(a) the electric field generated by a single point charge is radial, and its direction is determined by the sign of the source charge. In particular, when the source charge is positive as in this example, the field lines are directed away from the charge (see attached figure).

(b) The electric field strength at distance r from the source charge is given by
E=k_e  \frac{Q}{r^2}
where ke is the Coulomb's constant and Q is the source charge. In our problem, the distance is r=2.00 cm=0.02 m, so the electric field at that point is
E=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2}) \frac{2.0 \cdot 10^{-5}C}{(0.02 m)^2}=4.5 \cdot 10^8 N/C

The force experienced by the test charge in this electric field is equal to
F=qE
where q=+5 \mu C=+5 \cdot 10^{-6}C is our test charge. Substituting, we find that the force is equal to
F=qE=(5\cdot 10^{-6}C)(4.5 \cdot 10^8 N/C)=2250 N

(c) The electric potential at a distance r from the source (positive) charge is given by
V=k_e  \frac{Q}{r}
and the electric potential energy of a test charge q at distance r from the source charge is
U=qV=k_e  \frac{qQ}{r}
We can see that when the test charge q is moved closer to the source Q, the distance r decreases, and so the potential energy U of the charge increases. So, the change in potential energy is positive.

A disk of radius R = 11 cm is pulled along a frictionless surface with a force of F = 16 N by a string wrapped around the edge.A
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: 1.76 Nm

Explanation:

If the force pulls horizontally, this means that the force is tangent to the disk at any point of the string unwinding process, so the distance d is irrelevant.

In this case, the torque is directly given by the product of the force times the distance perpendicular to the center of the disk, which is just the radius, as follows:

τ = F * r = 16 N. (0.11) m = 1.76 Nm

What's the difference between mechanical waves and vibrations
OlgaM077 [116]

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.

An analogy makes a comparison between objects based on their similar qualities. Cassidy wanted to create an analogy for the moti
user100 [1]
The three phases of matter differ in properties just because of the proximity of their molecules. The solid phase is the most organized of all. Its atoms are compactly arranged together and has the strongest intermolecular forces to keep them together. This is why they have a definite shape and volume. The liquid phase have molecules that are far away from each other, but not as far as that of the gas phase. The liquid and gas phases can be lumped into one group called fluids because they have the same property - they take the shape and volume of their container.

To make an analogy, see the attached picture for your reference.
