A small piece of dust of mass m = 4.1 µg travels through an electric air cleaner in which the electric field is 466 N/C. The ele

ctric force on the dust particle is equal to the weight of the particle.
(a) What is the charge on the dust particle?
C

(b) If this charge is provided by an excess of electrons, how many electrons does that correspond to?
electrons

Answer:

Explanation:

mass, m = 4.1 x 10^-6 g

Electric field, E = 466 N/C

Electric force = weight

(a) Electric force = q x E = m x g

where, q be the charge on the dust particle.

q x 466 = 4.1 x 10^-6 x 9.8

q = 8.62 x 10^-8 C

(b) Number of electron  = charge / charge of one electron

n = 8.62 x 10^-8 / (1.6 x 10^-19)

n = 5.4 x 10^11

One type of potential energy is gravitational potential energy. What is necessary for an object to have gravitational potential
galben [10]

Answer:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. Since the force required to lift it is equal to its weight, it follows that the gravitational potential energy is equal to its weight times the height to which it is lifted.
