Answer:

The correct statement is "The electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of \rm \dfrac{ke}{r^2} ".

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electric field due to a static point charge q at a point r distance away from it is given by

\rm E = \dfrac{k|q|}{r^2}.

  • k is the Coulmob's constant.

The direction of the electric field along the line joining the charge and the point where electric field is to be found and it is directed from positive charge to negative charge.

Conventionally, we assume a positive test charge placed at the point where electric field is to be found, the test charge has very small charge such that its charge does not affect the electric field due to the given charge.

The charge on the electron = -e.

The electric field due to an electron is given by

\rm E = \dfrac{k|-e|}{r^2}=\dfrac{ke}{r^2}.

The direction of this electric field is from positive test charge, placed at the point where electric field is to be found, towards the electron along the line joining the two.

Thus, the correct statement is "The electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of \rm \dfrac{ke}{r^2} ".

A child pulls a wagon at a constant velocity along a level sidewalk. The child does this by applying a 22 newton force to the wa
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The answer is 18 N.

Explanation:

A force can be divided into components x and y components. The component along the x-axis is called the horizontal component and along the y-axis is called the vertical component. In this case, as the force is in a horizontal direction and is also known as x-component of force. The x- component of force is  

Fx = Fcosθ

Fx = 22(cos 35°)

Fx = 22 x 0.819

Fx =  18 N

Child's horizontal pull forces are equal to that of frictional resistance force on the wagon.

what is the mass of vertical column of air that exerts pressure of 1 atm over a10m by 10m square surface
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

m=1.01\times 10^6\ kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure, P = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

Area of the square surface, A = 10² = 100 m²

We need to find the mass of vertical column of air. We know that, pressure is equal to the force acting per unit area. So,

P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\m=\dfrac{PA}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{101325\times 10^2}{10}\\\\m=1.01\times 10^6\ kg

So, the required mass of the vertical column of air is 1.01\times 10^6\ kg.
