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:

2.4\cdot 10^{10} N/C

Explanation:

The electric force exerted on a charge due to an electric field is given by:

F=qE

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

F is the magnitude of the force

E is the magnitude of the electric field

In this problem, we have:

q=1.25\cdot 10^{-19}C is the charge

F=3.0\cdot 10^{-9} N is the magnitude of the force

using these data and re-arranging the equation, we can calculate the magnitude of the electric field:

E=\frac{F}{q}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^{-9} N}{1.25\cdot 10^{-19} C}=2.4\cdot 10^{10} N/C

Gravity provides a centripetal force on the Moon, helping it stay in orbit around Earth.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Both gravity and centrifugal force act on the Moon which causes it get pulled towards Earth (gravity) and get "flung away" so it doesn't hit us (centrifugal force).

A perfectly elastic collision occurs between a 15.0-kg mass traveling at 3.50 m/s and a 9.00-kg mass traveling at 2.35 m/s. if t
BaLLatris [955]
Momentum is conserved in a collision. Momentum is mass*velocity, so you can find your answer by calculating initial and final momentums and setting them equal to each other.

15kg * 3.50 m/s + 9kg * 2.35 m/s = 73.65 kg m/s

73.65 = 9 * 2.8 + 15x

solve for x
x= 3.23

The final velocity is 3.23 m/s

Which scenario involves kinetic energy transforming into potential energy? A. a book lying on a shelf B. a train traveling at a
NeX [460]
The answer is C.

The Kinetic energy which was exerted and experience pulling the string of a bow is kept as a potential energy at the end of the arrow in contact with the string. Once release from aim at stationary position the potential energy is again transformed.

A pelican flying along a horizontal path drops
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The initial speed of the pelican is 8.81 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

height of the pelican, h = 5.0 m

horizontal distance, X = 8.9 m

The time of flight is given by;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2*5}{9.81} } \\\\t = 1.01 \ s

The initial horizontal speed of the pelican is given by;

X = vₓt

vₓ = X / t

vₓ = 8.9 / 1.01

vₓ = 8.81 m/s

Therefore, the initial speed of the pelican is 8.81 m/s.
