electric field lines are graphical presentation of electric field intensity

It is the graphical way to represent the electric field variation

If we draw the tangent to electric field line then it will give the direction of net electric field at that point

So whenever we draw the electric field lines of a charge distribution then it will always follow this basic properties

here we will always follow these basic properties of field lines

now as we can see that here two positive charges are placed nearby so the electric field must be like it can not intersect at any point because at intersection of two lines the direction of electric field not defined

As we have two directions of tangents at that point

So here the incorrect presentation is the intersection of two field lines which is not possible

The human ear canal is about 2.9 cm long and can be regarded as a tube open at one end and closed at the eardrum. What is the fu

solniwko [45]

The frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

Explanation:

As the ear canal is like a tube with open at one end, the wavelength of sound passing through this tube will propagate 4 times its length of the tube. So wavelength of the sound wave will be equal to four times the length of the tube. Then the frequency can be easily determined by finding the ratio of velocity of sound to wavelength. As the velocity of sound is given as 339 m/s, then the wavelength of the sound wave propagating through the ear canal is

Wavelength=4*Length of the ear canal

As length of the ear canal is given as 2.9 cm, it should be converted into meter as follows:

$wavelength = 4*2.9*10^{-2} =0.116$

Then the frequency is determined as

f=c/λ=339/0.116=2922 Hz=2.92 kHz.

So, the frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

The metric unit of force is the

grandymaker [24]

The unit of force is the 'Newton'.

1 newton is the force that accelerates 1 kilogram of mass
at the rate of 1 meter per second-squared.

1 N = 1 kg-m/s²

-- A force of 1 pound is about 4.448 newtons.

-- A force of 1 newton is about 3.6 ounces.

Which of the following is true when an object of mass m moving on a horizontal frictionless surface hits and sticks to an object

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A collision is said to be elastic when the total kinetic energy is the same after the collision. The speed of objects that are stuck together will always be less than the initial speed of the object that was in motion given that the other particle was at rest. It is because the kinetic energy of the system was due to the moving object. The objects have a greater overall mass when they are stuck. If the kinetic energy is the same and the mass increases, the velocity must decrease.

Which best describes a similarity between power plants that use water as an energy source and those that use wind as an energy s

disa [49]

The hydropower plant and wind turbines both uses kinetic energy to produce mechanical power and convert the mechanical energy using a generator to an electrical energy. They both have the process to produce energy but they differ in the source the hydropower plant uses water to whit the wind turbines power plant uses wind. Therefore the answer is letter B.

1. Do you think that hand signals are important in officiating games? why?

alex41 [277]

Yeah, hand signals are important in officiating games. The hand signals are given by the referee who first signals the fault and then indicates which team has won the point. A point is indicated by one finger at the side of the court to indicate the winner of the rally.
