Answer: 1.51 km

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law:</u> The electrostatic force between two charge particles Q: and Q2 is directly proportional to product of magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to square of separation distance between them.

Or,   \vec{F}=k \frac{Q_{1} Q_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where Q1 and Q2 are magnitude of two charges and r is distance between them:

<u>Given:</u>

Q1 = Charge near top of cloud = 48.8 C

Q2 = Charge near the bottom of cloud = -41.7 C

Force between charge at top and bottom of cloud (i.e. between Q: and Q2) (F) = 7.98 x 10^6N

k = 8.99 x 109Nm^2/C^2

<u>So,</u>

\begin{aligned}&7.98 \times 10^{6}=\left(8.99 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{Nm}^{2} / \mathrm{C}^{2}\right) \frac{48.8 \mathrm{C} \times 41.7 \mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{r}^{2}} \\&r=\sqrt{\frac{1.8294 \times 10^{13}}{7.98 \times 10^{6}}}=1.514  \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~m}=1.51 \mathrm{~km}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the separation between the two charges (r) = 1.51 km

How would the model change as the atom forms bonds? The third shell would have eight electrons after the atom gains seven electr
atroni [7]

Answer:

The third shell would be empty, so the eight electrons on the second level would be the outermost after the atom lost one electron

Explanation:

When an atom is bonded with other atoms, a more stable configuration must be reached, which is why the energy of the molecule is less than the energy of the individual atoms, for this to happen in general, electrons are shared or lost and gained in each atom, depending on the electronegative of the same.

If we analyze an atom within the molecule, its last shell is full, in the case of atoms with few electrons in this shell, they are lost and in the case of many electors in this shell, it gains electrons to have eight (8) in total.

When reviewing the different answers, the correct one is:

* The third shell would be empty, so the eight electrons on the second level would be the outermost after the atom lost one electron

Which statement is the best example of pseudoscience?
Nady [450]
<span>pseudoscience includes beliefs theories, or practices that have been or are considered scientific, but have no basis in scientific fact.
This could mean the were disproved scientifically, can't be tested or lack evidence to support them.
Examples:Channeling- involves communicating with a spirit through a person

 Astrology- beliefs that humans are affected by the position of celestial bodies

A can of sardines is made to move along an x axis from x = 0.47 m to x = 1.20 m by a force with a magnitude given by F = exp(–8x
sattari [20]
If the force were constant or increasing, we could guess that the speed of the sardines is increasing. Since the force is decreasing but staying in contact with the can, we know that the can is slowing down, so there must be friction involved.
Work is the integral of (force x distance) over the distance, which is just the area under the distance/force graph.
The integral of exp(-8x) dx that we need is (-1/8)exp(-8x) evaluated from 0.47 to 1.20 .

I get 0.00291 of a Joule ... seems like a very suspicious solution, but for an exponential integral at a cost of 5 measly points, what can you expect. On the other hand, it's not really too unreasonable. The force is only 0.023 Newton at the beginning, and 0.000067 newton at the end, and the distance is only about 0.7 meter, so there certainly isn't a lot of work going on. The main question we're left with after all of this is: Why sardines ? ?
