Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

where

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 20 N

m = 10 kg

We have

$a = \frac{20}{10} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

There are two parallel conductive plates separated by a distance d and zero potential. Calculate the potential and electric fiel

taurus [48]

Answer:

The total electric potential at mid way due to 'q' is $\frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}d}$

The net Electric field at midway due to 'q' is 0.

Solution:

According to the question, the separation between two parallel plates, plate A and plate B (say) = d

The electric potential at a distance d due to 'Q' is:

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q}{d}$

Now, for the Electric potential for the two plates A and B at midway between the plates due to 'q':

For plate A,

$V_{A} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{\frac{d}{2}}$

Similar is the case with plate B:

$V_{B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{\frac{d}{2}}$

Since the electric potential is a scalar quantity, the net or total potential is given as the sum of the potential for the two plates:

$V_{total} = V_{A} + V_{B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.q(\frac{1}{\frac{d}{2}} + \frac{1}{\frac{d}{2}}$

$V_{total} = \frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}d}$

Now,

The Electric field due to charge Q at a distance is given by:

$\vec{E} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q}{d^{2}}$

Now, if the charge q is mid way between the field, then distance is $\frac{d}{2}$ .

Electric Field at plate A, $\vec{E_{A}}$ at midway due to charge q:

$\vec{E_{A}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}$

Similarly, for plate B:

$\vec{E_{B}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}$

Both the fields for plate A and B are due to charge 'q' and as such will be equal in magnitude with direction of fields opposite to each other and hence cancels out making net Electric field zero.

How does nuclear energy work? Explain

fgiga [73]

There are many processes to get nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is basically energy from an atom. For example fission is where the nucleus of an atom ( typically radioactive atoms ) gets split then energy is released ( typically heat). And in radioactive decay radiation is released from an radioactive atom. Hope this helps
