Answer :  The angle between the string and the horizontal is 30 degrees

Explanation:  Imagine this a a triangle where the length of the string (200m) is the hypotenuse and the height of the kite is the opposite side (100m) .

Let the angle between the string and the horizontal be theta.

Now  sin (Theta) = opposite side/hypotenuse

                             =  100/200 = 1/2

Therefore Theta = Sin ⁻¹ ( 1/2 )

Theta = 30 degrees

A cement factory emits 900 kilograms of CO2 to produce 1,000 kilograms of cement. A fully grown tree removes six kilograms of CO
Ierofanga [76]
Since the factory will be producing 100,000 kilograms of cement, using the relation 1000 kg of cement = 900 kg of CO2, then the factory will be emitting 90,000 kg of CO2 at the same time. To counteract the emission, a tree can remove 6 kg of CO2 per day. Dividing 90,000 kg by 6 kg to know the number of trees, we need 15000 trees to counter the emission. Since 1 acre of land holds 200 trees, we need 75 acres of land to hold the 15000 trees.

An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.40 m and a spring constant of 340 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

(a) Both the charges are positive or negative.

(b) Teh value of each charge is 1.53 x 10^-5 C.

Explanation:

Spring constant, K = 340 N/m

Natural length, L = 0.4 m

stretch, y = 0.033 m

(a) Let the charge on each sphere is q and they repel each other so the nature of charge of either sphere may be both positive or both negative.  

(b) The electrostatic force is balanced by the spring force.

\frac{kq^2}{(L + y)^2}=Ky\\\\\\\frac{9\times 10^9 q^2}{(0.4 +0.033)^2} = 340\times0.033\\\\q= 1.53\times 10^{-5} C

In which direction does the electric field point at a position directly north of a positive charge?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

B. South

Explanation:

An electric field can be defined as the amount of electric force per unit charge. The direction of the electric field can be determined by the motion of a positive test charge under the electric force.

The direction of electric field is radially outward for a positive charge and radially inward for a negative charge. Thus, for the electric field points toward SOUTH at a position directly south of a positive charge.

Why does a hot air balloon fall when the air inside is not heated​
trapecia [35]
A hot air balloon rises in the first place because the air inside is hot, which rises. So, if the air inside is not heated, it fails to rise and falls. Warm air rises because the particles get excited and jiggle with the heat, and cause the air to take up more space. So, as the surrounding air is probably colder and denser, the less dense hot air rises up in the hot air balloon.
