Answer:

Yes, a force is require to set an object in motion.

Explanation:

In space, even if you feel weightless, you are subject to motion. If you are orbiting the Earth, you are under the constant influence of Earth having a free-fall acceleration equal to the centripetal acceleration.
To disturb this orbital motion, an external force is required.
According to Newton's laws of motion, a force is required to change the state of the rest of a body or to change the velocity or direction if it is moving with uniform velocity along a straight line.
Whenever there is a change in velocity or direction of a body there is a force acting on it.

What is the Mirror equation? What does it look like?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1/f = 1/D' + 1/D

The magnification equation relates the ratio of the image distance and object distance to the ratio of the image height (h^i) and object height (h^o). The magnification equation is stated as follows:

M= H^i/H^o = D^i/D^o

At a certain distance from a point charge, the potential and electric-field magnitude due to that charge are 4.98 V and 16.2 V/m

son4ous [18]

Answer:

A. 30.7cm

B. $1.7*10^{-10}C$

C. The electric field is directed away from the point of charge

Explanation:

$because, E=\frac{v}{d} \\\\d= \frac{4.98}{16.2}\\\\ d = 0.307m\\\\d = 30.7 cm$

Considering Gauss's law

$EA = \frac{Q}{e}\\\\ where, e = pertittivity. space= 8.85* 10^{-12} Fm^{-1} \\\\A = surface. area. with.radius 0.307m\\Q= eEA = (8.85*10^{-12})(16.2)(4\pi)(0.307)^{2}\\\\= 1.7*10^{-10}C$
