State Coulomb's law in terms of how the electrostatic force changes with the distance between two objects.
Calculate the electrostatic force between two point charges, such as electrons or protons.
Compare the electrostatic force to the gravitational attraction for a proton and an electron; for a human and the Earth.
The information presented in this section supports the following AP® learning objectives and science practices:
3.A.3.3 The student is able to describe a force as an interaction between two objects and identify both objects for any force.
(S.P. 1.4)
3.A.3.4 The student is able to make claims about the force on an object due to the presence of other objects with the same property: mass, electric charge.
(S.P. 6.1, 6.4)
3.C.2.1 The student is able to use Coulomb's law qualitatively and quantitatively to make predictions about the interaction between two electric point charges (interactions between collections of electric point charges are not covered in Physics 1 and instead are restricted to Physics 2).
(S.P. 2.2, 6.4)
3.C.2.2 The student is able to connect the concepts of gravitational force and electric force to compare similarities and differences between the forces.
(S.P. 7.2)
Through the work of scientists in the late 18th century, the main features of the
electrostatic force —the existence of two types of charge, the observation that like charges repel, unlike charges attract, and the decrease of force with distance—were eventually refined, and expressed as a mathematical formula. The mathematical formula for the electrostatic force is called
Coulomb's law after the French physicist Charles Coulomb (1736–1806), who performed experiments and first proposed a formula to calculate it.
Coulomb's law
Coulomb's law calculates the magnitude of the force
between two point charges,
and
, separated by a distance
. In SI units, the constant
is equal to
The electrostatic force is a vector quantity and is expressed in units of newtons. The force is understood to be along the line joining the two charges. (See
[link] .)
Although the formula for Coulomb's law is simple, it was no mean task to prove it. The experiments Coulomb did, with the primitive equipment then available, were difficult. Modern experiments have verified Coulomb's law to great precision. For example, it has been shown that the force is inversely proportional to distance between two objects squared
to an accuracy of 1 part in
. No exceptions have ever been found, even at the small distances within the atom.
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️

define infection ,prevention and control

I think infection prevention and control is the avoidance of all things we do that gives out break of infections and promotion of health practices that promote life
