 X 10⁴m

The average radius of Mars is 3,397 km. If Mars completes one rotation in 24.6 hours, what is the tangential speed of objects on
sammy [17]

Answer: First, we determine the circumference of the Mars by the equation below.  

                                     C = 2πr

Substituting the known values,

                                     C = 2(π)(3,397 km) = 6794π km

To determine the tangential speed, we divide the circumference calculated above by the time it takes for Mars to complete one rotation and that is,

                   tangential speed = 6794π km / 24.6 hours = 867.64 km/h

How does electroscope detect type of charge ?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

An electroscope is an early scientific instrument used to detect the presence of electric charge on a body. It detects charge by the movement of a test object due to the Coulomb electrostatic force on it. The amount of charge on an object is proportional to its voltage.

Which statement best explains why sound waves cannot travel through space
Naddika [18.5K]
The vacuum of outer space has essentially zero air. Because sound is just vibrating air, space has no air to vibrate and therefore no sound. If you are sitting in a space ship and another space ship explodes, you would hear nothing. So, in order for sound to travel, there has to be something with molecules for it to travel through. On Earth, sound travels to your ears by vibrating air molecules. In deep space, the large empty areas between stars and planets, there are no molecules to vibrate. There is no sound there.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Vaccum

Explanation:

  • Sound travels through the particles of different matter
  • In vaccum there is no air so no matter and so no particles .
  • So sound can't travel through vaccum.

You can test it .

  • Take a speaker and keep it inside a bottle ,close it .
  • You won't hear any sound
