A chef places an open sack of flour on a kitchen scale. The scale reading of
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Initial reading on scale =40 N
So, we can conclude that weight of the sack is 40 N
After this a 10 N force is applied upward on the sack such that the net force becomes (40-10) N downward (because downward force is more)
This net downward force is the resultant of earth graviational pull and the applied upward force.
So, this downward force acts on the machine which inturn applies an upaward force of same magnitude called Normal reaction.
This situation can be diagramatically represented by figure given below

Answer:
E_total = 3 N / A
Explanation:
The electric field is a vector magnitude so when adding we must use vectors, in this case as the initial field E = 4N / c goes towards the axis axis and the field created by the fixed charge (E1) is also on the axis x we can add in scalar form.
E_total = E + E₁
the expression for the field of a point charge is
E₁ = k q₁ / r²
for the point x = 2m, they do not say that the total field is zero, so the charge q1 must be negative
E_total = E -k q₁ / r₂
we substitute
0 = E - k q₁ / r²
q₁ =
let's calculate
q₁ =
q₁ = 1.78 10⁻⁹ C
now we can calculate the field for position x = 4 m
E_total = 4 - 9 10⁹ 1.78 10⁻⁹ / 4²2
E_total = 3 N / A
