Answer:

(B) Vertically upward

Explanation:

r = Side of triangle = 14 cm

q = Charge = -2.5 nC

Electrical force is given by

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times (2.5\times 10^{-9})^2}{0.14^2}\\\Rightarrow F=2.86671\times 10^{-6}\ N

For the top charge

Net force on both charges is given by

F_n=2Fcos\theta\\\Rightarrow F_n=2\times 2.86671\times 10^{-6}\times cos30\\\Rightarrow F_n=4.96529\times 10^{-6}\ N

The net force acting on the top charge is 4.96529\times 10^{-6}\ N

Here the forces are symmetrical hence, the net force is along +y axis i.e., upward

What can I do to increase range of motion in a joint
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Damian here! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Stretching is used to improve range-of-motion (ROM) of a joint, but why? The most common reason is that the joint ROM is limited and is somehow affecting performance of a desired activity. Stretching is also used as a preventative measure.

Explanation:hope this helps? :))

Answer: A is your answer i am sorry if i am wrong

Explanation:

he first PLCs were programmed with a technique that was based on relay logic wiring schematics. This eliminated the need to teach the electricians, technicians and engineers how to program a computer - but, this method has stuck and it is the most common technique for programming PLCs today.

What landform is created when magma squeezes between rock layers to form a hardened slab of rock?
Zigmanuir [339]
<span>D. sill

A sill forms when hot magma squeezes between layers of rock to form a hardened sheet of rock. A sill is basically a tabular sheet intrusion between old layers of sedimentary rock, volcanic beds, or in the direction of foliation inherent in metamorphic rock. The word sill means a concordant intrusive sheet.</span>

*please refer to photo* An electric field of magnitude 5.25 ✕ 10^5N/C points due south at a certain location. Find the magnitude
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Approximately 3.86\; {\rm N} (given that the magnitude of this charge is -7.35\; {\rm \mu C}.)

Explanation:

If a charge of magnitude q is placed in an electric field of magnitude E, the magnitude of the electrostatic force on that charge would be F = E\, q.

The magnitude of this charge is q = 7.35\; {\rm \mu C}. Apply the unit conversion 1\; {\rm \mu C} = 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}:

\begin{aligned} q &= 7.35\; {\mu C} \times \frac{10^{-6}\; {\rm C}}{1\; {\mu C}} = 7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}\end{aligned}.

An electric field of magnitude E = 5.25\times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} would exert on this charge a force with a magnitude of:

\begin{aligned}F &= E\, q \\ &= 5.25 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} \times (-7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}) \\ &\approx 3.86\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}.

Note that the electric charge in this question is negative. Hence, electrostatic force on this charge would be opposite in direction to the the electric field. Since the electric field points due south, the electrostatic force on this charge would point due north.
