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

Two students walk in the same direction along a straight path, at a constant speed one at 0.90 m/s and the other at 1.90 m/s. a.
creativ13 [48]

Answer: a) 456.66 s ; b) 564.3 m

Explanation: The time spend to cover any distance a constant velocity is given by:

v= distance/time so t=distance/v

The slower student time is: t=780m/0.9 m/s= 866.66 s

For the faster students t=780 m/1,9 m/s= 410.52 s

Therefore the time difference is 866.66-410.52= 456.14 s

In order to calculate the distance that faster student should  walk

to arrive 5,5 m before that slower student, we consider the follow expressions:

distance =vslower*time1

distance= vfaster*time 2

The time difference is 5.5 m that is equal to 330 s

replacing in the above expression we have

time 1= 627 s

time2 = 297 s

The distance traveled is 564,3 m

The ___________ of an object consists of its speed and direction.
olga2289 [7]
Velocity, because if an object is in motion with no direction we will consider it as speed, but if it has direction we will consider it as Velocity. Hope it helps

Why might an electromagnet be used to pick up old cars in junk yards?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
I think the correct answer would be that because electromagnets are powerful and can be turned off and on anytime. Electromagnet is a magnet in which the magnetic field is made by the electric current that is induced to the system.
