Matt forgot to put the fabric softener in the wash. As his socks tumbled in the dryer, they became charged. If a small piece of

lint with a charge of +1.25 E -19 C is attracted to the socks by a force of 3.0 E -9 N, what is the magnitude of the electric field at this location?

Answer:

E = 2.4 \times 10^{10} N/C

Explanation:

As we know that electric field is defined as the force experienced by a unit charge placed in external electric field.

now we know that

q = 1.25 \times 10^{-19} C

F = 3.0 \times 10^{-9} N

now we know that force is related to electric field intensity as per the following relation

F = qE

3 \times 10^{-9} = 1.25 \times 10^{-19} E

E = \frac{3 \times 10^{-9}}{1.25 \times 10^{-19}}

E = 2.4 \times 10^{10} N/C

I can't remember how to solve this kind of problem.
So, in desperation, I take a hard look at the units.

I do remember that electric field is measured in volts per meter,
and 1 volt/meter means 1 newton/coulomb.  And there it is !
The problem has a quantity of [newtons] and a quantity of [coulombs]
in it.  If I divide those, the quotient will be [newton/coulomb], and THAT's
electric field strength !

                 (3.0 x 10⁻⁹ N) / (1.25 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)
 
             =        2.4 x 10¹⁰  N / C

             =        2.4 x 10¹⁰  volts/meter .

In a skate park, you are trying to determine how to get the most speed at the bottom of the ramp. If the ramp is 4.5 m high, and
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

If you have an initial velocity of 1.5m/s and the ramp height is 4.5, and an extreme fart is initiated at the bottom of the ramp exerting an didditional upward force, and the smell of the fart causes you to begin flailing, and everyone running from you causes an additional wind force, then you would be rolling at a speed of 3 m/s given there is no friction. :)

How many ways can you see that heat can transfer from the inside to the outside of your home on a cold day? List at least three
Yanka [14]

Answer: Heat transfers through brick walls and glass through conduction. In conduction heat is transferred by vibration of molecules. most energetic molecules vibrate and pass on the energy to less energetic molecules. Then they vibrate and further pass on the  energy. In this way heat is transferred out of the home. Heat also transfers through the leakage of warm air from doors and windows. This occurs through convection. In convection energy is transferred through bulk movement of liquid and air molecules. Heat also transfers from insulation. in insulation there is no material in between the layers. So heat transfer through insulation occurs through radiations that occurs by X-Rays, Ultravoilet rays etc.

Q. At what point in a waterfall do the drops of water contain the most kinetic energy ?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

2.When they reach the bottom of the fall

Explanation:

The potential energy of the waterfall is maximum at the maximum height and decreases with decrease in height. Based on the law of conservation of mechanical energy, as the potential energy of the water fall is decreasing with  decrease in height of the fall, its kinetic energy will be increasing and the kinetic energy will be maximum at zero height (bottom of the fall).

Thus, the correct option is "2" When they reach the bottom of the fall
