Answer:

150000000

\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=0.00000203873598369

49050000 N/C

Explanation:

q = Charge = 24 pC

m = Mass of honeybee = 0.12 g

E = Electric field = 100 N/C

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

1\ C=6.25\times 10^{18}\ electrons

Number electrons is

n=24\times 10^{-12}\times 6.25\times 10^{18}\\\Rightarrow n=150000000

The number of electrons added or removed was 150000000

Force is given by

F_e=Eq\\\Rightarrow F_e=100\times 24\times 10^{-12}\\\Rightarrow F_e=2.4\times 10^{-9}\ N

The ratio is

\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{2.4\times 10^{-9}}{0.12\times 10^{-3}\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=0.00000203873598369

The ratio is \dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=0.00000203873598369

Balancing the forces we get

Eq=mg\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{mg}{q}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{0.12\times 10^{-3}\times 9.81}{24\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow E=49050000\ N/C

The electric field required is 49050000 N/C

A 6.9-kg wheel with geometric radius m has radius of gyration computed about its mass center given by m. A massless bar at angle
Vilka [71]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The value is  \alpha =2.538 \  rad/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The mass of the wheel is  m =  6.9  kg

   The radius is  r =  0.69 \  m

    The radius of gyration is  k_G = 0.4\  m

    The angle is  \theta = 47^o

    The force which the massless bar is subjected to F = 22.5 \  N

Generally given that the wheels rolls without slipping on the flat stationary ground surface, it implies that  point A is the  center of rotation.

  Generally the moment of  inertia about A is mathematically represented as

     I_a =  I_G + M* r^2

Here I_G is the moment of inertia about G with respect to the radius of gyration  which is mathematically represented as

    I_G =  M *  k_G

=>I_a = k_G*  M + M* r^2

=>I_a =0.4 * 6.9  + 6.9 * 0.69^2

=>I_a =6.045 \  kg \cdot m^2

Generally the torque experienced by the wheel  is mathematically represented as

       \tau =  F *  cos (47)

=>     \tau =  22.5 *  cos (47)

=>     \tau =  15.34 \ kg \cdot m^2 \cdot s^{-2}

Generally this torque is also mathematically represented as

     \tau = I_a * \alpha

=>   15.34  =  6.045 * \alpha

=>   \alpha =2.538 \  rad/s^2

What is an electric motor? Explain its operation. 2-3 sentence
Anarel [89]

Answer:

An electric motor is a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy. This change occurs due to the interaction between the magnetic field of magnets and the magnetic field due to the  electric current in the  loop. The interaction between the two produces a torque that makes the loop rotate on a shaft.

Over 4 seconds, a car's momentum decreases by 1000 kg m/s how much force did it take to make this happen?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

250N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 4s

Momentum  = 1000kgm/s

Unknown:

Force  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use Newton's second law of motion;

      Ft  = Momentum

F is the force

t is the time

So;

          F x 4 = 1000kgm/s

          F  = 250N
