Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1OQ

Solution:

The gravity is the factor which was assumed to be the cause of the slowing down of the expansion of the universe in earlier days. Therefore, option c is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Option a is wrong since, there is no frictional force present.

The second law of thermodynamics states that the randomness of the universe increases with time. So, this is not the cause of slowing down. Therefore, option b is wrong.

Due to the gravity or gravitational force, the process of expansion may slow down due to the gravitational attraction between objects. So, option c is correct.

The electromagnetic force may be either attractive or repulsive. So, option d is wrong.

Conclusion:

Option c is correct.

Point charges q1=50.0μC and q2=-35μC are placed d1=1.0m apart, as shown. A. A third charge, q3=25μC, is positioned somewhere along the line that passes through the first two charges, and the net force on q3 is zero. Which statement best describes the position of this third charge?1)  Charge q3 is to the right of charge q2. 2)  Charge q3 is between charges q1 and q2. 3)  Charge q3 is to the left of charge q1. B. What is the distance, in meters, between charges q1 and q3? (Your response to the previous step may be used to simplify your solution.)Give numeric value.d2 = __________________________________________mC. Select option that correctly describes the change in the net force on charge q3 if the magnitude of its charge is increased.1)  The magnitude of the net force on charge q3 would still be zero. 2)  The effect depends upon the numeric value of charge q3. 3)  The net force on charge q3 would be towards q2. 4)  The net force on charge q3 would be towards q1. D. Select option that…
