Answer:

0.002 N/C

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Charge of object, q = 5 mC = 5 * 10^{-3} C

Acceleration of object, a = 0.005 m/s^2

Mass of object, m = 2.0 g

The Electric field exerts a particular force on the object, causing it to accelerate (Electrostatic force).

We know that Electrostatic force, F, is given in terms of Electric field, E, as:

F = qE

This means that the object exerts a force of -qE on the Electric force (Action with equal and opposite reaction).

The object also has a force, F, due to its acceleration a. This force is the product of its mass and acceleration. Mathematically:

F = ma

Equating the two forces of the object, we get:

-qE = ma

=> E = \frac{-ma}{q}

Solving for E, we have:

E = \frac{-2 * 10^{-3} * 0.005}{5 * 10^{-3}} \\\\\\E = -0.002 N/C

The magnitude will be:

|E| = |-0.002| N/C = 0.002 N/C

The electric field has a magnitude of 0.002 N/C.

in a closed system three objects have the following momentum: 11 kg* m/s, -65 kg*m/s and -100 kg m/s. the objects collide and mo
guajiro [1.7K]

Explanation:

The momentum of the three objects are as follow :

11 kg-m/s, -65 kg-m/s and -100 kg-m/s

Before collision, the momentum of the system is :

P_i=11+(-65)+(-100)\\\\P_i=-154\ kg-m/s

After collison, they move together. It means it is a case of inelastic collision. In this type of collision, the momentum of the system remains conserved.

It would mean that, after collision, momentum of the system is equal to the initial momentum.

Hence, final momentum = -154 kg-m/s.

Complete each statement about the sign of the work done on a baseball. Carlton catches a baseball and his hand moves backward as
dezoksy [38]

Answer and Explanation:

  • The work done is negative as the force is applied in the forward direction and the displacement of the hand is in the backward direction.
  • The work done is positive as the work is done on the baseball by Carlton. Moreover, both the force applied and the displacement of Carlton are in a straight line in the forward direction.
  • The work done in this case is zero as Carlton rides with constant speed, the Kinetic energy too remains constant and hence net work done is zero.
  • The work done in this case is positive as the work is done on the baseball by Carlton and as the velocity changes its Kinetic energy also varies wit it.
  • Also  the force applied and the displacement of Carlton in this case are in the directed to the same path.
