A bug zapper consists of two metal plates connected to a high-voltage power supply. The voltage between the plates is set to giv
e an electric field slightly less than 1×10⁶ V/m . When a bug flies between the two plates, it increases the field enough to initiate a spark that incinerates the bug. If a bug zapper has a 7000 V power supply, what is the approximate separation between the plates?
(a) 7×10⁻² cm
(b) 0.7 cm
(c) 7 cm
(d) 70 cm
First we need to know the equation: F= Mass times acceleration F = 2.0 kg times 5.0 m/s^2 multiply them to get the net force! F= 10 N N is newton Hope this heps
