Answer:

Approximately 3.86\; {\rm N} (given that the magnitude of this charge is -7.35\; {\rm \mu C}.)

Explanation:

If a charge of magnitude q is placed in an electric field of magnitude E, the magnitude of the electrostatic force on that charge would be F = E\, q.

The magnitude of this charge is q = 7.35\; {\rm \mu C}. Apply the unit conversion 1\; {\rm \mu C} = 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}:

\begin{aligned} q &= 7.35\; {\mu C} \times \frac{10^{-6}\; {\rm C}}{1\; {\mu C}} = 7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}\end{aligned}.

An electric field of magnitude E = 5.25\times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} would exert on this charge a force with a magnitude of:

\begin{aligned}F &= E\, q \\ &= 5.25 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} \times (-7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}) \\ &\approx 3.86\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}.

Note that the electric charge in this question is negative. Hence, electrostatic force on this charge would be opposite in direction to the the electric field. Since the electric field points due south, the electrostatic force on this charge would point due north.

When celery is placed in a glass of pure water the solution inside its cells is _____ compared to the water.?
kow [346]
The correct answer to the question above is hypertonic. When celery is being placed in a glass of pure water, the solution inside its cells is going to appear as hypertonic compared to the water. This means that the cells inside has a higher concentration than outside.

6. State whether each of the following is an example of conduction, convection, and/or radiation. Explain if you think there is
hodyreva [135]
A).  Convection is heating the soup in the pot.
When you stick the spoon into the hot soup,
conduction heats the spoon all the way up to the end.

b).  Water conducts heat a little bit. 
But convection is much more responsible for the
uniform distribution of temperature in the kiddie pool.

c).  The heat from the metal bench conducts directly
to the buttus epidermis when you sit on it.

d).  You feel the heat on your face ... but not on the back of your
neck ... on account of radiation from the fire and the hot grill.
