Wood floats, whereas the key doesn’t. If you attach the 2 together than the wood would prevent the key from sinking.

It could prevent the key from sinking because the wood would float.

It floats because it weighs less than amount of water it would have to push out of the glass if it sank. Wood, cork, and ice are all less dense than water, and they float; rocks are more dense, so they sink. A key would also be more dense causing it to sink.

Hope this helps,

A 2.40 μC charge is subject to a 3.00 mN force due to an Electric Field. What is the magnitude of the Electric Field at the loca
Bezzdna [24]
<h2>Electric field at the location of the charge is 1250 N/C</h2>

Explanation:

Electric field is the ratio of force and charge.

Force, F = 3.00 mN = 3 x 10⁻³ N

Charge, q = 2.40 μC = 2.40 x 10⁻⁶ C

We have

                 E=\frac{F}{q}\\\\E=\frac{3\times 10^{-3}}{2.40\times 10^{-6}}\\\\E=1250N/C

Electric field at the location of the charge is 1250 N/C
