Answer:

16916.4 V

Explanation:

Electric potential: This is the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point in against the action of the field. The S.I unit  of Electric potential is V.

mathematically, Electric potential can be expressed as

P = E×d ....................................... Equation 1.

Where P = Electric potential, E = Electric Field, d = distance/height of the level at the top of the Washington  Monument.

Given: E = 100 V/m, d = 555 ft = 555×0.3048 m = 169.164 m.

Substitute into equation 1

P = 100×169.164

P = 16916.4 V.

Thus the potential difference = 16916.4 V.

GarryVolchara [31]
Answer: 500 N

Explanation:

The formula to find the force exerted by a mass, we may use F = mg, where g, the gravity, and a, the acceleration, can be interchangeable in the formula.

1) F = 50 x 10
2) F = 500 N

Hope this helps, brainliest would be appreciated :)

Which description best matches the image below of a hand that is using the right-hand palm rule?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

When reviewing the results, the correct one is C

Explanation:

The right hand rule is widely useful in knowing the direction of force in a maganto field,

The ruler sets the thumb in the direction of the positive particle, the fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field, and the palm in the direction of the force.

Let's apply this to our exercise.

The thumb that is the speed goes in the negative direction of the axis,

The two extended that the magnetic field look negative x,

The span points entered the dear sheet the negative the Z axis

When reviewing the results, the correct one is C
