Answer: Option (A) to the right

Explanation:

Let me explain it in simple words!

Always remember that the electric field direction is outward from a positive charge (be it a single positively charged particle, or a positive rod) and inward into a negative charge. In this case, as you can see, the electric field arrows' direction is from right to left. It means that the positive charge is on the right side, and the negative charge is on the left side.

Now what will happen when you place a negatively charged object within this electric field? Well, as you know, two negatively charged objects repel each other, and positively and negatively charged objects attract each other. The negatively charged object will move<em> towards right</em>, since there is a positive charge on right side (as explained in the first paragraph), which will attract this negatively charged object. Furthermore, the negative charge on the left side will repel this negatively charged object towards right (against the direction of the electric field). Hence, the correct answer is Option (A) to the right.

You must be wondering why I didn't mention the upward and downward motion. Well, again always remember that the positively charged object moves along the direction of electric field, and the negatively charged object moves against the direction of electric field (as explained above). <em>Charged bodies do not move perpendicular to the direction of electric field</em> (unless there is some net external force applied to that object).

I hope this helps! :)

The current in a hair dryer measures 15 amps. The resistance of the hair dryer is 14 ohms. What is the voltage?
ZanzabumX [31]
We have that there is a formula connecting these three. V=I*R where V is voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Substituting, we get that V=210 Volta, which is the unit of measurement for voltage. You can think of the relationship in the following way : The energy of the field is equal to the flow of the field times the resistance that it meets.

<h3>What is The Law of Gravity?</h3>

According to Newton's law of gravity, every particle of matter in the universe is attracted to every other particle with a force that varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as their distance from one another.

Properties of Gravity -

  • It is a universal attractive force. It is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies.
  • It obey inverse square law.
  • It is the weakest force known in nature.

Examples of Gravity -

  • The force that holds the gases in the sun.
  • The force that causes a ball you throw in the air to come down again.
  • The force that causes a car to coast downhill even when you aren't stepping on the gas.

v₀=0 m/s

H₀=0 m

g=10 m/s²

t=7,2 s

H - ?

H= H_{0} + v_{0}t+\frac{gt^{2} }{2}   \\

H = 0 +0 × 7.2 + 10(7.2)²/2

H = 36m
