Answer:

Water vapor helps keep the earth's heat from escaping into space.

Explanation:

Of all the options only the first option is correct. Yes, the water vapor helps keep the Earth's heat from escaping into the space. Water vapor is green house gas meaning it has the ability to absorb heating coming from the sun. Among the rest options sublimation is process of conversion of solid directly into the gas. Most of the water vapor in the air does not come from the transpiration and evaporation from the oceans add salt water to the atmosphere is absolutely wrong.

Help with this question plz and show how you got it :) tysm!

The hardest part of the job is to find the right formula to use, and write it down. You've already done that ! The rest is just turning the crank until an answer falls out.

You wrote. E = m g h.
Beautiful.
Now divide each side by (g h), and you'll have the formula for mass:

m = E / (g h).

You know all the numbers on the right side. Just pluggum in, do the arithmetic, and you'll have the mass.

A point charge of -4.28 pC is fixed on the y-axis, 2.79 mm from the origin. What is the electric field produced by this charge a

makkiz [27]

Answer:

E = (-3.61^i+1.02^j) N/C

magnitude E = 3.75N/C

Explanation:

In order to calculate the electric field at the point P, you use the following formula, which takes into account the components of the electric field vector:

$\vec{E}=-k\frac{q}{r^2}cos\theta\ \hat{i}+k\frac{q}{r^2}sin\theta\ \hat{j}\\\\\vec{E}=k\frac{q^2}{r}[-cos\theta\ \hat{i}+sin\theta\ \hat{j}]$ (1)

Where the minus sign means that the electric field point to the charge.

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

q = -4.28 pC = -4.28*10^-12C

r: distance to the charge from the point P

The point P is at the point (0,9.83mm)

θ: angle between the electric field vector and the x-axis

The angle is calculated as follow:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{2.79mm}{9.83mm})=74.15\°$

The distance r is:

$r=\sqrt{(2.79mm)^2+(9.83mm)^2}=10.21mm=10.21*10^{-3}m$

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$\vec{E}=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{4.28*10^{-12}C}{(10.21*10^{-3}m)}[-cos(15.84\°)\hat{i}+sin(15.84\°)\hat{j}]\\\\\vec{E}=(-3.61\hat{i}+1.02\hat{j})\frac{N}{C}\\\\|\vec{E}|=\sqrt{(3.61)^2+(1.02)^2}\frac{N}{C}=3.75\frac{N}{C}$
