In fair weather, the ground may become charged such that there is an electric field just above the surface of the Earth, pointin

g down toward the ground. What is the electric charge of the ground in this situation?

The electric field is defined as the electric force per unit of charge. The direction of the field is taken as the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test load. An electric field is always directed from its positive charge to the negative. Under this condition if the terrestrial electric field is pointing towards the ground, the terminal that is pointing is the negative and that of its surface is the positive. This implies that the sign of the charge of the electric field of the soil will be negative.

What do we call the principal SI units that are used to derive all other SI units? Question 3 options:
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer: Base units

The principal SI units that are used to derive all other SI units are called base units. The base units are the units of fundamental quantities e.g.  M L T that is Mass, Length, and Time. All other physical quantities can be written in the fundamental dimension forms. The physical quantities are not measured directly but are build up from the building blocks that are the fundamental quantities which have base units.

What is the difference between a theory and a law?
algol [13]

A theory is a system of ideas that isn't exactly proven to be true fully. A law is a description of whatever scientific phenomena you're studying. All you need to know is a law describes, and a theory explains.

An automobile starter motor has an equivalent resistance of 0.055 Ï and is supplied by a 12.0 v battery which has a 0.0305 Ï int
LiRa [457]
12 V is the f.e.m. \epsilon of the battery. The potential difference that is applied to the motor is actually the fem minus the voltage drop on the internal resistance r:
\epsilon - Ir
this is equal to the voltage drop on the resistance of the motor R:
RI
so we can write:
\epsilon - Ir = RI
and using r=0.0305~\Omega and R=0.055~\Omega we can find the current I:
I= \frac{\epsilon}{R+r}=140~A

Suppose that a car traveling to the west (-x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which statement co
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Its acceleration is positive

Explanation:

As the car is moving in the negative x-direction than after applying brake then there will be a decrease in the acceleration but in the opposite direction.

As decreasing acceleration consider to be negative but the car is moving in negative direction which means increasing acceleration is negative by sign convention but by applying brake acceleration decrease but in opposite direction than it will give positive value of acceleration.
