Answer:

the charge per unit area on the plastic sheet is - 3.23 x 10⁻⁷ C/m²

Explanation:

given information:

styrofoam mass, m = 16 g = 0.016 kg

net charge, q = - 8.6 μC

to calculate the charge per unit area on the plastic sheet, we can use the following equation:

F_{e} = mg

where

F_{e} = the force between the electric field

m = mass

g = gravitational force

F_{e} =qE

where

q = charge

E = electric field

and

E = σ/2ε₀

where

ε₀ = permitivity

thus

F_{e} =qE

mg = qσ/2ε₀

σ = (2mg ε₀)/q

  = 2 (0.016) (9.8)  (8.85 x 10⁻¹²)/( - 8.6 x 10⁻⁶)

  = - 3.23 x 10⁻⁷ C/m²

When an object is thrown upwards and reaches its maximum height its speed is: a. Greater than the initial
suter [353]

Answer:

Option d

Explanation:

When we throw an object in the upward direction, we provide it with certain initial velocity due to which it covers a certain distance up to the maximum height.

While the object is moving in the upward direction, its velocity keeps on reducing due to the acceleration due to gravity which acts vertically downwards in the opposite direction thus reducing its velocity.

So, the maximum height attained by the object is the point where this upward velocity of the body becomes zero and after that the object starts to fall down.

What Energy source that produces wind
svetoff [14.1K]
Wind is usually caused by a difference in pressure that causes wind to be "Pushed" on the surface of earth. Air usually moves from high to low pressure and that is what we call wind. Please hit the thanks button if this helped :)

2. When the pump removed the air in<br> the bell, the balloon<br> contracted<br> expanded
IRINA_888 [86]

When the pump removed the air in  the bell, the balloon expanded.

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In order to construct our own environment in the glass jar known as bell jar system, which can be used to explore and consider our larger environment on Earths, for an instance. Here a glass jar that hinges on an airtight rubber basis i.e seals appropriately. At the top of the jar, a bung is connected to it which passed via a metal tube. It has an adjacent flexible tube that goes to a hand vacuum pump and the best hand-powered pump was made with a wine preserver.

When the pump extracts the air from the bell jar, the pressure inside the balloon naturally decreases. The balloon usually has a air pressure around it, which restricts its size, but when this air is extracted and the pressure around it decreases the gas in the balloon will expand and the balloon seems to be inflating. When you release the air back into the bell jar, it will once again compress back to its actual size.

Which statement describes why scientific notation is useful? It makes very small numbers into whole numbers. It converts fractio
disa [49]

It makes calculations with very large and small numbers easier.

Scientific notation is a system used in order to It makes calculations with very large and small numbers easier. It is useful as it allows very large number that would take a lot of space to write otherwise, and it allows them to be calculated easier. 10^{23} for example is a incredible large number, but written in this form is immediately understandable and useful for calculation.
