The biggest thing you're doing wrong is ignoring the units
when you're working with the quantities.

Now let's look at the rest of the problem:

The formula you used is correct:

           Net flux through the surface = (net charge inside) / ε₀

and          ε₀ = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² farad/meter.

What's the net charge inside the surface in this problem ?

It's    (5.85 x 10⁷ electrons) x (the charge on each electron)

     =  (5.85 x 10⁷ electrons) x (-1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ coulomb/electron)

     =      -9.36 x 10⁻¹² coulomb .   

Finally,      (net charge inside) / ε₀

             =  (-9.36 x 10⁻¹² coulomb) / (8.85 x 10⁻¹² farad/meter)

             =        -1.058  newton-m²/coulomb .

The sign and the significant figures in your answer are correct, so
we can see that you know what you're doing.  The only thing left is
the order of magnitude.  You most likely took one of the negative
exponents and made it positive.  You got an answer that's 10²² too
small.  Big deal.  You could claim "that's close", and see whether you
can convince a teacher.

Determine the elastic energy U stored in<br> the compressed spring.
hoa [83]

Answer:

Answer: The spring constant of the spring is k = 800 N/m, and the potential energy is U = 196 J. To find the distance, rearrange the equation: The equation to find the distance the spring has been compressed is therefore: The spring has been compressed 0.70 m, which resulted in an elastic potential energy of U = 196 J being stored.

The answers are as follows:
1. B.
A typical atom is made up of three different particles, which are electron, proton and neutron. The proton and the neutron are located inside the nucleus of the atom while the electron orbit round the nucleus.
2. C
The number of proton in an atom determines the atomic number of that atom. Atom are positively charged particles and they do no participate in chemical reactions. The number of proton of an element remain constant at all time while the number of neutrons and the electrons in the atom may change.
3. B.
The first periodic table was created by Dmitri. He arranged the periodic table in such a way that, elements with similar properties fall into the same column in his periodic table. This was because, he arranged the periodic table on the basis of their physical and chemical properties.
4. A
The elements in the periodic table are arranged in horizontal row and vertical column. The column on the periodic table divides the elements into groups.
A row of element on the periodic table is called PERIOD. For elements on the same period, they have the same number of atomic orbitals.
5. A
Chemical symbol refers to the one or two letters which are used to represent a particular element. Chemical symbols are derived in a variety of ways. The chemical symbols make it possible for one to recognize an element quickly and to write it in an abbreviated form when writing chemical equations.
6. A.
An object is said to be ductile if it can be pulled into a long wire. It refers to an element's capacity to be pulled into a thin wire without the element been deformed. This is one of the properties of metals. Ductability makes it easier for one to work with a metal.
7. C
When metals atoms react with other atoms, the metal atoms lose electrons, this is because, metals usually have a low number of electrons in their outermost shells, which they always preferred to donate in order to achieve octet form.
8. B
Particle accelerator is a machine that accelerate elementary particles to very high energies, thus producing beam of charged particles which can be used for a lot of different purposes.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

4.6s

Explanation:

v=u+at

0=22.5+(-9.8)t

-22.5=-9.8t

t=-22.5/-9.8

t=2.295 s

The total time will double

2.295×2=4.59s

=4.6s
