<h2>Answer:</h2>

Force is equal to mass times acceleration

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

According to second law of Newton when a force is applied on an object, it produces an acceleration in that body and that acceleration is dependent upon the mass of that body. If the mass of the body is more then more force is required to produce an acceleration and vice versa. Mathematically this can be written as

F = m x a

Hey there!
The Second Law of Motion by Newton is f = ma, and that means the force of an object is defined by its mass times its acceleration.
Therefore your answer is e.
Hope this helps!

Calculate the electric field at the center of a square

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

$E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}$

The Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge $q_1$ .

Explanation:

Given:

side of a square, $a=52.5\ cm$

charge on one corner of the square, $q_1=+45\times 10^{-6}\ C$

charge on the remaining 3 corners of the square, $q_2=q_3=q_4=-27\times 10^{-6}\ C$

<u>Distance of the center from each corners</u> $=\frac{1}{2} \times diagonals$

$diagonal=\sqrt{52.5^2+52.5^2}$

$diagonal=74.25\cm=0.7425\ m$

∴Distance of center from corners, $b=0.3712\ m$

Now, electric field due to charges is given as:

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\times \frac{q}{b^2}$

<u>For charge $q_1$ we have the field lines emerging out of the charge since it is positively charged:</u>

$E_1=9\times 10^9\times \frac{45\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}$

$E_1=2938775.5\ N.C^{-1}$

<u>Force by each of the charges at the remaining corners:</u>

$E_2=E_3=E_4=9\times 10^9\times \frac{27\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}$

$E_2=E_3=E_4=1763265.3\ N.C^{-1}$

<u> Now, net electric field in the vertical direction:</u>

$E_y=E_1-E_4$

$E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}$

<u>Now, net electric field in the horizontal direction:</u>

$E_y=E_2-E_3$

$E_y=0\ N.C^{-1}$

So the Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge $q_1$ .

How are compounds and mixture alike ?

natita [175]

Compounds are atoms or molecules that are chemically bonded together to form a different molecule or compound. The process could be written as a chemical reaction. A mixture is when two elements or compounds are mixed together but do not react, ie no chemical reaction between the two occurs.

18. Compared to its weight on Earth, a 5 kg object on the moon will weigh A. the same amount. B. less. C. more.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

B. less

Explanation:

acceleration due to gravity on Earth, g = 9.8 m/s²

acceleration due to gravity on Moon, g = 1.6 m/s²

Given mass of the object as, m = 5 kg

Weight of an object is given as, W = mg

Weight of the object on Earth, W = 5 x 9.8 = 49 N

Weight of the object on Moon, W = 5 x 1.6 = 8 N

Therefore, the object weighs less on the moon compared to its weight on Earth.

The correct option is "B. less"
