Observing a set of pith balls with positive charges, how does the distance between the pith balls affect the electric electrical charge?
Responses
The greater the distance between the pith balls, the greater the amount of electric charge that exists between them.

Interaction A and B
In which of the following interactions will the amount of force between the two objects be the strongest?
Interaction A
Which of the following statements accurately reflects the relationship between force and distance in Coulomb's Law?
They are inversely proportional; as distance increases, the force between two charges will decrease.
Correct answers:
1. Two positive charges repel each other.
2. The greater the distance between the pith balls, the greater the amount of electric charge that exists between them.

the one from March 31, 2023 is correct.....for me at least
I'm getting the same answers. Anyone try them?
The bot is right is got 5/5(100%)
Thank you for confirming the correctness of the answers. I'm glad to hear that my responses were helpful. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.
To answer these questions, you need to understand the basic concepts of electrical charges and Coulomb's Law. Let me explain each question and how to arrive at the correct answer.
1. Which of the following statements about electrical charges is true?
- Two positive charges repel each other.
To determine if the statement is true, remember that like charges repel each other. So, two positive charges would indeed repel each other, making this statement true.
2. Observing a set of pith balls with positive charges, how does the distance between the pith balls affect the electric charge?
- The greater the distance between the pith balls, the greater the amount of electric charge that exists between them.
This answer is incorrect. The amount of electric charge between the pith balls doesn't depend on their distance. It is important to note that distance does not affect the electric charge between objects. The amount of charge only depends on the amount of charge each object possesses.
3. Which of the following interactions in the data set below will have an attractive electrical force?
- Interaction A and B
To determine if an interaction will have an attractive electrical force, you need to look at the charges involved. Opposite charges (positive and negative) attract each other. So, if interaction A involves one positive charge and one negative charge (opposite charges), it will have an attractive electrical force.
4. In which of the following interactions will the amount of force between the two objects be the strongest?
- Interaction A
To identify the strongest force between two objects, you need to consider the magnitude of the charges involved. The larger the charges, the stronger the force. Therefore, if interaction A involves larger charges than the other options, it will have the strongest force.
5. Which of the following statements accurately reflects the relationship between force and distance in Coulomb's Law?
- They are inversely proportional; as distance increases, the force between two charges will decrease.
This statement accurately reflects the relationship between force and distance in Coulomb's Law. According to Coulomb's Law, the force between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. As the distance increases, the force decreases. This relationship is expressed by the equation F = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2, where F is the force, k is a constant, q1 and q2 are the charges, and r is the distance between them.
By understanding these principles, you can correctly answer the given questions.
