Answer:

The charge on the third object is − 21.7nC

Explanation:

From Gauss's Law

Φ = Q/ε₀

where;

Φ is the total electric flux through the shell = − 533 N⋅m²/C

Q is the total charge Q in the shell = ?

ε₀ is the permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

From this equation; Φ = Q/ε₀

Q = Φ * ε₀ = − 533 * 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

Q =  −4.7 X 10⁻⁹ C = -4.7nC

Q = q₁ + q₂ + q₃

− 4.7nC = − 14.0 nC + 31.0 nC + q₃

− 4.7nC − 17nC = q₃

− 21.7nC = q₃

Therefore, the charge on the third object is − 21.7nC

A woman drives 6 miles, accelerating uniformly from rest to 70 mph. How long does it take for her to reach 70 mph?
Morgarella [4.7K]
Using the two kinematic equations that can be used for this problem are:
Vf = Vi + at and d=Vit +(1/2)*at^2
Since Vi (initial velocity) = 0 

The equations can further be simplified where a is the acceleration, t is the time, Vf is the final velocity which is 70 miles per hour and d is 6 miles

Vf = at
70 = at
a = 70/t---equation 1

d=(1/2)*a*(t^2)
6 = (1/2)*a*(t^2) ---equation 2

Substituting equation 1 to equation 2.
6= (1/2)*(70/t)*(t^2)
6= 35t
t= 0.17142 hours or 10.28571 mins or 617.14 sec

Why must the electric field be normal to the surface at every point of a charged conductor?
solong [7]
-- If the field were inclined to the surface, then it would have
some component parallel to the surface. 

-- Then, since we're talking about a conductor, the charges
on the object would move in response to that component
of the field, until there was no longer any component of the
field trying to move them.

Long sand ridges oriented at right angles to the wind are called _____ dunes
S_A_V [24]

The answer is:

Transverse dune

The explanation:

Transverse dune : is abundant barchan dunes It  may merge into barchanoid ridges, which then grade into linear .

The transverse dunes is called that because they lie transverse, or across, the wind direction, with the wind blowing perpendicular to the ridge crest.

It is large, very asymmetrical, elongated dune lying at right angles 90° to the prevailing wind direction.

Transverse dunes have a gently sloping windward side and a steeply sloping leeward side.

They general form in areas of sparse vegetation and abundant sand are transverse dunes.
