Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Distance is a scalar quantity. It refers only to how far an object has traveled. For example, 4 feet is a distance; it gives no information about direction.

There are no scalar quantities on the list you provided.

Some examples of scalar quantities are: distance, speed, mass, cost, temperature, density

A 2.0 m × 4.0 m flat carpet acquires a uniformly distributed charge of −10 μC after you and your friends walk across it several

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The charge on the dust particle is $q_d = 6.94 *10^{-13} \ C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length is $l = 2.0 \ m$

The width is $w = 4.0 \ m$

The charge is $q = -10\mu C= -10*10^{-6} \ C$

The mass suspended in mid-air is $m_a = 5.0 \mu g = 5.0 *10^{-6} \ g = 5.0 *10^{-9} \ kg$

Generally the electric field on the carpet is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{q}{ 2 * A * \epsilon _o}$

Where $\epsilon _o$ is the permittivity of free space with value $\epsilon_o = 8.85*10^{-12} \ \ m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot s^4 \cdot A^2$

substituting values

$E = \frac{-10*10^{-6}}{ 2 * (2 * 4 ) * 8.85*10^{-12}}$

$E = -70621.5 \ N/C$

Generally the electric force keeping the dust particle on the air equal to the force of gravity acting on the particles

$F__{E}} = F__{G}}$

=> $q_d * E = m * g$

=> $q_d = \frac{m * g}{E}$

=> $q_d = \frac{5.0 *10^{-9} * 9.8}{70621.5}$

=> $q_d = 6.94 *10^{-13} \ C$

What is the primary force that causes the seafloor to spread and continents to drift?

jekas [21]

The primary force would be Thermal Convection, it pushes it and thus makes continents drift.
