Answer:

a) E = 1.47 × 10^5 N/C

b) south

Explanation:

The magnitude of an electric field can be defined mathematically as;

E = F/q ........1

Where,

E = magnitude of the electric field

F = electric force

q = charge on the proton

Given;

F = 2.36 × 10^-14 N

Note that charge on a proton is known as Qp = 1.602 × 10^-19 C

q = 1.602 × 10^-19 C

Substituting into equation 1, we have;

E = 2.36 × 10^-14 N/1.602 × 10^-19 C

E = 1.47 × 10^5 N/C

b) The direction of the electric field;

From equation 1

E = F/q ........1

since both electric field and electric force are vector quantity and q is a positive charge (constant), then both the electric field and electric force would be parallel to each other. Therefore the electric field is directed to the south also.

(When a vector is multiplied by a positive constant the direction remains the same)

20.0 -kg cannonball is fired from a cannon with muzzle speed of 1000m/s at an angle of 37.0° with the horizontal. A second ball
Dovator [93]

The mechanical energy for the first and the second ball is

10 ^{7}  \: joules.

Mass of the first ball = 20 kg

The initial speed at which a cannonball is fired from a cannon =1000 m/s

The angle made by the cannonball while being fired from the cannon = 37°

The maximum height reached by the first ball is,

=   \frac{ u {}^{2} _{1}sin {}^{2} θ}{2g}

=    \frac{ {1000}^{2} sin {}^{2}37°}{2 \times 9.8}

= 18478.69 \: m

The maximum height of the first cannonball is 17478.69 m.

The initial speed at which a cannonball is fired from a cannon =1000 m/s

The angle made by the cannonball while being fired from the cannon = 90 °

=   \frac{ u {}^{2} _{2}sin {}^{2} θ}{2g}

=   \frac{ 1000{}^{2}sin^{2} 90°}{2 \times 9.8}[tex] = 51020.41 \: m

For the first ball, total mechanical energy= Potential energy at maximum height + kinetic energy at the maximum height

So, the total mechanical energy is,

= mgh \: + \frac{1}{2}mv {}^{2} _{x}[/tex]

= 20 \times 9.8 \times 18478.64  \times  \frac{20}{2} (1000 \: cos37 °)

= 10 ^{7}  The potential energy at the maximum height, = m _{2}gh

= 20 \times 9.8  \times 51020.41

= 10 ^{7} \:J

Therefore, the total mechanical energy for the first and the

\:second \:  cannonball \:  is  \: 10 ^{7}  \:joules.

Why must objects be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance?
zubka84 [21]
Objects should be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance because it could damage the balance. Also, because it would give you wrong reading of the mass. Hot objects would warm the air around it. A warm air would expand and would produce convection as it rises causing to give the object a mass that is less than the actual. Another reason would be it would cause instability in the readings, the mass would fluctuate every now and then due to the convection currents around the object. It is always recommended to weigh the masses of objects that are in room temperature.
