It would be safe to stand on the insulated sphere since it is covered by a material that does not allow the passage of current or an insulator. With the insulator, the student can freely touch the sphere but without it, touching the sphere when it is charged is very dangerous as it would electrocute you since the charge from the sphere would freely flow onto your body. Insulators are being used to be able to protect humans from any danger in touching charged objects. Insulators have very high resistance to the flow of current through them. Examples are rubber, glass, cellulose, polystyrene and wood.

An electron is projected with horizontal speed 105m / s in a downwardly directed 304N / C electric field. Find the vertical posi
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

-107 m

Explanation:

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

-qE = ma

a = -qE/m

a = -(1.60×10⁻¹⁹ C) (304 N/C) / (9.11×10⁻³¹ kg)

a = -53.4×10¹² m/s²

Given in the y direction:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -53.4×10¹² m/s²

t = 2×10⁻⁶ s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (2×10⁻⁶ s) + ½ (-53.4×10¹² m/s²) (2×10⁻⁶ s)²

Δy = -107 m

How is speed determined?
enot [183]

Speed equals distance divided by time (Speed=Distance/Time).

For example if it takes someone three minutes to go three miles their speed is one mile a minute.
