Answer: a. F doubled

b. F reduced by one-quarter i.e

1/4*(F)

c. 1/9*(F)

d. F increased by a factor of 4 i.e 4*F

e. F reduces 3/4*(F)

Explanation: Coulombs law states the force F of attraction/repulsion experience by two charges qA and qB is directly proportional to thier product and inversely proportional to the square of distance d between them. That is

F = k*(qA*qB)/d²

a. If qA is doubled therefore the force is doubled since they are directly proportional.

b. If qA and qB are half, that means thier new product would be qA/2)*qB/2 =qA*qB/4

Which means the product of charge is divided by 4 so the force would be divided by 4 too since they are directly proportional.

c. If d is tripped that is multiplied by 3. From the formula new d would be (3*d)²=9d² but force is inversely proportional to d² so instead of multiplying by 9 the force will be divided by 9

d. If d is cut into half that is divided by 2. The new d would be (d/2)²=d²/4. So d² is divided by 4 so the force would be multiplied by 4

e. If qA is tripled that is multiplied by 3. F would be multiplied by 3 also, if at the same time d is doubled (2*d)²= 4*d² . Force would be divided by 4 at same time. So we have,

3/4*F

The newly formed xenon nucleus is left in an excited state. Thus, when it decays to a state of lower energy a gamma ray is emitt
nevsk [136]

Answer:3.87*10^-4

Explanation:

What is the decrease in mass, delta mass Xe , of the xenon nucleus as a result of this deca

We have been given the wavelength of the gamma ray, find the frequency using c = freq*wavelength.

C=f*lambda

3*10^8=f*3.44*10^-12

F=0.87*10^20 hz

Then with the frequency, find the energy emitted using equation

E=hf E = freq*Plank's constant

E=.87*10^20*6.62*10^-34

E=575.94*10^(-16)

With this energy, convert into MeV from joules.

With the energy in MeV, use E=mc^2 using c^2 = 931.5 MeV/u.

Plugging and computing all necessary numbers gives you

3.87*10^-4 u.

An electron and a proton, starting from rest, are accelerated through an electric potential difference of the same magnitude. in
Yakvenalex [24]
The charges are the same in absolute value, so the change of potential energy is the same. That means that the change in kinetic energy is also the same. Then:

1 = Ke/Kp = m_e *v_e^2 / m_p * v_p^2, or

v_e/v_p = sqrt( m_p/m_e),

So the speed of the electron will be sqrt( m_p/m_e) times greater than the speed of the proton

(1) A typical person has a surface area of about 2m^2 and a layer of fat about 1cm thick (It can vary from 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm) . E
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

1)H=714 Watts of energy is given out.

2)614.34 KCal energy is burnt in an hour in the room

3)In freezing conditions, 1337.09 KCal is spent in an hour.

Explanation:

The formula for thermal conductivity states that the rate of heat loss H is as follows:

H=\frac{KA (T_{1}-T_{2})}{x}   where,

K=Coefficient of thermal conductivity

A=Area of Cross Section

H=Rate of heat loss

x=Thickness of the material

T_{1}-T_{2}=Temperature difference between the two surfaces of the body in context

T_{1}=37°C ie. Body Temperature

T_{2}=20°C ie. Room Temperature

For first case, T_{1}-T_{2}=17°C or 17°F

K for fat= 0.21 Wm^{-1}K^{-1}

A=2m^{2}

x=0.01 m

H=\frac{0.21 * 2* 17}{0.01}

H=714 Watts of energy is given out.

2) Power×Time(in seconds) = Energy

Energy= 714 × 60 × 60=2570400 J

2570400 J=614.3403442 KCal

Therefore, 614.3403442 KCal energy is burnt in an hour.

3) Only the temperature difference becomes 37°C from 17°C , rest everything remains the same, therefore the energy will also vary due to the temperature factor and more energy will be spent as in freezing climate T_{2}=0 °C

E=\frac{614.34*37}{17}=1337.09 KCal

In freezing conditions, 1337.09 KCal is spent in an hour.

the mass of piece of granite is 15.6g when it is suspended can a mass of 5.5g of water is displaced find the dencity of granite
Blababa [14]

Answer:

2836.36 kg/m³

Explanation:

Applying,

Densty of granite(D')/Density of water(D) = weight of granite(W')/weight of water displaced(W)

D'/D = W'/W................... Equation 1

Make D' the subject of the equation

D' = W'D/W............... Equation 2.

From the question,

Given: W' = mg = 9.8(15.6/1000) = 0.15288 N, W = 9.8(5.5/1000) = 0.0539 N, Constant: D = 1000 kg/m³

Substitute these values into equation 2

D' = 1000(0.15288)/0.0539

D' = 2836.36 kg/m³

a 59kg physics student jumps off the back of her laser sailboat (42kg). after she jumps the laser is found to be travelling at 1
evablogger [386]

From the conservation of linear momentum of closed system,

Initial momentum = final momentum

Mass of the student, M = 59 kg

Mass of the laser boat, m = 42 kg

Initial speed of student + laser boat, u =0

Final speed of laser boat, v = 1.5 m/s

Final speed of the student = V

(M+m) u =M V +m v

0 = (59 kg) V + (42 kg) (1.5m/s)

V = - 1.06 m/s

Thus, the speed of the student is 1.06 m/s in the opposite direction of the motion of boat.
