Answer:

3.99×10⁵ N/C

Explanation:

Assuming both force forms a right angle triangle,

Using Pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c²................... Equation 1

Where a= resultant of the two forces, b = the force acting upward, c = the force acting to the right.

make a the subject of the equation.

a = √(b²+c²)....................... Equation 2

Given: b = 2.7×10⁻¹⁴ N, c = 5.8×10⁻¹⁴ N.

Substitute into equation 2

a = √[(2.7×10⁻¹⁴)²+( 5.8×10⁻¹⁴ )²]

a = √[7.28×10⁻²⁸)+(33.64×10⁻²⁸)]

a = √(40.92×10⁻²⁸)

a = 6.397×10⁻¹⁴ N.

But,

F = Eq ................ Equation 3

Where E = Electric Field, q = charge of an electron, F = electric force.

make E the subject of the equation,

E = F/q ............. Equation 4

Given: F = 6.397×10⁻¹⁴ N, q = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹  C.

Substitute into equation 4

E =  6.397×10⁻¹⁴/(1.602×10⁻¹⁹ )

E = 3.99×10⁵ N/C

vichka [17]

Answer:

230.26 N

Explanation:

Since the speed is constant, acceleration is zero hence the net force will be given by the product of mass, coefficient of friction and acceleration due to gravity

F=0.72*32.6*9.81=230.26 N

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

1838216 J

Explanation:

95 km/h = 26.39 m/s

40 km/h = 11.11 m/s

Initial kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x(26.39)²

= 557145.67 J

Final kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x ( 11.11)²

= 98745.68 J

Loss of kinetic energy

= 458400 J

Loss of potential energy

= mg x loss of height

= 1600 x 9.8 x 340 sin 15

= 1379816 J

Sum of Loss of potential energy and Loss of kinetic energy

=  1379816 + 458400

= 1838216 J

This is the work done by the friction . So this is heat generated.
