Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

Weight = electric force 
<span>mg = qE </span>

<span>6.64x10^-27 x 9.81 = (2 x 1.60x10^-19) E 
</span>qE =mg, 
<span>E = mg/q = 6.64•10^-27•9.8/2•1.6•10^-19 =2.03•10^-7 V/m</span>

Answer:

Magnitude of electric field E= 2.03×10^-7NC^-1

The charge is positive,the electric force is in the same direction as the electric field according to F= qE

Therefore,the direction of the electric field is upward.

Explanation:

Fg=Fe

Where Fe is the force of the electric field

Fg is force of the gravitational field.

Mg= we

Mg= 2eE

E=mg/2e

E= (6.64×10^-27)(9.8)/2(1.6×10^-19)

E=( 6.50×10^-26)/(3.2×10^-19)

E= 2.03×10^-7NC^-1

Three equal point charges, each with charge 1.45 μCμC , are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose sides are of
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

U = 80.91 J

Explanation:

In order to calculate the electric potential energy between the three charges you use the following formula:

U=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r_{1,2}}                  (1)

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2

q1: q2 charge

r1,2: distance between charges 1 and 2.

For the three charges you have:

U_T=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r_{1,2}}+k\frac{q_1q_3}{r_{1,3}}+k\frac{q_2q_3}{r_{2,3}}           (2)

You use the fact that q1=q2=q3=q and that the distance between charges are equal. Then, in the equation (2) you have:

q = 1.45μC = 1.45*10^-6C

r = 0.700mm = 0.700*10^-3m

U_T=3k\frac{q^2}{r}=3(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{(1.45*10^{-6}C)}{0.700*10^{-3}m}\\\\U_T=80.91J

The electric potential energy between the three charges is 80.91 J

Phobos's Orbit. Phobos orbits Mars at a distance of 9,380 km from the center of the planet and has a period of 0.3189 days. Assu
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between time period of moon in the orbit around a planet can be given by the following relation .

T² = 4 π² R³ / GM

G is gravitational constant , M is mass of the planet , R is radius of the orbit and T is time period of the moon .

Substituting the values in the equation

(.3189 x 24 x 60 x 60 s)²  = 4 x 3.14² x ( 9380 x 10³)³ / (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x M)

759.167 x 10⁶ = 8.25 x 10²⁰ x 39.43 / (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x M )

M = .06424  x 10²⁵

= 6.4 x 10²³ kg .

A machine is currently set to a feed rate of 5.921 inches per minute (IPM). Te machinist changes this setting to 6.088 IPM. By h
lukranit [14]

Answer:

By 16.7% or 0.167 IPM

Explanation:

Substracting the final IPM (6.088) to the initial IPM (5.921) gives us the net difference, which is how much did it increase in IPM. Multiplying this number by 100 gives us the percentual increase in the feed rate.

A boy is pulling a load of 150N with a string inclined at an angle 30 to the horizontal if the tension of string is 105N the for
Lorico [155]

The force tending to lift the load (vertical force) is equal to <u>22.5N.</u>

Why?

Since the boy is pulling a load (150N) with a string inclined at an angle of 30° to the horizontal, the total force will have two components (horizontal and vertical component), but we need to consider the given information about the tension of the string which is equal to 105N.

We can calculate the vertical force using the following formula:

VerticalForce=Force*Sin(30\° )=(BoysForce-StringForce)*\frac{1}{2}\\\\VerticalForce=(150N-105N)*\frac{1}{2}=VerticalForce=45N*\frac{1}{2}=22.5N

Hence, we can see that <u>the force tending to lift the load</u> off the ground (vertical force) is equal to <u>22.5N.</u>

Have a nice day!
