Answer:
force becomes one - ninth
Explanation:
According to Coulomb's law in electrostatics, two charges can exert a force of attraction or repulsion on each other which is directly proportional to the product of two charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.
Here both the charges remains same but the distance is variable.
So, we can say that
.... (1)
Where d be the distance between the tow charges
As the distance between two charges increases by factor of three, let the new force be F'.
.... (2)
Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get


Thus, the force becomes one - ninth times the initial force.
The answer would be false
The maximum value of θ of such the ropes (with a maximum tension of 5,479 N) will be able to support the beam without snapping is:

We can apply the first Newton's law in x and y-direction.
If we do a free body diagram of the system we will have:
x-direction
All the forces acting in this direction are:
(1)
Where:
- T(1) is the tension due to the rope 1
- T(2) is the tension due to the rope 2
Here we just conclude that T(1) = T(2)
y-direction
The forces in this direction are:
(2)
Here W is the weight of the steel beam.
We equal it to zero because we need to find the maximum angle at which the ropes will be able to support the beam without snapping.
Knowing that T(1) = T(2) and W = mg, we have:



T(1) must be equal to 5479 N, so we have:


Therefore, the maximum angle allowed is θ = 37.01°.

When thermal energy of a substance increases, it's entropy(randomness) & Kinetic energy increases.
For more appropriate answer, you should put the options 'cause there could be more than one answer for this question.
4. Grass - Caterpillar - Hedgehog - Fox
5. Caterpillar, Rabbit, Mouse.
6. Cougar and Fox.
7. Bacteria
8. The bird, hedgehog, Fox and cougar would be effected since the Hedgehogs and birds would soon die out due to the loss of their food. Once they die out, the cougar and Fox would have no predators left to eat.
