Hi,

The forces are; weight (gravity), Normal/centripetal force and friction. Force due to gravity is constant where as friction and centripetal are not.

Explanation

Weight is constant, given by the force of gravity on the object. The centripetal force is a function of the angles occurring between the velocity vector and the weight vector that is at right angle with the perpendicular line drawn from the surface. Friction is a function of the centripetal force thus it also varies.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

$-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Explanation:

r = Radius

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Electric field is given by

$E=-\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{1610\times 0.1^2}{8.99\times 10^9}\\\Rightarrow q=-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge is $-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$Q+q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}-q\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{120\times 0.35^2}{8.99\times 10^9}-(-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9})\\\Rightarrow Q=3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge is $3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge inside will have the polarity changed

$q=+1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Outside the charge will be

$3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\\ =1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The properties of element 17 are most similar to which of the following elements?

DedPeter [7]

Halogens are highly reactive nonmetal elements in group 17 of the periodic table. ... Halogens are among the most reactive of all elements. They have seven valence electrons, so they are very “eager” to gain one electron to have a full outer energy level.
