A 0.12 g honeybee acquires a charge of +24pC while flying. The earth's electric field near the surface is typically 100 N/C, dow

nward. (a) How many electrons were added to or removed from the honeybee? (b) What is the ratio of the electric force on the bee to the bee’s weight (Fe/Fg)? (c) What electric field strength and direction would allow the bee to hang suspended in the air without effort?

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

How do matter and energy interact to produce weather patterns
nadezda [96]
Weather is caused by different levels of humidity and the difference in the temperature of air which causes wind patterns. Energy from the sun evaporates the water on land. Air also heats up which brings up the water vapor to the atmosphere. This increases the humidity and the chance of rain. When hot is found near the land, this will create a high pressure which will prevent the formation of clouds and produce a fair weather.

What are the consequences of sediment pollution?
Nonamiya [84]
Loss of habitats for fish, birds, and other wildlife. Sediment pollution is one of the leading causes of the loss of the wetlands, but it’s not just the wetlands. Changes in the nutrients in your water. The same problem that affects the fish in your area may also affect you. Other drinking water contamination.

Derive this please as fast as u can​
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Derived in explanation

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation was discovered by Newton in 1686. According to this law:

“Every object in this universe attracts other body with a force, which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.”

Consider two bodies ‘A’ and ‘B’ having masses ‘m1’ and ‘m2’, respectively. They are placed with their centers at distance ‘r’ from each other.  

According to this law, force is directly proportional to the product of their masses, that is:

F\ \alpha\ (m_1)(m_2)

Also, the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, that is:

F\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{r^2}

On combining both equations we get:

Where ‘G’ is called ‘Gravitational Constant’ and its value is 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg².
