Answer:

Explanation:

As we know that force on charge given as

F = q E

E=Electric filed

F=Force

q=Charge

Torque = Force x Distance between force

For producing torque two charge is required one single charge can not produce torque.So when we placed an electron in homogeneous field then it did not experience any net torque.

So answer is No.

Initially a car accelerates at 2 m/s2 for x seconds. The car then travels at a velocity of -6 m/s for x seconds. If the car disp

Luda [366]

Answer:

The time travel is

t=8 s

Explanation:

$a= 2 \frac{m}{s^{2} } \\v=-6 \frac{m}{s} \\x=16m$

$x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}$

$x_{f}=0-6*t+\frac{1}{2} *2*t^{2}$

$t^{2}-6*t-16=0\\ using :\\\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*c*a } }{2} \\\frac{-(-6)+/-\sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4*(-16)*(1) } }{2}=\frac{3}{2} +/- \frac{10}{2} \\t_{1} = 2s \\t_{2} = 8s$

Check

$t_{2}=8s$

$x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}$

$x_{f}=0-6*+\frac{1}{2} *2*8^{2}$

$x_{f}=-48+64\\x_{f}=16$

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

${ \bf{average \: velocity = \frac{15 + 40}{2}}} \\ = 27.5 \: {ms}^{ - 1} \\ { \bf{acceleration = \frac{v - u}{t} }} \\ = \frac{40 - 15}{10} \\ = 2.5 \: {ms}^{ - 2} \\ \\ { \tt{second \: qn : }} \\ { \bf{final \: velocity =u + at }} \\ v = 0 + (5 \times 10) \\ = 50 \: {ms}^{ - 1}$
