As we know that electric field at any point caused due to a point charge given by, kQ/r^2

Where, k is dielectric constant of medium, Q is the point charge and r is the distance between the point charge and point where electric field is to be measured.

Let us assume a charge of q is placed at x=+20cm to make electric field at
x=+10cm zero.

Total electric field at x=+10cm can be shown by equation,

(k X 2.20 X 10^-12)/(10-0)^2  +  (k X -4.80 X 10^-12)/(10-(-11))^2  + (k X
q)/(10-20)^2  = 0

=> 2.20 X 10^-14 - 1.09 X 10^-14 + q X 10^-2 = 0

=> q = 1.09 X 10^-12 - 2.20 X 10^-12

=> q = -1.1 X 10^-12 Coulombs or -1.1 pC

Answer: The charge must be -1.11pC

Explanation: The field done by a charge is equal to:

E(x) = k*q/(x - x')^2

Where k is the constant, q is the charge and x' is the position of the charge, then, the total field at the point x = 10cm must be also zero, we have:

E(10cm) = k*(2.20pC/(10cm - 0cm)^2 - 4.80pC/(10cm + 11cm)^2 + Q/(10cm - 20cm)^2) = 0

And we must find the value of Q.

(2.20pC/(10cm)^2 - 4.80pC/(21cm)^2 + Q/(-10cm)^2) = 0

Q = (-2.20pC/(10cm)^2 + 4.80pC/(21cm)^2)*(10cm)^2 = -1.11pC

An electron is released from rest in a weak electric field given by vector E = -1.30 10-10 N/C ĵ. After the electron has travel
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

v =  6.45 10⁻³ m / s

Explanation:

Electric force is

               F = q E

Where q is the charge and E is the electric field

Let's use Newton's second law to find acceleration

                F- W = m a

               a = F / m - g

               a = q / m E  g

Let's calculate

               a = -1.6 10⁻¹⁹ / 9.1 10⁻³¹ (-1.30 10⁻¹⁰) - 9.8

              a = 0.228 10² -9.8

              a=  13.0 m / s²

Now we can use kinematics, knowing that the resting parts electrons

              v² = v₀² + 2 a y

              v =√ (0 + 2 13.0 1.6 10⁻⁶)

            v =  6.45 10⁻³ m / s

What is solar wind i ask that you help me
Novay_Z [31]
My answer -

the corona, the sun's outer layer, reaches temperatures of up to 2 million degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 million Celsius). At this level, the sun's gravity can't hold on to the rapidly moving particles, and it streams away from the star.

The sun's activity shifts over the course of its 11-year cycle, with sun spot numbers, radiation levels, and ejected material changing over time. These alterations affect the properties of the solar wind, including its magnetic field properties, velocity, temperature and density. The wind also differs based on where on the sun it comes from and how quickly that portion is rotating.

The velocity of the solar wind is higher over coronal holes, reaching speeds of up to 500 miles (800 kilometers) per second. The temperature and density over coronal holes are low, and the magnetic field is weak, so the field lines are open to space. These holes occur at the poles and low latitudes, and reach their largest when activity on the sun is at its minimum. Temperatures in the fast wind can reach up to 1 million degrees F (800,000 C).

At the coronal streamer belt around the equator, the solar wind travels more slowly, at around 200 miles (300 km) per second. Temperatures in the slow wind reach up to 2.9 million F (1.6 million C).

p.s

Glad to help you and if you need anything else on brainly let me know so I can elp you again have an AWESOME!!! :^)

Assuming motion is on a straight path, what would result in two positive components of a vector?
erastovalidia [21]
Assuming motion is on a straight path, the result of two positive components of a vector would also be a positive value since both are having positive signs and directions. The direction would be the same with the motion as well. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
