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.

What is similar about analogical and symbolic representations?
ICE Princess25 [194]
Symbolic representations are mental pictures that have no direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Instead, these mental pictures are connected by themes that are meaningful to you. Anytime you think of words and descriptions for one main concept, you're thinking symbolically. Analogical representations are mental pictures that have a direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Do cows have their ears on the top or side of their heads? Rather than thinking symbolically about a cow and his ears (tiny, smelly, leather), analogical representations of the cow's ears involve thinking of an actual cow in your head.

Is a magnetic reversal a threat to life on Earth ? Whay do you say?
KATRIN_1 [288]
I would say yes, a magnetic reversal a threat to life on Earth. Base on articles, it is the end of the world if that happens. <span>Some people believe global cataclysm will occur when Earth's magnetic poles reverse. When north goes south, they say, the continents will lurch in one direction or the other, triggering massive earthquakes, rapid climate change and species extinctions.</span>

A crane lifts a 545 kg piano up into a high-rise apartment 75.0 meters above the ground. In order to do so, 5350 Newtons were ap
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Work done to pull the piano upwards is 401250 J

Explanation:

Work is done against the gravity to pull the piano upwards

So here we can say that work done is

W = mgH

here we know that

mg = 5350 N

also we know that

H = 75 m

now we have

W = 5350 \times 75

W = 401250 J

How many hydrogen atoms are in a water molecule?
earnstyle [38]
The subscript after the element indicates the number of atoms of that element in the molecule. So, in H20, the subscript after the H, which stands for hydrogen, is 2. This means that there are 2 hydrogen atoms in a water molecule.

Hope this helps! :)
